Like my PPK/s. Nice little gun. I like this for when I go biking or just need something small. Not as powerful as I would like but......... I guess I use more for CC than OC. Just wondered what the toughts were on the 380's I know I know just makes em mad.If you shoot good it probably won't matter all that much though.
I like the size. Maybe for more power I should check out the Kahr .40????
I have a PPK/s .380 as well. She's a beautiful gun, and I don't carry her nearly as much as I used to just because I want to keep her in good condition
. I carry it mostly when I conceal on my body (the SW99 .40 doesn't conceal well) and when I'm dressing up (nothin like a Walther in a shoulder rig under your suit).
As far as the caliber, I wouldn't worry one bit. Whether I was shooting a .22 or a .45, I'd unload at least 3 or 4 shots just to make sure the guy is down. Heck, you could probably get 4 .380 shots off faster in a stressful condition anyway, lol.
Carry what you're comfortable with, but in my opinion you've no reason NOT to be comfortable with the .380.
