    PP a 9mm short

    Anyone ever do it? Anyone ever using soft lead in an auto of any size? A gal in my office bought a little LCP. The 380 self defense round conversation came up which is a big debate these days with all the tiny pocket guns in the market. There is a company making hard cast +p 380. I was wondering if anyone ever tried using soft lead? I wonder what kind of results a guy might get from it. It seams like the results would be favorable.

    Yeah, just thinking about trying that made my sausage-sized fingers start to ache!
    An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "Inside me two wolves fight," he told the boy.
    "One is evil - he is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, and ego. The other is good - he is joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, generosity, truth and faith. The same fight is inside you - and every other person, too."
    The grandson thought for a minute and asked,"Which wolf will win?"
    The old Cherokee replied, "The one you feed."

    I haven't found soft naked tumble lubed lead to cause problems at all with 380 velocities. 380 penetration capabilities are underrated imo. It can be fun with light loads it is quiet & effective on small game/varmints at close range. Full throttle loads are potent if well placed.
