You can tell Tim is stating facts and being honest when he actually sells a product he doesn’t recommend but manufactures it because people think they need it. True professor here and great amount of knowledge being shared!!!

Good information. I appreciate that Tim doesn't just say, "Don't carry a .380, it sucks!", like some people I've come across. Instead, he tells you the pros and cons while offering recommendations.

I had a little bersa 380 25yrs ago. Had a fixed barrel in it. Was very accurate. Wish I had never sold it. It was nice.

Thank you for taking the time to describe the 380 caliber ammunition. There is a wealth of practical knowledge here.

Out of a Glock 42, I was able to smash through SEVEN water jugs using Buffalo Bore hard cast! Some of these things don't have to be pushed terribly fast it appears. Fantastic product!

The .380 ACP (aka .380 Auto, 9×17mm Browning Short) was designed by John Moses Browning and introduced in 1908.

I’ll tell you why I just subscribed. You said people shouldn’t use a product you sell. I loved the honesty that you only make it because people keep wanting it but you are telling us in this video to basically not buy and use it.

Why carry a tiny little 380? Ask the soldier that used it to save his life.

The idea of expanding bullit is to transfer all energy into the "target" there is not enough energy to stop in all most all hand gun caliber, one must hit something important. Expanding bullets reduce penetration. A 380 does not need to reduce penatration.
