Yeah - got to agree with greener. If I only bought guns I needed, I would only have 3. I think I've got at least twice that, so I guess I bought some I didn't need.

.380-Auto?
Two summers ago, the wife and I went through several of those .380-auto caliber handguns, while she was learning how to shoot a pistol and carry one on the streets etc.
Trust me we had the low end and the high end of pistols trying this caliber at the gun range. The Kel-Tech's, P-11 & P-9 models, not to mention the Sig Sauer brand of pistols too. Those Kel-Techs were JAM A Matic's!!! By the way I purchased 4 of those critters and sent them all down the road some 200 rounds later. Testing into soaking wet newspaper proved that the little .380-auto needed steroids in order to compete with the 9mm Luger. The penetration with "self-defense" ammo (several brands by the way) showed the 9mm Luger penetrating almost twice as deep as the little .380-auto. This caliber is strickly an up close in your face type of a caliber! The "get the guy off my back" type of a situation. Also the energy factor between the 9mm Luger and the .380-auto was 190-lbs and the 9mm Luger was 483-lbs. Just food for thought gentlemen. Me personally, I will stay with my Glock 10mm and Glock 45 acp and that is my story.

I can't argue with your logic Tracer. It's still nice to have one at times though. Sometimes my little P238 comes in handy when what I'm wearing and where I'm going doesn't leave much choice. It's certainly not my choice for everyday carry.
