Not to "knock" anyone BUT....
I never understood ankle holsters. Still dont.
Do you ask someone to wait while you bend over to get your ankle carry weapon?
Do you spend a lot of the time rolling around on the ground?
Are you constantly tying your shoelaces?
A .380 sure beats nothing, but given the choice, there are better calibers.
Dr. Gary Roberts, a true expert in the field of terminal ballistics, says the following about .380s:
BUG's: .380 ACP vs. .38 Sp - M4Carbine.net Forums
Excerpt:
"Handguns chambered in .380 ACP are small, compact, and generally easy to carry. Unfortunately, testing has shown that they offer inadequate performance for self-defense and for law enforcement use whether on duty as a back-up weapon or for off duty carry. The terminal performance of .380 ACP JHP's is often erratic, with inadequate penetration and inconsistent expansion being common problems, while .380 ACP FMJ's offer adequate penetration, but no expansion. All of the .380 ACP JHP loads we have tested, including CorBon, Hornady, Federal, Remington, Speer, and Winchester exhibited inconsistent, unacceptable terminal performance for law enforcement back-up and off duty self-defense use due to inadequate penetration or inadequate expansion."
I had a Colt Mustang Plus II years ago and loved it. The shrunk down 1911 style .380 with 7 shot capacity. Great reliable gun but in todays market they are going for $600-$800 Bucks. The brand name inflates the cost.
I have a Colt Mustang and find it to be nice shooter, as well as easy to carry and conceal. Sig P238 is pretty much a Mustang clone. Some people are not comfortable carrying a single action though.I had a Colt Mustang Plus II years ago and loved it. The shrunk down 1911 style .380 with 7 shot capacity.
