.380 Federal HST Disappointing Test

[rowdy115]

I sold my one and only .380 about two months ago. Just made a personal decision that 9mm was my minimum caliber for carry. However, when I carried a .380, I carried Hornady Custom XTP in it. I carry Federal HST in my 9mm and larger calibers.

Years ago I wouldn't even consider carrying a 9mm.
But times, and ammo, have changed.
Today I'm carrying 9mm HST 147 in my HK P30SK.

Said I'd never ever own/carry a .380.
It's usually a mistake to say never.
At close range I can rapid fire my Makarov like a machinegun and hit with spooky accuracy.
Point shooting is effortless.
Nine rounds in the chest has got to leave a mark.
Underwood Makarov 9mm 95 gr +P makes more energy.
And performs better in heavy clothing gelatin tests.
Than my .38 snubbie.

So I stand corrected again - LOL!
