Hmmmm.... I guess I just assumed the pistol was for CCW when the OP mentioned a .380. If it's for target practice, a .380 gets expensive. You could just use any number of 22 LR's for target practice and save a lot of money. And honestly, the only reason I would CCW with a .380 is if a 9mm was just too big for the carry restrictions. And nowadays, some of those small single stack 9's are darn near as small as a 380.
