Gotcha. I wish Fed made the HST in 380 but, they don't.

There is always the hype of HP ammo for .380's, but it just doesn't dig deep enough, that's why the cast rounds. But make sure what you carry cycles cause .380's can be extra finicky. I know people with Glock 42's who swear if you don't use a heavy .380 it won't cycle correctly.

Yeah I hear ya. The .380 is not my favorite at all but, I tried to stuff several single stack 9s in my pocket at the lgs and it just wasn't working for me. I will cycle plenty of rounds out of this guy before any carry duty is performed. Hopefully, I will never have to find out if my ammo choice was the correct one.

Light shorts/cargo or swim trunks will be the home for this thing. Otherwise the. 45 will be riding hip side.
