I buy 380 fmj/FP all the time for 30 cents a round from Freedom Munitions and jhp with Hornady XTP bullet for 41 cents a round.1. .380 rounds have become very expensive. 40 cents per round and up. I can get 9mm for 25 to 28 cents a round. I can afford to practice at the range more with 9mm than I can with .380. And practice is crucial.
2. The idea with a defensive round, as I understand it, is shooter accuracy with adequate penetration and expansion. I can get accuracy with a .380 but have to choose between penetration or expansion. Don't have to make the choice with 9mm.
The upshot here is that I love the .380, but practicality compels me to carry a 9mm.
I had one and am really sorry I sold it, it was a really good shooter in every respect but I wanted something lighter and am now sorry I didn't keep, it.

I have a Kahr P380 and the Freedom Munitions will not feed in my gun. Precision One works well in the P380.Kokapelli,
Thanks for the tip on Freedom Munitions! I'll check 'em out.
