hi abhijet,was wondering if you would guide me to the place was the 380 was selling at 150 a pop.and would also like to request winnie the pooh to please elaborate where is 380 selling at a lower cost than imported 32. i own 380 and a gun dealer said that in coming times there would be a great shortage of .380 cartridges, i dont know how they are landing in india in the first place so would like the gurus to allay my fears

That is about the funniest thing I have read in a long long time.It is like comparing a .22lr to a 30-06.

Priyan,

The .455 is a proven man stopper.In fact it was once loaded with a bullet of that name.A 265 grain bullet at 757 ft/sec will produce 337 ft.lbs of energy.

A .32S&W Long with a 90 grain bullet at 765 ft.sec will produce 117 ft.lbs of energy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.32_S%26W_Long

You work out what will stop a man faster.Do not forget the calibre difference as well.

For those trying to decide which caliber is best for them, this young lad has taken a lot of those loads readily available and shot them into one gallon (3 liter) milk containers and shows the actual results.

However, if you are stuck with full metal jacketed bullets both calibers are about the same for actual shootings 49 - 55% one shot stops.

if i had to be shot, i would prefere it to be with a 32 instead of a 455.

the english introduced it to stop the zulu warroirs, that kept fighting, when shot with the 38. and it worked

best
