If you have a .380 why would you want to use lead bullets? Guns that

Actually my Bersa 95. normally using some reloads built around a 102g Lee RN is one of my
favorite guns. Cheap to shoot, actually has a bit of recoil and easy to conceal and
carry. Fixed barrel blow back, pretty accurate. Knocks over the plates on the plate rack
reliably.

Ed likes a .32 Mag iirc, so don't diss minor calibers.

Btw, the only major caliber I can find ammo for is the .40 S&W. Too bad I don't have one
(Yet).

I would suggest that you try before you buy. The recoil of the .40
S&W is kinda unique, and acceptance of recoil varies a lot among
shooters. I know a petite woman that shoots a .40 very well indeed,
and I know guys that shoot .45ACP, .357 Mag and .45 Colt very
accurately that can't hit crap with a .40. I shoot a .40 XD well
enough for SD and HD, but my shot placement is definitely better with
both 9mmp and .45ACP. YMMV.
