Fine. Fine.
I went back to all Ranger T's in the mag, a spare with Ranger T's, and another with all FMJ.
I stagger my shotguns. Didn't think it'd make such a rukus over the .380. I don't doubt that a .380 ACP is good defense for my EDC.
I work at home, and I don't go to malls. I don't go to crack neighborhoods to buy meth or dope from anyone. I don't use dope.
I don't like 9mm in small frames. I cannot shoot them well. I can shoot full size 9mm like my XD9 just fine, but cannot carry it. I do carry a J-Frame .32 H&R Magnum, but I have been carrying S&W Long in it as they shoot way more accurately than the 100 grain XTPs that I have in 32 H&R Magnum. I'll take being able to hit my target by shooting a lessor round than hoping I do with a more powerful round.
I don't know why the 100 grain XTPs do not shoot well. The last batch did, but this batch does not. I bought them from the same manufacturer. Must be a component change on their part.
I love my .380 ACP. Great shooter, easy to conceal, has a 3.5" barrel, and very accurate. I am not at all questioning the purchase of the .380 ACP. It might have came across this way, but I didn't mean to make it a debate of the .380 ACP. I just know that skin and bone are way more elastic and tough than blue jeans and jello.
Needles to say. I will take the groups advice. I do respect Walkalong's and rcmodel's opinion. They have never lead me wrong on the board. They have helped me work out some issues with guns, and with handloading.
Back to single stacked mags with like ammo, and a mag of FMJ for that rare, rare, and hopefully never day that I get trapped in a situation that needs it.
