Why I Think the BT380 is the Perfect Personal Defensive Weapon.

To me, the BT380 is the perfect personal defense weapon. I'll elaborate.

I've owned and shot a number of defensive pistols in my lifetime. Some were good and some were

bad - real bad. I had owned, tested and resold a number of Bersa 383s. At my FFL shop, buyers

were able to test fire guns I was selling. The 383 customers were extremely pleased with the weapon.

Fast forward to today's shooters. Folks today want light weight, high cap weapons. I don't know if

it's attributed to their own individual fears, but based on my research, personal defense situations

only involve 1 to 3 rounds fired. I can't think of any situation where I would need 12 to 17 rounds,

unless I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 6 feet. or taking out Russians in Ukraine.

With a barrel length of 3.5 inches, the BT380 maximizes the power of the 380. I tested many

different rounds and found the 85 grain Winchester Silver Tip works best for me. In actual varmint

shootings, it penetrated at least 11 inches and perfect mushrooms even with a 2 inch AMT Back

Up.

As far as ergonomics go, the grip frame fits me well. When drawing from the holster, the gun is

perfectly gripped and ready for precision fireing. I always carry in DA mode knowing I can respond

without worry of flicking a safety . The weight is ideal allowing comfortable carry and helping tone

recoil for more precise follow up shots.

That's it in a nut shell. Carry what you want, but you will never be under gunned with a BT380
