Most .380's are very inaccurate due to the short barrel length. You will probably find this out when you get to putting some rounds trough it. Practice enough to make sure you are more proficient that some thug pos.

They're actually "inaccurate" because of the short sight radius.

Any barrel that can stabilize a bullet will be reasonably accurate. But getting one of these to shoot accurately yourself is a different story.

first one Lipsey's received!

I agree, with the accuracy issues, I have a XD 9mm that I am pretty accurate with, BUT its too big to carry in my pocket.

This. Short barrel had nothing to do with lack of accuracy. Short barrels might mean lower fps but because they are mechanically stiffer they can be just as accurate if not more so. Sub 0.25 MOA benchrest rifles use pretty short barrels that are about 2" diameter. Glock 26 had shown to be very accurate too.

I have one and I have a tight grouping at 15 to 20 yds. The low recoil makes up for the short barrel length. IMO.

Additional info given:

If you buy some expensive personal defense rounds, be sure to run a box or two through your gun to see how they cycle. They hang up in mine. No problems with FMJ.

Surprisingly pleasant little gun to shoot, and so easy to conceal. I have a crossbreed min-tuck and you can forget you are carrying. Frickin ammo is expensive though. I'm thinking about buying a CW9.

Nice! I've been wanting to see those pop up in stores.

My friend has his P380 on him almost all the time. I agree that if you're limited in terms of clothing, having a gun is better than having no gun at all.

And of all pocket 380s, I think Kahr 380s are the best to shoot.
