380ACP Talk featuring S&W Bodyguard

[@44Mag]

I have a Glock 19, a P365 and a Walther PDP-F. None of these are carried daily. (I only carry them in the winter, when I can cover them with a jacket. My everyday carry (all 365 days) is an LCP Max in my front right pocket, with 2 spare 10 round mags in my left pocket. Never ever any exception. I am able to put 10 rounds on a 3x5 card in under 5 seconds from the pocket draw at 5 yards. I do not feel under-armed with this at all. If I am going to be in the car, or going out to eat, I will also carry a J-Frame in a horizontal holster at 12 O'clock, so I have very easy access. I use full wad cutter rounds in it, and am able to also put five rounds in the 3x5 card at 5 yards. I think there are only a few rules on carry guns: 1) Select a gun you will commit to carrying every single day of your life. 2) Select a caliber you can shoot very well. 3) Practice until you can put your rounds on a small target (forehead size) at a quick pace, from the draw. If you live by those 3 rules, you will never go wrong. (Yes, even if it is a .22LR) 5 rounds of .22LR in someone's brainpan will be way more effective than a .45 acp round in their shoulder, arm or leg because you could not shoot it accurately at speed.

The PDP is very underated in my oppinion, it don't get near the love it deserve. I also agree that carrying what you can as often as you can, and practicing with it is key. My friend "That Guy" might disagree but there was a reason 25 and 32 were so popular!
