Lots of fun! Keeps the flies away from the grillI am taking the Ruger, because I stock no 380.
But I am thinking of getting one of these:

I have four .380's for C/C. My LCP II with a Lasetmax Gripsense is in my humble opinion the best of the bunch. You pull trigger<> It goes BANG ... EVERY SINGLE TIME for 2 1/2 years and NEVER a misfire or failure to eject. Gotta LOVE that. ( G42, 911, P-238 are the others. OH and almost forgot my tineeee weenie Seecamp .380)I have owned *essentially* both guns: the Colt .380 government model, and the Ruger LC9S. I now carry the latter, and I sold off the former. I actually liked the .380 a lot, especially the thinness which helps for IWB carry. The one thing that annoyed me about it was that multiple times I would pull it from my holster and the magazine would drop. Of course I could have shaved the mag release so it didn't stick out so far, but for some reason I got disgusted and sold it.
I wish the Ruger had an extra half-inch of barrel, or polygonal rifling. I like a little more velocity to ensure bullet expansion. But hey, no gun is perfect. The Ruger has an excellent trigger and does a great job of putting rounds on the target. And it's 9mm, which helps. It ain't pretty, though.
If you want a gun you like, get the .380. If you want a gun that works, get the Ruger.
The Colt Government 380 is MUCH smaller than the Brownibg 1911-380.I have owned *essentially* both guns: the Colt .380 government model, and the Ruger LC9S.
