Go .380 cheaper ammo and parts. If you're expecting body armor go 9mm w/ hydrashoks or better powder grain. Fore real though the gun that is easy and cheap to take to the range will get used more and .380 is a decent self defense round.
>Go .380 cheaper ammo
.....wut? Where do you live that 380 is cheaper than 9mm?
> If you're expecting body armor go 9mm w/ hydroshocks
Hydroshock rounds are hollow points, which distribute the force on impact, so they're actually better at non-armored opponents, but it doesn't really matter as type 3a is pretty common and can take any standard 9mm defensive round.
I am glad you agree that 380 is good for self defense. There are some caliber snobs out there who think if you have something smaller than a 300 winmag, it will bounce off of an opponent.
Note, the guy with name of a famous sniper tells you horse shit about ammo. Doh!
I was referring to the powdergrain of hydrashok. Many armor pen rounds are illegal in many places(Muh cop killer bullets spooky). Hydrashok will definitely punch through a windshield, .380 almost certainly will but might ricochet
Yeah fuck that noise (muh cop killer bullets) especially considering any normal hunting caliber rifle will punch right through soft armor.
