It Is A Valid Point

Just never cared for most 380s. Some 9mms aren't that bigger.
That's what I love about Glock. All the fire arms are the same. They look the same and function the same. Chambered for different cals, but they all feel the same. Biggest difference is weight.

Erica liked the sprienfied xd 9mm subcompact. Much easier to shoot than sig or bersa 380. Seems like 380 is making a comeback though.

The only real difference in the .380 vs 9mm is the size of the charge. The cal is the same. Using a hi velocity 380 is damn close to 9mm but the gun weighs less and is smaller because of the shorter casing. I shot my 9mm Tulammo into a gel brick and compared it to my 380. The 9 penetrated 3" deeper. Not enough for me to worry about. I know damn well that if I hit someone center body mass they will more than likely stop.

Yes, but the guns are lighter as you mentioned which means less mass to absorb recoil.
It also means a much quicker re-aim after you fire. My 380 has less muzzle flip than my Glock 19, so I can get back on target much quicker.
