.380 acp
The .380 ACP (9x17mm) (Automatic Colt Pistol) is a rimless, straight-walled pistol cartridge developed by firearms designer John Moses Browning. The cartridge headspaces on the mouth of the case. It was introduced in 1908 by Colt, for use in its new Colt Model 1908 pocket hammerless semi-automatic, and has been a popular self-defense cartridge ever since, seeing wide use in numerous handguns (typically smaller weapons). Other names for .380 ACP include .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, 9×17mm and 9 mm Browning Court (which is the C.I.P. designation). It should not to be confused with .38 ACP, from which it was developed.

So, this past year, me and my beloved upgraded our pocket carry pieces from a .32 ACP to a .380 ACP: mine from a Keltec P32 to a Walther PPK/S and hers from a Beretta 3032 to a Ruger LCP Ⅱ. (Though we kept the two little .32s for now.)
For practice, we have mainly stuck to ball ammunition...
Love the look & feel of this gun. Very rare to find anymore. Shoots well & is easy to conceal. I’m looking to get $250 for it. Buyer pays backround & transfer fees. I will drive to meet you if needed. Also I will most likely be in Salem at some point tomorrow if that would be a good meeting...
I’m selling my Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard .380. It has been a great little gun. Very accurate. The laser works and is spot on. This is currently my wife’s concealed carry, but she feels she is ready to move to a 9mm. And that’s the only reason I’m selling it.
It comes with 120 rounds, and a...
I am about at the comfort level with the Walther PPK/S (in .380 ACP / 9㎜ Kurz) as an everyday carry gun. During the fall and winter months, I normally wear attire that would be conducive to shoulder holster carry (e.g., suit jacket, sports jacket, light coat, et al.). So I am interested in a...
I happened upon this one recently and thought I would inquire. There is a line from the Argentine company Bersa called the Thunder Plus. To my eyes it looks like a PPK-style pistol with a double-stack, 15-round magazine.
Has anyone owned or shot one of these? How did you like it? Thanks.

How about a thread devoted to those little pistolas that many a lady and gent pack with them everyday. You know, little pocket autos, wheelguns, derringers, etc., in .22LR, .22 WMR .25 ACP, .32 ACP, .380 ACP, et al.
