Yeah, but 9mm parabellum and .45 CAP have been around a century, My whole comment was intended to be fasciitis though and not intended to be taken too seriously. Playing the caliber wars can be fun sometimes.

This is quite concerning for me.

This is why so many people choose 9mm, availability and affordability. Acadamy should still have plenty of .40 cal options at least for now.

went to academy last month they dont sell the self defense ammo i carry but they did have target ammo

Maybe it's time to rethink your choice of arms. For many people the costs of ammo often is larger than the costs of the costs of the gun itself. I own very few arms, and my choices have each had many hours of consideration. The ammo the eat and the sustainabilty is a large part of the decision process. Buying into the latest and greatest new fad for a weapon you want to keep you alive might be a mistake.

If I were to carry a 380 I would consider just carrying FMJ as others have pointed out there really aren't that many incidents reported where pass-through shootings are a factor. Paul Harrel has a good video on this topic that you might want to look at.

I personally am not crazy about the LCP or any .380 as they tend to be finicky, and can be underpowered. A 9mm such as the LC9 will provide a little more accuracy and a wider range of ammo choices. YMMV others wiser and smarter than I carry the LCP with confidence, We even had a governor shoot a coyote with his.
