Only if you look at it that way.

To paraphrase what others have said, you should carry the largest caliber you can operate well, shoot accurately, conceal readily. Sometimes a .380 is the largest you can conceal, depending on what you're wearing. In that case, carry the .380. With a different outfit, you may be able to conceal something larger. If so, carry that one, if you are comfortable with it.
I agree with that...I do have my LCP like i mentioned above, summer wear.I am not as slim around the waste line as i used to be.
When wearing a jacket i carry a Glock 33 in .357 Sig.

Re: .380 Underpowered for self defense?

I carry a Ruger LCP under shirt IWB during warm weather and bought this ammo. As some JHP can be finnicky.
Designed for finicky-feeding pistols, Pow'RBall is a great choice for all of your semi-auto pistols or revolvers.
- Reliable feeding.
- Consistent, reliable expansion.
- Deeper soft tissue penetration.
- Quicker recovery for follow-up shots.
- Reduced Recoil.
- High Velocity.

Caliber: 380 Auto.
Bullet Wt.: 70gr Pow'RBall.
Velocity: 1100fps.
Energy:188ftlbs.
Test Barrel Length: 3.0 Inches.
20 rounds per box.
