I carry Glock 43X most always 90% of timelining to a Bersa 380 single stack, fixed barrel for accuracy, decent sights and in my case surgery's prevent me from carry on waist but with a lighter pistol.They are accurate little buggers and is better than a cane or stick.

If someone accosts you and has a knife and you pull out a .380 from your pocket/holster/whatever, do you think they will just think "Oh, it's just a .380" NO - they're going to go "OH SHIT they have a gun, I'm outta here". If they have a gun, then that .380 might just buy you some maneuvering room/time to get out of there or to get to your bigger defense caliber.

Re: .380 I don’t like it, however…
I do recall a story from a few years ago where a guy was being harassed by a group of bikers and they weren*t small dudes and another guy used a Ruger LCP to fend them off and never had to pull the trigger. Point is something is better than nothing and everyone*s preferences are different. I myself will not stand in front of a 380 and absolutely will carry one for self defense. But if given the choice between my LCP or my G26 or any other larger better more suitable choices I*ll choose bigger and better each and every time. But I think someone here said it the 380 in the pocket trumps the 45 at home

380 gets my vote for the best pocket carry. Know the pros and cons of your weapon.

A lot of those Youtubers, and many people in general, have caught a case of magnumitus. ...everything has to be powerful.
Yet fail to realize that .22RF, .25ACP, .32ACP, .380ACP, etc have killed people graveyard dead for well over 100yrs. ...and people wear the same basic clothing today as they did then, and if anything - people probably wear clothing less bullet resistant today(less leather).
Same people pick .300Win/Wby, .338Win, or larger for fucking whitetail at 200yrs or less. ...as if deer have evolved kevlar in the time period between blackpowder and today.
I've been selecting the "Do not recommend channel" at Youtube for a bunch of these asshat tubers lately. Same with a bunch of the "the sky is falling" type gun news people that use the same buzz word headlines and yet either clickbait or don't give full info.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag

Personally I .380 and I think I'd like to have a full sized semi-auto and a K frame revolver in that caliber.
