We really need to have someone who has been shot, under similar dress and other circumstances, with both a .380 acp and a .45 acp discuss their feelings on these two different calibers. It would be helpful if this person has also been shot with a .38 Spec. and .40 S&W but that's probably pushing the envelope.

Until we have a first person report or two, we're kinda' at the mercy of statistical theory and lab results on rats or something.

As ive heard here before, "aint nobody gonna thank me for shootin' him with a .380."

"Welcome to the forum. You may want to reconsider the carry of the P238, as .380 is generally considered "not enough gun". Should you decide to continue its carry, most would appreciate that it not be mentioned on this forum per the TOS.
Once again, welcome"..

Very anti 380 carry

I carry a Taurus PT738 TCP every day during the week. Its just so nice to slip in my pocket after work or during lunch. I can carry at work so putting my G19 holster on is a huge PITA if Im not at home. One the weekends I carry the glock. I do feel that in some situations ive been in, I wished I had my glock on me just for the extra round capacity. Im not saying Ive been in a situation where I have had to pull my gun, but I was glad I had one on me. I will not recommend anyone carry a P238. I have had nothing but problems with mine.
