Ive been reading alot of "If you can handle 380, get a 9--380 isnt enough ....blah blah blah"
I carry a Bersa thunder 380 daily, and feel very confident it will stop the BG. I would bet my life on it, or those I care for.
Now let me explain why, before the thousands of responses come flooding in....lol
IF, in a worst case scenario, a BG (lets say 6'5", 320lbs) is an imminent threat to my life, and I have to use my 380 to stop that threat, the 3 rounds I can put center mass in about 1 second, should at the very least make him take notice.....now I have 5 rounds left, and when they hit him in the face, Im sure the threat will stop. I really believe this. oh yeah, the other 7 rounds in my spare mag should help too if need be
Also, I carry this 90% of the time because I like the gun. Im accurate with it, its comfortable to carry, and I have faith in its reliability. I have an XD9 I carry on occasion, and a 1911 as well. For years I caried a P239 in .357 sig.
Now however, the price of the bersa, and my faith in my ability in it and myself make it more than enough power to stop the BG.
That being said, I will be the first to admit 9mm, 357 sig, 357 mag, 40 S&W, 45 acp, and a few others are more powerful.....but again, my bersa is PLENTY of gun.
As for the tests of the bullet not penetrating animal skulls, again, if your hit in the face with a 380 4 or 5 times, something tells me your gonna want to stop playing now and call times out---lol.
GREATEST FORUM ON THE WEB BTW
thats my 2 cents worth, thanks all
