Snowy day, so I’m drinking tea and watching videos on youtube. Saw this one and it got my gun geek smiling.
I really dig bonded ammo, and that expansion is quite vigorous. I hate .380 auto mostly because its weak, expensive, and for most .380 guns out there there’s a 9x19mm gun of the same size and weight available, and those micro-sized .380s that are around, they aren’t really any MORE concealable than a J-Frame revolver, but they’re a total bitch to shoot with that 1-finger grip.
Compare with this video
I’d rather have a 9×19 by my side, but if I had to have a .380, that bonded winchester is not too shabby!
Of course I talk about power levels, and I can talk about the bonded +P .45 ammo I carry most days, but it IS all marketing when you use good ammo…
*neat*
since i own a .380 (and would carry it if Maryland allowed me to do such things), i particularly appreciate these videos. thanks for sharing…and now to find that bonded Winchester!
Certainly should add a bit of confidence to your carry load.
Sadly they don’t have a calibrated penetration to see how deep that little bastard goes before he totally puts the brakes on.
hey, that video’s better than nothin’. i’ll take what info i can get, you know?
That expansion is insane. Just think, if you only wound someone in the shoulder during a self-defense situation, that mofo’s not coming out without making the wound 3x-5x bigger. I call that a win.
Yeah it opened right the fuck up. Certainly will dump all its energy if everything performs as such terminally.
