[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1365311, member: 100"] So, it's not a question of home defense, where concealment means nothing and it's best to keep the largest caliber or most effective firearm appropriate for the envionment (a bolt gun in 340 Weatherby would be a bad choice for an apartment). It IS a question of the best choice of ammo for probably the most concealable yet practical handgun any of us can carry, such as the Kel Tec P3AT, Ruger LCP, etc... Smaller than a J frame revolver and capable of fitting into a wallet sized/ shaped pocket holster, the little 380s are truely "the gun you carry when you can't carry a gun". Like summertime in shorts/ t shirt. In my perfect imaginary world, I'd like a FMJ profile, yet expanding 95gr bullet that makes 1000FPS out of the short P3AT barrel. Haven't found or loaded them yet, but honestly I haven't looked at the commercial offerings in the last year? For now, I'm staying with my GD 95gr JHPs. They function well. [/QUOTE]
