Grady269 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The new ultra-light 5 shot 38's and a lot of the new 380's Like the Ruger LCP are fairly close in size. Which do you feel is the best for concealed carry and provides more for the size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Personally I would rate a .38 head and shoulders over a .380. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry hunter Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Don't really care for the .380, Its a get the heck off me gun and that about it. The .38 has been around and you can get loads that pack a punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNTINGMAN Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 this is the one i have been looking at getting.http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_203/products_id/56881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have a Taurus 85 and a CZ 83. They are about the same size and weight. The 85 holds 5 rounds of 38 special. The 83 holds 12 rounds of 380. Plus a magazine loads a lot faster than a speed loader. I still can't decide which one I like better. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The chances of needing to reload in a self defence situation are just about zero - .0001%. 38 has a ton more stopping power than a 380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntnfish Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 With size being equal or just about equal I would go with the .38. As others have posted more stopping power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
