380, or even suggest that it should be your primary choice for carry, let’s start by looking at the data. Which round is which? Photo: author The best database of handgun performance I’ve yet seen comes from Greg Ellifritz at Active Response Training. His results, compiled from hundreds of actual shootings over many years, show that while the. 380 doesn’t work quite as well as the 9mm. 45 ACP in its job of stopping attackers, it’s also not that far off. In Ellifritz’s studies, the “major” calibers are pretty darned close to each other in terms of actual performance. Close enough, in fact, that they are in a statistical dead heat. 380, on the other hand, is definitely not the performer that the bigger cartridges are. 380 is still remarkably effective and a whole lot better than anything smaller. 40 S&W, to pick one at random, is less than the difference between the. 380 half as good as the 9mm? If the data is accurate, it’s actually better than that.įacts, as John Adams pointed out, are stubborn things. The important point here is that, despite what we feel or have been told, the. 380 ACP is not the complete weakling everyone would have you believe. I’ve personally met two people who successfully defended themselves with a. Both incidents were over within three rounds, and both defenders emerged unscathed. The same could not be said of their attackers, neither of whom are with us any longer. The question is, why would you want to? Balance of Speed and Precision The fact is that you probably can successfully defend yourself with this particular ‘mousegun’ caliber. The answer is more complicated than you might think, and revolves around your balance of speed and precision. The target dictates the level of precision you need to reach, and that part of the shooting equation never changes. The variable is how fast you can deliver rounds into that area. The more recoil the gun/cartridge combination produces, the slower you’ll be able to shoot into that level of precision. This is the balance of speed (your ability to shoot multiple rounds accurately) and precision (the area of the target you must hit). ![]() The less recoil you are forced to deal with, the faster you’ll be able to shoot to any given level of precision. That translates into being able to deliver more rounds on target in a specific time frame. In the case of an attacking criminal, the more rounds you can put into his vital areas, the sooner he’s going to stop being a threat to your life. This is why so many major defensive shooting trainers have come to embrace the 9mm over the. There have been 4,001 plays and 3 likes from 3 votes since.
