Okay, I have a Seecamp .32 and love the size/gun all around. I don't even want to get into the discussion about "you can carry a larger gun & better caliber". I agree its much better to have 9mm or .38+P, I don't debate that at all, but for me to carry all the time, its gotta be real small.
Now I considered trading up my .32 Seecamp for a .380 model (I know its expensive $750), but it seems from what I have read the .32 and .380 performance is very similar. Comparing energy, penetration, & expansion. Opinions on .32/.380 comparison?
I have talked to Larry Seecamp and he said you can try other ammo, and I have shot Cor Bon flawlessly, along with Silver Tip, and Gold Dot. Looking on the Golden Loki website gel tests it looks like the Fiocchi, Hornady, and Hydra Shoks penetrate better though. I still can't shoot FMJ (too large, even if I could risk of rim lock goes up), so am I splitting hairs, or would you suggest I use something that penetrates better or stick with the Cor Bons?
I won't buy a Kel-Tec (no offense, just don't like plastic), the Guardian .380 would be great except its way too heavy and the Rohrbaugh is really costly, and is still larger than KT's, Seecamp, and NAA.
All opinions, personal experiences, & any info on data resources is greatly appreciated!
