      I carried a Sig P230 for several years as a backup on duty and occasionally off duty. Stoked it with Federal Hydra Shock. Were I carrying it now I'd probably run a more modern round, but the Federals performed very well in it.

        My agency does not allow 380 Auto. We can only carry 38 Special, 9mm Luger and 45 Auto caliber firearms that you are trained with. I carry P226 or S&W model 342 off duty.

          LAPD just authorized the Ruger LCP and S&W bodyguard .380. Were still waiting for the revised S&W without the slide safety before we can carry it. Only authorized ammo is the Hornady .380. I carry a Glock 36 off duty, might carry the S&W if I'm going to the beach or something.

            I carry an LCP as a back up on duty and sometimes carry it off duty.

              Carried this for years. Sig Sauer P230SL, could only carry issued ammo in it. Now I carry a small 9mm with issued duty ammo.

                    Sig P238 but like hitman, only when I need something really small. Usually I carry a Glock 36 or or a Colt Officer's when I don't care about weight.

                    I've got JHPs in all my weapons can't remember what I have in the .380 but I'm pretty sure they are Gold Dot or Golden Sabers.

                      Carried .380's off and on over the years. In the 70's -80's a Walther PPKs with whatever hollow points were available until Hydra shocks hit the market.
                      More recently a LCP with Hornady Critical Defense. But mostly just carry the LCP when I need a small light pocket gun. Primary carry gun is a Kahr CW9, or Glock 26.

                          Thanks for the response. I just brought a NAA Guardian .380 so I was curious what you all have loaded. I been carrying my G27 for years. I've heard that FMJ is the way to go cause the HPs will not penetrate or expand enough?

                            I'm not a LEO, I'm a retired paramedic. I love the Kahr 9 mms for CCW in CA. I found it interesting that some still use .380 when there are now super slim and short 9mm's being built like the Kahr products.

                              Ruger LCP when the weather starts warming up.
                              Glock 27 the rest of the time.
