This is due to the fact the rounds are similar in diameter. When comparing firearms of a similar size, their capacities are almost identical. The difference is the capacity between the two calibers is minimal. For military or police duty, they consider 13 to 20 rounds normal, but for everyday carry, 5 to 8 rounds are normal, and even recommended for beginners. They don’t design concealed carry pistols to be offensive weapons or for an extended firefight. Judging the capacity of an everyday carry pistol compared to the capacity of a duty pistol is a mistake. Some people may not like a super small gun, but the fact remains a 380 ACP can be smaller than a 9mm. However, a pistol in 9mm will never be as small as a 380 ACP. So, which is better, the 380 ACP or the 9mm? Some 9mms can even be small enough to be classified as pocket pistols. However, 9mm handguns can still be quite small. They can propel a heavier projectile because they designed the round for service with police and military forces. The 9mm, on the other hand, is a 9 x 19mm round that is significantly more powerful. Take one look at the Ruger LCP or S&W Bodyguard and you’ll understand why they are so popular for concealed carry. The 380 can produce some small, convenient pocket pistols. This makes the handguns smaller and often lighter. While the case is only two mms shorter, the projectiles are often lighter and require less power to operate. This small round is considerably less powerful than the standard 9mm. The 380 ACP is a 9 x 17mm round, so they call it the 9mm short or the Kurz in Europe. A more powerful firearm needs to be stronger, which means it has to be bigger and heavier. This has to do with the actual physical size of the bullet, as well as how they must build the firearm. Caliber often dictates the overall size of the firearm. Since you have to hide those concealed carry guns, smaller is better in that case, as well. A smaller, lighter firearm is more comfortable to carry over longer periods. When it comes to concealed carry and everyday carry in general, the smaller the gun is, the generally the better. But the concealed carry popularity has brought the round back to the mainstream. The round saw a dip in popularity throughout the golden days of revolvers and magnum cartridges. They built the 380 ACP primarily for small self-defense handguns and this has remained the case over time. Their design made firearms affordable and easier for them to build by promoting a relatively small size. The purpose was to produce a round that people could use in those simpler blowback pistols. Legendary gun designer John Browning introduced the 380 ACP in 1908. And later the Brits, NATO, the United States and almost every other modern country adopted it. The round went on to serve in the German military. The 9mm round was originally chambered in the famous Luger pistol. But the Germans were the first to adopt the round with the Imperial German Navy. He sent the round to the British, Germans and Americans for testing as a service pistol round. George Luger designed the round in 1902 with warfare in mind. As this article says, there are reasons for any of the three, depending on what you are doing.The 9mm is by far the older round of the two. I’d rather shoot a 45 (ACP or Colt) than a 40, or 10mm or anything with “magnum” in the listing - it’s not a snap recoil, it’s more of a push – I can shoot a hundred rounds with no issues – but it’s a large frame, and has that single-stack capacity issue - but if I were in the country, I would be carrying the 45, with hollowpoints. I have a Springfield 45, and I’ve never understood the “oh, the recoil!” angst.
easier for concealed carry, but snappy recoil, which makes for less accuracy - I use it for carry, because if I shoot someone more than fifteen feet away, I’ll be going to jail, and less than fifteen feet, my three shot groups are about 6″. My first pistol was a CZ75 9mm – bought it for two reasons it was half the price of the Beretta, and the salesperson said, “You can throw it on the ground, run over it with a truck, pick it up, and it will still shoot.” I still have it, and I’ve put about 3,000 rounds through it, and it fits me really well.
