I second that! My Sig P232 in .380 is very accurate. It's all about placement. I don't care what anyone says about the ballistics compared to a luger 9mm, I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a .380. For me, it's a very good option in a small pistol.
No matter where you go.....There you are.

Horta, welcome (I haven't noticed you on here yet). So I see you're from the Bay Area. What part? My home is in the East Bay. Currently I'm down at school in San Luis Obispo, though.
EMF, it sounds like NJ has some pretty messed up gun laws like California. Do you guys currently have an assault weapons ban? The one here in CA is like the federal one that expired. It's just like it never expired here!

Thanks, my best gun for this type of shoot is an old Ruger 44 mag...loaded down of course. I have run more than 5,000 rounds through that gun so the action is very smooth and fast...for a single action. I do ok with autos by I dont usually miss with a revolver. The 454 Casual Raging Bull was a very accurate gun but that S&W 500 is amazing and it does not kick to talk about...that 454 wears you out after 20 rounds My favorite autos are a Baby Eagle 9mm (the best feeling handgun of all time), An older Wilson Combat 45...a one hole wonder. I carry my Keltch 32 cal everywhere...quite a little shooter and it fits in the palm of your hand and pocket. Dan The Baby Eagle 9mm is also known as the Jericho abroad and back in Isreal...I got to shoot this a fair bit on some joint exercises and loved it as well. ![[Linked Image from i343.photobucket.com]](http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o445/SteelFan-Infi/jericho03b.jpg) Similar in grip design to the CZ 75 and successive models it is very comfortable but does not use the browning cam design and as a result can be fitted with a moderator and is very reliable. I also like the way the slide tracks inside the frame like the Sig design for greater accuracy. The only problem with moderators on 9mm rounds is the size needed and how this impacts on balance and feel....for reasons such as this and also the quieter "crack" of a 9mm short or .32acp round...these are more commonly encountered in military "moderated" pistols...but again these are often way too muzzle heavy for good natural pointing... Here are our old Wellrod designs which still get issued... ![[Linked Image from i343.photobucket.com]](http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o445/SteelFan-Infi/welrod_1.jpg) The top one is the Mk1 in .32acp and the bottom is the Mk2 in 9mm...single shot and big and cumbersome...they are none the less totally silenced. Re-cocking the pistol manually though is a slow process and re-affirms the point Dan made that accuracy is a final decider on effective use. But if used accurately a .32acp or a .380acp is just as effective as any other round....although for me I like the Ruger I posted earlier...compact and perfectly balanced...and even a .22 works very well if it hits what you aim at.

SF, your experiences with the Jericho is about the same as mine.
Wellrods, a nice addition to any kit!

My Bersa .380 is very accurate. The only pistol I have ever had in that size that was even close was my East German Makarov. My Kel-Tec .380 is the worst pistol I have for accuracy, but it seems reliable enough. My old Colt Gov't Model (mini-1911) is fairly accurate. Had a Walther PPK for while....well one range trip. What a POS that was. It was one of the Alabama made ones. I'd rather have a nickel plated Raven .32! My Bersa is the same shoots nice.

Oh, I didn't take "mousegun" as any serious criticism. I just thought it was funny and I thought of the pictures of P-easy's Desert Eagle. That's most definitely not a "mousegun!"
The reason I chose the .380 was because I could easily afford the gun and a .380 acp is much more powerful than a .22, which was my only other option.
Oh, welcome, Doc! The Yard is a great place! I took a Browning 380 to a last chance shoot...bowling pins, and the guys could not stop laughing and making fun...at least until I cleared the table and took second place. I was there with that gun to prove that its bullet placement and its not always about massive power. Welcome Doc Dumpster dan That would have been great to see LOL

Not only is ammo hard to find but powder is as well. Nothing but back orders every where you look <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
