Post of the day.
It's all about concealment
Me too!!
380's btw
These are my recovered rounds from 10% gel through denim.
Top 3 32's
Sig 380
The huge silver is a 380 Winchester Train and defend. (But only 7 inches)
I would love to hear opinions on that huge hole vs loss of penetration.
My best 380's were the sig and the critical defense pink tip both within a 1/4 inch of each other at 12ish inches
I was almost the same as the Lucky Gunner tests though I thought the sig was a hair better.

The huge copper in the middle is a 38 Buffalo Bores Barnes non plus p at 13 inches fired from a 2 inch colt!!!
I could never get a (non +p) 38 to expand from a 2 inch barrel.
Changes everything if they still make it.
Now I think about adding a Smith & Wesson 642 Airweight but only because of that one bullet as most are so poor.
(I sold my 1967 Colt 2 inch 38. Just too heavy)
