Colt 380 Govt.

[cbtengr]

I purchased a stainless model of the Colt 380 Govt back in 91, bought it for personal defense. At the time I purchased it the most popular automatics at the time seemed to be the high capacity 9 mm's. I have small hands and never felt comfortable with the grip of the 9mm's or even 1911 45, The 380 was the best fit. I have never fired anything other than FMJ rounds through it and am now starting to think about a round with more stopping power. I have been to several shooting forums and opinions on what to use are like..... well you all know. Some say Winchester JHP, others say Federal Hydra Shok also mentioned were CorBon JHP and then others say the FMJ is just fine. I know that there are some very knowledgable shooters out there on this site and I defer to you all's better judgment as to what I should try. In pricing the various types of ammo I have learned that there is a huge difference in cost between the plinking ammo FMJ and the JHP's. In the end I want to have what is going to be most effective for my needs.
