Bird covet them shiny pistols.
Yes. Lucky Gunner videos show that Hornady 380 XTP seems to be the best .380.I still need some convincing on the .380
Are there any good youtube videos regarding ballistics on this cartridge?
For winter heavy clothing I like Buffalo Bore hard cast lead. I'm looking at a box of it as I post this.What about during winter months if a perp has a jacket or heavy clothing on? Penetration issues?
If you're in MA, carrying anything over 10rd, even if it's a pre-ban, is an automatic "go to jail" situation. DA will charge you unless you can produce proof. Unless you have an actual receipt from pre-1994, the proof will require the hiring of a firearms expert who can explain that your mag is indeed pre-ban. Experts like that are $$,$$$. Also, if the gun is not on the approved list, "go to jail" again. With that in mind, a 380 is not your best caliber in MA. Neither is 9mm. 45/40/10 gun should be your EDC.
A .380 in the pocket beats a .45 in the nightstand. A least that's how I justify my pocket lite mustang.The best carry gun is the one you'll carry...
You might want to lay off the sauce for a day or two.Until the Beretta 80X, I had no interest in 380 guns. Now I am itching to get one! Penetration-wise, the differences from 9mm is so small, it's like splitting hairs.
If you can go >10rd for your carry, the modern 380 is a good choice.

Shoulder holster?
Following Bruen, an LE pro I know was given guidance to look the other way on standard capacity magazines - that's not a guarantee, but it's interesting data.
Noting it was like August of last year, and it's probably been updated since then...from what he said at the time, they were expecting further guidance soon, and, yes, also wanted to avoid cases they stood to lose.If widespread they must be worried about court cases they might lose?
>50% of people in the real world also.Most guys in movies just stick it sans holster in their pants at 6 o’clock.
