They list the ballistics as the same: 1000 fps MV and 200 ft/lbs ME... AND they are Hydra Shoks... what's not to like??

AND they tame that vicious recoil!

380's recoil?

Well, I'm for anything that would tame the horrific recoil and arm twisting torque of the mighty 380.
At least now I no longer have to stay awake at night worrying about getting “shooters elbow” from the horrendous 380s any longer.

Try some Buffalo Bore +P .380 loads... kind of like +P in a 9mm... not for a lot of target practice, though I did shoot 120 rounds of that, but not all at once. I still have 40 rounds left if I want to impress anyone. :D

If they do I would have liked to have it a few years ago.

380 and recoil those words just don't go together in the same sentence.

Does anyone else wish Desert Eagle would make a 380 on the 50AE frame like Jeepster just got (lucky). Would be a sweet shooter, a 380 in an 8# gun. I'm sure the recoil would be manageable. Probably wouldn't even need to wear a glove.
If they made it with pink accessories and perhaps a matching handbag and shoes it would just be to die for.

Sorry, I have a full time job and a child that'll be 3 in December, plus a full load at school. Not much time left. Oh and OT is the norm here at work, 40 hours is tease.

I don't know about it in an auto loader. I might be intimidated by the slide velocity in such a monster. Perhaps an N frame would be better for me. :confused:

Good thought, perhaps the Xframe for the460 and 500. We could make it a 36 shot revolver! Heck yeah. Just wear gloves and hang on.

I might wanna tie it to a tree and set it off with a long string for the 1st test fire just to be on the safe side..

Always error to the side of caution. The string is a good idea.
