Wow, I thought you took off after the stashing your guns and ammo thread. good to see you are back. Now for your answer. The guns are the same size physcally, go with the 9mm, more power, more ammo options and, waaaay cheaper to feed. That is pretty much all you need to know.

A big 'un...



Ok, enough :hijack:

9mm... for a lot of reasons. Faster round, more energy, more available ammunition, price of said ammunition and availability of same. Wasn't too long ago when if you weren't a reloader, you were out of luck on getting .380.

Depending on how small you wanna go,Kel-Tec makes an itty-bitty .380 you can carry in your pocket.....a 9mm has a little more stopping power,but a .380 has a little less kick to it...just my 2 cents.....I alternate between a Bersa Thunder .380 and a Charter Arms Undercover .38 Special...... I am in the process of getting a .45 for H D........ Happy Shooting.....and,stay safe........ Donzo

I'd pretty much go 9mm for the reasons noted; mostly the fact it's cheaper to feed.

If your looking for a difference between the 9mm C9 anf the .380 CF380 pistols, you really cant go wrong either way. both will do the job, the 9mm gives a better velocity, but the .380 has less recoil. The 9mm round is cheaper to use, but the .380 is still pretty common nowadays too.

Go with what you are more comfortable with. but whichever you choose...Practice!!!

Or.....get one and get a spare barrel in the other caliber. :devilsidesmile: that way you are covered on both ends.
