I know, I'm a faggot for having a PPK. Should I be using

>>32052196
Hot loaded FMJ with a flat nose. Fiocci makes what you want. Also
>has a PPk
>not in 7.65 Browning

>>32052196
FMJ is never a good choice

>>32052217
Thanks m8. Why the emphasis of a flat nose? Just more disruptive?

>>32052218
I've heard that parroted regarding larger pistol calibers regarding self defense, but the opposite seems true regarding small calibers like .380acp and .32acp. Just that the penetration is already so shallow, you don't want to hamper it anymore with expanding/frangible tips.

>>32052250
More punch "stoppin' powah"

Quality HP's for summertime. FMJ for winter. Assuming that's an issue where you live.

>>32052294
I'm in Texas so....probably not

>>32052250
Go shoot yourself in the leg with a .38hp and tell me if there's a penetration problem

>>32052196
i got screwdriver bullets from lehigh for mine

>>32052329

You can probably stick with HP's then since you won't have to worry about penetrating multiple layers of heavy clothing.

Hollow points in .380 and similar calibers often have trouble penetrating and isn't necessarily a good choice for personal defense/CC. There's probably a dozen jewtube vids demonstrating how a single layer of denim can make a huge difference on most .380 hollow point ammo.

>>32052338
The difference could mean killing your assailant vs them still being a threat.

>>32052338
He also said .380acp, not .38 mr. nogunz

>>32052329
If people break out the Carharts during winter where you live, i'd load FMJ

>>32052338
Just because it hurts my leg doesn't mean it'll penetrate far enough on a large nigger. I just want to make sure I'm getting the most kill-per-grain ratio as I can

>>32052525
Sounds like FMJ is the more versatile choice. I'm not worried about over penetration with a .380

>>32052218
sure the hydrostatic shock will tear any mayor vessels making them first burst and then implode any hollow organ.. oh the might of stoppin powah nonesense

>>32052338
most retarded post ever... its like 22 lr is not good sd round, "ill shoot you and you tell me" shit..

1)Location
2)Penetration
3)Size of woundtrack (expansion, caliber, etc)
4)Any extra damage to surroundin tissues IF it happens
5)Psycological factor

Those are in order facts that should prime

What I carry, looks okay to me.

Not him but that does matter you retard.
There's a very viable theory that the reason 357 mag was able to get so many one stop shots has to do with the incredibly loud noise, big flash, and that pure wave of sex you feel through the air.

>>32052196
Speer makes Gold Dot JHPs loaded for short barrels.

>>32052196
In .380, get the tactical screwdrivers, in .32 ACP, get Lehigh Xtreme Cavitators.
