Never been a fan of most .380s. Most actually seemed to have more recoil to me than a 9mm because the gun was so light it didn't absorb the recoil.Recoil is the main reason I went to a .380 acp for daily carry. Less recoil means quicker re-aim times and a tighter group. I use my G19 for range use, but the .380 is at my side.
