I'll be discussing the differences between Ruger LCP and ACP. These are some of the most used handgun cartridges for law enforcement. You can ask me any questions or for more information. Your opinion is welcome in the comments. You can also see our comparison chart for additional information.
380 ACP
38 Special vs.380 ACP: Are you thinking of buying a handgun for self defence? The rounds are identical in many ways but have some significant differences. Both rounds have different advantages and disadvantages, but the main difference is the round's size. A 38 Special bullet is considerably smaller and more powerful than a 38 ACP bullet, but they both work well.
Although the 380 cartridge is cheaper than 9mm, it costs more for ammunition. Although it is more expensive than 9mm, many budget guns are less than $200. It is easier to produce and therefore costs less per round. This is a benefit for the 380 cartridge. However, the 9mm caliber has a wider appeal and is a better choice if you aren't sure which one to choose.
Special: 380
There are two key differences between a 380 Special revolver versus a 38 Special revolver. The case sizes of the 38 Special revolver and the 380 Special revolver are slightly different. However, the bullets remain the same size. The carrying capacity of the revolver is what determines the cartridge capacity. 38 Special revolvers are capable of holding six rounds. 380 revolvers, on the other hand, can hold between six and twelve rounds. The Bersa Thunder Plus 380 can hold up to 15 rounds. Both revolvers have a long history, dating back to 1897.
A cartridge's ability to produce energy is dependent on its size and speed. At 1,240 feet per second, a 115 grain 380 Special bullet can produce 395 foot pounds energy. A 9x19mm Parabellum bullet, which is only 118g, will fire a bullet much faster. In this situation, the 38 Special would have slightly more energy.
.38 Auto
When comparing a pistol's performance, a 380 vs 38 Auto comparison is necessary for a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the two cartridges. Unlike the 38 Auto, the 380 ACP uses a bullet that is 85 to 95 grains in weight. These bullets have an MV of around 1000 fps and about 189 foot-pounds of energy at muzzle. A 380 ACP may be inferior to a 38 Special bullet on paper, but it has significant improvements. A 380 ACP's ammunition can expand up to 1.4% in diameter and penetrate through up to 10 inches worth of ordnance gelatin. Federal also offers the 99-grain HydraShok Deep Load, which meets FBI penetration depth standards for 12 inches. These new loads have been specifically designed for this caliber bullet.
Comparable to the 380 Auto the 9mm Luger offers more power. Because of its larger 9x19mm cartridge, it has more room for powder. On the other hand, the 380 caliber has greater finesse and short-range accuracy. While 380 auto and 9mm have very little in common, both calibers are widely used in self-defense. This comparison between 38 Auto and 380 Cal will give you a better idea of which gun suits your needs.
Ruger LCP
In 2008, the Ruger LCP was launched. It is very similar to the Kel-Tec P3AT pistol. Rick Perry famously shot a coyote using the LCP to stop it attacking his daughter. The LCP is a great handgun that can be used in many situations, including defense at home. Its reliability and overall accuracy are outstanding. The recoil however is quite strong. The trigger is very easy to operate, but Ruger LCP requires a good grip and alignment of the sight.
Both cartridges have similar dimensions and weights, but the firing mechanism and cartridges of each cartridge differ. The 38 Special has a bigger chamber, but the 380 has more rounds in its magazine. The 38 Special has a single-stack magazine, which can hold seven rounds. The decision is up to you: do you prefer to handle a revolver?

How To
How to select the Best Deer Rifle
Many factors influence the choice of the right firearm, including your hunting style, budget, terrain, weather conditions and other considerations. The most important aspect is the type and species of game you are hunting. A scope is essential if you are going to hunt whitetail deer. You could use a bolt action rifle if you do not want to carry a gun case, or you could go for a semi automatic rifle. There are many choices when it comes to rifles. A lever-action rifle is preferred by some while others prefer a piston action. It's up to you to decide which one to buy. You should be aware of these things before purchasing a specific model.
First, determine what kind of game your goal is to hunt. Are you hunting small game like squirrels? Or large animals like deer. You may want to buy a different type depending on the size of your animal to hunt. For example, if you are planning to hunt deer, then you should look at a.308 caliber rifle. This will allow you to hunt larger animals than those who hunt with a.223 caliber rifle. You should also consider the price when purchasing a rifle. A quality rifle will run you less than a cheaper one. Be sure to check that the rifle matches the ammunition you plan on using. Also, ensure that the barrel is long enough to hit the target far away.
You should also consider the terrain you plan to hunt. Are you going to hunt in open fields or dense forests? A long-range rifle is best if you plan to hunt in open fields. A short-range rifle is better if you plan to hunt in close proximity to trees. Make sure that you have adequate knowledge regarding the type of terrain you intend to hunt.
Last but not least, you should always check the condition of the rifle before purchasing it. Make sure that the rifle is well maintained. Verify that the trigger is working properly. Inspect the trigger for signs or corrosion. The rifle's finish and stock should be inspected. To verify that the rifle shoots accurately, you should test-fire it. These are all steps that will help you decide if the rifle suits you.
