Well basically he says it's the brand that's cheap and not a good
gun to use, he seems to like other 380's. Can't remember what brand
it is tho. However he does seem to think that your 9mm isn't great
either. Says it's too fast and would take too many bullets to bring
a man down. Says you can't go wrong with a 45 with hollow points.
LOL Like you said tho it's good for close work. Later...
