What’s the defense ammo for S&W 380?

You don't have a choke on that gun you have.

Yeah, but what is it?

My FN SLP was an improved cylinder choke only. I need be careful when I am firing slugs like Brenneke KO or 3" Black Magic.

I'm not positive but I believe the gun you got has a standard MODIFIED BARREL.

mine?

mine?

If you look on the barrel it will say 2 3/4 or 3 inch .
But I don't remember if it had any other markings.
Like IC or Mod or Full .
It's probably like he said just a basic cylinder bore. If it doesn't have the other markings.

It's a cylinder bore

It says exactly as you say here.

Do as you will, you'll never catch me using bird shot for defensive purposes.

Lehigh Defense gets my vote
Addendum: Though works in my extant Remington 51 some Autos wont feed it reliably dure to the shape.

A head shot will stop anyone not wearing thick glasses using bird shot.

A friend took his son out on a youth pheasant hunt. Another youth was too busy following the bird to notice that my friend and son were in the path of his shot. The son lost his sight in one eye.

Get hopped up on meth before you go into someone's house.
He probably had a heavy jacket on.
But still that's ugly.

I saw an X-ray of a guy that got shot in the head with it, the BBs did not penetrate but deflected around the skull and stop under the skin, probably wouldn't take much to "lift his hair" but it would stop someone bent on lifting yours, again, do as you will.

Not sayin' it ain't ugly, but he looks like he's still standing.
Hence, that's why I won't put bird shot in my Remington 870 for home defense...

Probably steal shot lol duck hunters have been complaining about steal shot for years.
More wounded birds than dead ones.

Flagrant violation of Rule #4, right there...

Not me, it is one of the many photos floating around the net in forums on "Why you should not use bird shot for defense"

 

[EPS]

So here is a video if you watch it all the way through.
The bad guy shoots cop almost point blank with 20 ga and cop returns fire with handgun.
Both lived the cop shot in shoulder and the bad guy sucks up 8 rounds for 9mm or 40 cal.
They don't say
