Guys, guys, guys...
There are KelTec folks, there are Ruger folks, there are Sig folks, there are Tauri folks, there are Seecamp folks, there are MicroDesertEagle folks, there are Smith & Wesson folks, there are Kahr folks, and there are even Rohrbaugh folks, there are probably even OTHER brands of 380's hitting the market (seemingly on a daily basis) I haven't even heard about yet, all who love and cherish their own brand and often have nothing but negatives to say about the other brands, whether they have actually fired that brands 380cal. pistol or not.
I'm old, and my take on the whole shebang is that I'm just glad there are so many offerings on the market in a small and concealable pistol of 380 caliber.
Heck my first cc pistol was a 25cal Galesi, bought new in Dublin, Ga in the summer of 1966 for $35.00.. Not sure if that price included sales tax or not.
My thinking is that just as we all like to drive different vehicles, (altho my favorite brands are running kinda thin these days, thanks to the demise of Oldsmobile and Pontiac) we like different things in a firearm also.
I believe if WHATEVER brand of pistol/revolver you have that WORKS for you, is the perfect pistol for you..
I have Seecamps, I have LCP's.. Love 'em all...
But I have absolutely no heartburn knowing a majority of you would chose another brand when you went gun shopping.
We are all "gun nuts", (or at least considered "gun nut's" by the anti's) so lets just agree to disagree, pleasantly, and quit the bickering.
I say buy what'chu want, and carry whut'chu bought.. Practice is always a good thing, and imo (my humble opinion) IF a quality laser is made for the sucker, consider it..
No offense to anyone, altho if you were offended by my comments, I don't care. I'm old, have short term memory loss, and while I worry about my enlarged prostate, I don't worry about who likes or dislikes a particular response I might make on a darn gun forum.
Best Wishes,

P.S. I will say I think we need more folks producing AMMO for our mouseguns than more mousegun manufacturers.. 380 is still kinda hard to find in my little redneck part of the woods.

There is no SAAMI spec for .380+p, so no .380 can actually be +p "rated"
That said, I've run all kinds of +p **** through my LCP without issue.7.62mm.ak47

Have you tried out Para's new PCP lol? I hear it makes you feel pretty confident.

+P is merely a marketing term in .380, it is not a technical term. Your .380 will fire any .380 ammo on the market that falls within SAAMI guidelines for .380 ACP.
I shoot "+P" rounds out of my LCP on occasion, and carry it with Corbon DPX+P, it shoots them just fine.

That is what I thought.
I seriously doubt a few buffalo bore are gonna hurt anything; however, probably not a good idea to use as range ammo either. Kinda like drinking raw deer blood from a goblet, or pirating a merchant vessel on the high seas... it is great fun and and all, but I don't do it every day.
I carry Buffalo Bore in my Micro Eagle but when I run out I'm not going to get anymore because I've decided to use fmj as my 380 carry ammo and most fmj 380 ammo will give plenty of penetration.
BB has noticeably more felt recoil which means more battering in these tiny guns and unless stronger recoil springs are available for your specific gun continued use of these higher pressure rounds is going to take it's toll on your gun and your wallet.
