    I cannot understand why anyone would choose to carry this gun. Own one just to have in the collection? Sure. But as a carry or HD gun there are SO many smaller options with comparable capacity. But the real take is "why not just carry a G19"?

    More power to those that want the 25 and 28 for their Glock collection or the ones who can't handle the 9mm variations but still want a centerfire Glock.

    I personally prefer the 17, 19, and 26 myself.

    I’ve owned almost every model of Glock over the years. I’ve moved on from Glocks, but if was to get another one, it would be a 25. It’s tactically superior to the other models, especially when one open carries and wears tactical pants and combat boots. Sometimes “just cuz” is enough.

    It's a different country thing. In some countries it is illegal to have a handgun chambered in a military caliber.

    Had a lady come in a few weeks ago looking for .380 ammo, the sticker shock look on her face was pretty bad.. She saw the 9mm price and was shocked too, just about, not quite, but just about half the price...

    Yeah...I get that. But this is America. Why would anyone want this gun in the US?
    Full-size gun with a capable round that has low recoil. For me it’s an attractive alternative when I’m injured or banged up from the mat/gym. Not sure I want it bad enough though as I love my Security 380. It’s like shooting a 22 on steroids. lol

    Everyone has their own definition of 'capable'. For the most part, JHP .380 ammo expands, but does not penetrate sufficiently. Conversely, FMJ .380 tends to over penetrate. Perhaps JHP works better in a 4+ inch barrel.

    Oh, that's probably just a collector piece or something of the ilk. It's never been widely available in the states so it's probably just an odd factor thing. That or recoil sensitivity and a requirement for higher capacity. I can "imagine" something, but it's a stretch to call my imaginings practical. Different strokes for different folks etc etc.

    I'd actually like to see that, but I would imagine if the bullet expands in a shorter barrel it would head towards disintegrating the more velocity you get. Would be interesting to see a ballistics by the inch post on 380 though.

    @ the corner of IN, KY & OH.
    This isn't a gun that caught my eye either. I would rather see them put a .380 in a gun like the 43X MOS, a 42X MOS if you will. At least then you would have a 10 round mag, a thinner full length grip, and you could add a more capable WML and possibly a red dot. That should satisfy most of the people the .380 is geared toward. I would be very interested in that.
    I would also like to see them expand their .22LR line into the smaller slim frame guns.
