I agree fully. I most commonly carry a P32 in my pocket these days.

That only changes when I go out with my family and my ability to run disappears.

Then I carry the larger 9mm, not necessarily because it’s 9mm but because I get 15 rounds, a red dot, and a gun that’s much easier to shoot accurately.

Having shot the Ruger LCP 2 in 380. I’m starting to understand why 25ACP, 32ACP, and 22lr were so popular. Over 30 years ago.

The 380 cartridge is not pleasant to shoot at all in a pocket gun.

I have taken
Firearms instructor Chuck Haggard’s “pocket rocket” class.

You go to “war”, what you have on you. Accuracy is everything and caliber means nothing.

Police officers have been shot with a 9mm handgun 4, 5 and 6 times. And they live to talk about it, and some of them even still arrested their attackers. Still bleeding with no bandages or tourniquet.

I carried a beretta 21a in 22LR for several years while in college. And I had several reload magazines on me as well.

Btw
Thanks for the review. You confirmed my belief about the 380 cartridge and a small gun.
