Because of medical problems there are some days a .380 is all I can carry.
At one time all I would carry was a .45 in 1911. Then as the body begin to change I had to determine if I not going to carry and be a likely victim or was I going to carry something and be able to protect me and my family.
I absolutely pay NO attention to those who believe they are "ballistic experts". It is true that something is better than nothing. The ammo is much better than yesterdays and if you can pick up the right ammo a .380 can be sufficient.
