As I'm sure you all know, bud's gun shop is advertising rock bottom prices right now for the S&W Shield and Bodyguard (about $250 for either one).
based on ballistics tests and youtube reviews, it seems that .380 is just as capable as 9mm in 15 yards or less terrirtory
Although the gut instinct is to get the larger caliber (same price); I tend to wear fitted clothes (slacks, dress shirts, suit jackets on an average weekday and chinos and a polo on the weekends, etc.).
I'm on the manlet side, so I kind of think .380 is a good choice, but the shield has an unparalleled position as the king of the single stacks right now...
What's /k/'s take on these two caliber offerings from S&W?

.380 has come a long way. There's ammo out there that performs well. There's just more 9mm.

Here's good advice; don't bother dicking around with handgun caliber ballistics, all handgun calibers are already terrible at killing people. Use the caliber that you can shoot the most effectively, the most accurately, that fits in a gun that's the most comfortable for you to shoot and carry, and whose ammo is an economic choice for you. Spread the word.

A .380 will kill a man just fine. Anyone who disagrees I invite them to let me shoot them with one.
It's what I cc. Mine is much more expensive, but ballistically the same.

I'd go with the shield, but thats just because I already have a large amount of defensive 9mm ready to use.
Those ~$250 shields are really tempting me, but I really don't need one and shouldn't be spending any more money. I've got an LC9s already and would probably be better off just buying another if I were to get another subcompact pistol.

I have those same sights on my Sig 2022, and still can't decide if I like them or not

I bought it in California. I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. I didn't ask to live in a shitty State.

OP here
so in terms of printing on a scale of 0-10, 10 being its obvious youre carrying and gun and 0 being "im carrying a gun?"
can anyone rate the bodyguard and the shield?
>>
>>33546087
It's useful insight into making an effective choice in armament.
That's not to say a vehicle is a more effective weapon based on the stats.

Kahr is run by the son of Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the Unification Church. Bunch of strange folk. Not bad handguns though.
