It's only a factor that longer the barrel the more accurate it is ..... WRONG WRONG WRONG !! Pacticing continuously is the only factor of making YOU accurate and better at any distance . Barrels can have the slightest bend and be off , sights could be bent and off , or you maybe a nervous person . Being in control and practice , that's all you need .... other than a gun you can trust to work when used !!

With advancements in ammo technology in the last 5-10 years, 9mm is plenty for taking down two legged varmints.

With the size of some 9mm these days, I think .380 is harder and harder to justify. Just not much difference in size oe weight like before.

How big an ol' boy are ya?

It's my favorite caliber. I need to look for a external/manual safety in a small profile gun.

A .380 will kill like any other gun . A story I read last year where a woman was attacked from behind and she could not turn around because the assailant was holding her from behind . She was able to pull her .380 and raise it up to her shoulders and fired backwards and luckly she hit her assailant and that stopped her attack . But that was pure luck cause she could have missed , and she could be deaf in the ear closest to where the gun was and the assailant might have seen what she was doing and took it away from her . The only thing i'm confirming here is she used a .380 , got lucky and lived to tell about it .

Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. You can get it with or without safety. It's been one of our top sellers for a couple of years now.
