The 9.3mm .(366”) “9x18” walks all over the .380 (9x16mm, .355”). About the same difference between a .40 S&W and 10mm performance. I’ve chronographed the 95 gr. ball at 1150+ fps from Makarovs and little PA63 Walther’ish clones. They are surprisingly accurate due to the fixed barrel pinned to the frame, it doesn’t move every shot. The stubby projectile almost looks like a round ball with one side flattened. Not the best ballistic coefficient but it sure does the trick. Many eastern bloc civilians can attest (and some can’t!).
That’s a fine price. Grab extra mags while you can too. Us old timers know about that from experience.
