The .380 ACP (also known as 9mm Short) is a compact, low-recoil cartridge ideal for pocket pistols and subcompact carry guns. While less powerful than 9mm, modern defensive ammunition has significantly improved its effectiveness, making it a popular choice for deep concealment and backup carry.
Primary uses: concealed carry, backup carry, personal defense.
