I won't be getting one any time soon. In my personal opinion, I don't
want to carry anything weaker than a 9mm. The *only* advantage that I
can see this cartridge providing is higher magazine capacity. I've
already solved that by upgrading my S&W Shield to a Shield Plus.
Honestly the only way I see this being beneficial is to a .380 Auto user
who wants a little more punch, but doesn't want to go "all the way" to a
9mm ... (which is a little strange).
Here a a couple of decent reviews:
