50 times a month, or 50 rounds? If you shoot it 50 times I would suspect you of leaning towards Sado-Masochistic behavior. Can I say that?
50 times a month!!! Mike must be that guy who's buying up all the .380 target ammo so that none of the rest of us can shoot!!!

Like some of the others I also think that the .380 is at the low end of the SD weapons choice. Still, it gives 10" to 14" of penitration in balistic jell, enough to get the job done. I own several of the small light weight hand guns, and none of them are really fun to shoot. In .380 caliber I do own two, one is a Jennigns I got in a trade, and the other is a Tuarus PT .380 HC, with a 19 rd. mag. This gun is accurate, and fun to shoot. It now belongs to my wife! I have let several ladies shoot this gun, and all of them loved it. Recoil is low, mag capicity is high. When I carry it I carry it in conditgion 2. First rd. is double action, and the rest are single. I suppose that all small guns will have a greater felt recoil than any of the larger guns in that same caliber.
Welcome Carver. May I be the first on this board - and certainly not the last - to say a sincere thank you for your service to our country.

Wish I'd found this thread before I bought my MDE. I took it out today for the first time and put the first 3 clips through it. I doubt if I'll ever shoot more than 1 clip every month or so. It is so not fun. I suppose it will serve it's purpose and it's purpose ain't for fun, is it?

Amen to that. Looks like you had the same results as I did...it pretty much shoots where you aim it, and that ain't a bad thing.
