Damn, you're right jlo.
I was confusing the .380 with the .38 which is a different round, and slightly larger than the 9mm.

What an odd round to use for a defensive weapon. The 9mm is a far more common round to find. Like you mentioned, there are a lot more options for the weight of the bullet, unlike the .380 which is actually quite light at 90gr. I'm reloading 357 right now, and the lightest round I have is 158gr. That's a huge difference in weight and stopping power.
