I have a Sig P 230 SL that is reserved for more formal carry; e.g., weddings, funerals, Bar Mitzvas, etc. So far, it eats everything I've fed it including my reloads.
Granted, its cartridges are not as 'studly' as my 1911 cartridges but I've never had, nor have I heard of, anyone anywhere volunteering to stand in front of it and prove how inadequate it is.
Did I mention how pretty my Sig P 230 SL is the last time the .380 acp debate took place on this forum? If not, it is truly a little silver beauty!

Re: .380 Underpowered for self defense?
If two guys wearing white shirts and ties get off their bicycles and approach you and your wife in the grocery store parking lot, shoot first; with your .380 acp, and ask questions later.
