Picked up a P238 over the weekend from Sgt. Jimmy at Dixie Ammo Dump. I've never had a laser before, but thinking maybe 7 - 10 yards. P238 has great sights for such a small package. Just wondering if there's a rule of thumb. I need to do some more reading, so if anybody has some good links, I'd appreciate that as well.

Since it is my thread, I'll preemptively derail it and ask if anybody knows of any deals on .380 practice ammo. I see what I think are decent prices at Freedom Munitions... $.28 $.30/rd depending on whether reman or new. Interesting to me that .380 is more expensive than 9mm.

arms length away.  if i have to use my pocket pistol, it's going to be close range.

I have a 238 as well. Great gun and surprisingly accurate. I do not have a laser, but I would say 7-10 yards. Wouldn't really be used out past that, even though the gun could do it.

Sarge is a great guy!

If it were mine, I'd zero at 7 yards.

Simple reason .380 is more expensive then 9MM, there are 100s of thousands more boxes of 9MM sold then .380 so its all supply and demand. It is not like .22RL compared to 9MM in size and there is a huge volume and material differences. All a .380 is is a 9MM short, so that is not that much saving making one over the other so it comes down to volume being used and sold.

Best price around is $12.95 for 50 at Bullets.com

South GA Outdoors has Silver Bear for $13.59 for 50

South GA Outdoors has Blazer for $15.99 for 50

My wife wanted to adopt him as her Dad.  Thx for the distance info.

Thanks for the info t_h. My first foray into the .380 world. I figured it was supply and demand. I remember hearing that 380 was practically impossible to find after Sandy Hook.
