I'm guessing that seeing it as 'discontinued' on a dealer website might mean that the dealer isn't going to carry it anymore in this case. My range doesn't have a rental, but I would really like to try one. I'm not really a .380 guy, but I would like to try the S&W Bodyguard and the Micro Eagle. I've been eyeballing the specs on the .380 Hydra-Shok on various test sights, and that one round might get me into one.
Also, keep in mind that I have been fighting my Father's very European .32acp is as large as you need to defend yourself theory my entire life. So, I have always (since 21) had a 9mm as barely above the acceptable line for stopping power. However bullet tech has improved a lot of things (including the .32), so going to a .380 seems like a given at some point.
