32 ACP Keltec vs 380 Keltec

Have one of the Kel Tecs in .32 and wanted to up caliber also, decided on the 9 m/m P-11 Kel Tec. It is larger but not enough so that it causes my any problems with pocket carry. Only real problem is the recoil and pinching. Put finger extender on mags. and trigger shoe on to bring it down from uncomfortable to shoot to just not much fun to shoot.

I've toyed with the idea of getting a 380 one eventually.

But, do the ballistics of the 380 round justify the cost? Is there really much difference between the 2 rounds (ballistically)? I know the 380 is better - but is it really worth buying another gun?

The .380 will carry a little more muzzle energy, but for what you will use the gun for, I would just carry the .32 ACP and be good to go. JMHO.

Well, the thread is like four years old now. This isn't even. Possibility, now. Have long since got rid of the 32. Evenntually got. Kahr pm9. Got rid of that earlier this year one week after buying my first shield.
