This consumer (me), is willing to pay more for what I perceive to be the higher quality of engineering, finishing, and feel of the Beretta 80.
I own a Ruger security 380. After shooting the other two, I couldn’t justify the additional cost for perceived quality difference. If you maintain your firearms as I do, you don’t have the corrosion issues some have cited with the Ruger slide finish.
Overall, the Ruger is easier to rack than most; it has 15 +1 capacity, good sights out of the box, and almost no felt recoil compared to 9mm pistols. It is a great firearm for those who have difficulty racking the slide, and are sensitive to recoil.
@@E52O4People sweat differently, when i carried a ruger I would have to remove rust and oil twice a week to stay on top of it. I would pay 2-3x the cost of a ruger to not have that issue alone.
My lc9s had a sear spring issue (that I now read is common). I’m done with ruger semi-autos at this point. There are so many better options that being a blind fan of low standards isn’t high on my list.
Nobody is telling you not to love your rugers, maybe you got all the good ones.
Galloway Precision has some nice upgrades for the Ruger Security 380 (& 9). One being a red dot base that fits into the rear sight's dove tail.
I have the Ruger Security 380. Shooting it is like running a hot scalding knife through butter. It’s smooth! My only regret in buying it, is that I didn’t buy two of them!
Now you can get it with a gold barrel. I just got mine, and it looks nice!
I been trying to get my hands on one, but every shop around me is sold out. Super popular firearm.
2 buddies and myself bought the Ruger Security 380 light rack. $318 taxes and background check. The Ruger is a great weapon. My two buddies were law enforcement and have a lot of experience and weapons. They are retired now but love to go to the range. I’m a retired bad guy that went good gets to go with them to the range. The Ruger is really a great way to go. Good video and thanks to Ruger firearms.
I purchased both the Sig 365-380 and the Ruger Security 380. For concealment with summer clothing, I prefer the Sig 365-380 and the Ruger Security 380 when wearing a jacket or sports coat. I like both equally and especially the Ruger with the 15-round mag. I use a 12-round Sig mag for the Sig 365-380. In my view, both are winners and entice me to go shooting more often, which is a plus.
Watching this video help me realize I need a set up like yours. I love the Security-380 but in the summer heat it was killing me when I had the 15 rounder in there.
I think I'll pick up the Sig to try out for most of the year.
Great info. Thanks
Always appreciate your .380 tests! 👍
Agree, the .380 is indeed absolutely lethal.
In the news recently, a Florida woman shot and killed her neighbor through her front door with one shot from a .380.
In my opinion it’s safer to carry DA/SA with one in the chamber than any striker. Hence, I decided to switch from p365 (9mm) to 80x. P365 I still use as one of the guns for home protection - I just wasn’t comfortable with carrying it with one in the chamber. Also I absolutely agree that p365 even 9mm has less recoil than 80x and is more pleasant to shoot. Not even sure how is that possible. Also it’s worth to mention that 80x stock double stack magazine has 13 rounds.
I liked your review. It was informative without a lot of unnecessary info or b.s. . And the camera work during the firing was helpful; actually seeing the results at the targets in real time.
Might be in the minority here, but optics on a "pocket" pistol like the P365 seems self defeating. I have the Ruger Security 380 and the P365 380. They have different roles, even though the same caliber.
This was an awesome and thorough evaluation and I thank you.
I own a Ruger security 380. And then mounted a holosun 407. Galloway makes a mounting plate. Then i also ordered a plus 3 for my 15 round clip. The ruger was recommended by an academy employee. I have weakened and damaged wrists from handyman work. The ease of the rack . The light recoil made this a great first gun for me. 380 means your back on 🎯 fast with the light recoil. I will say that you should feed the Ruger cci or high quality ammo. I have run fiocchi auto fmj through it. However i believe the ammo doesn't fit in the gun. Because the bullet pressed into the jacket caused the jacket to become larger than the barrel. Therefore if it does feed it needs to be taped into the chamber the last quarter of an inch. I had 10 failures to feed. I switched to Winchester rounds and it fired all 17. There was a visual difference between the two bullets that you could see the morphed jacket. And you could feel the bullet was a tad larger. Other than what i experienced its a great looking fun gun. My other consideration that i may pickup next is the walther pd380. Mainly because of the ergonomics in the grip. However you do loose some capacity. I would also say higher grain ammo and breakin time will help this gun to be more reliable. Sadly i wouldn't try hollowpoints. As they may stovepipe. With the rougher tip hanging up. However thats just a theory. Soon to be tested😊
There's nothing quite like the feel in the hand of the metal frame guns.
Just picked up my security 380 for 325 bucks. Have not shot it yet but absolutely love the beefy feel to it over my old CC S&W bodyguard. Also the 15+ 1 capacity is almost 3 times what the S&W was. Love the front fiber optic sight and with all the videos I've watched before deciding to buy I JUSY KNOW its gonna be a great CC GUN.
Excellent review! 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😉
Beretta all day. Can’t beat the quality of the design and ergos.
Love the ruger 380 great gun great price
Nice review 👌
Excellent video. Thx … i have the beretta and i do like the quality and accuracy
I love my Sig P365-380. I've got the Wilson Combat grip with added tungstun weights for a better feel and handling. And I use Underwood Xtreme Defense fluted ammo so I have no worries about expansion or penetration. It's my go-to carry pistol for warmer weather.
Did I miss the distance He is shooting ?
Also enjoy the Walther CCP m2 380 as a shooter. By design it is easy on old hands in racking the slide. Really like its grip ergos.
The ability to lego build the Sig is also a bonus for getting the right grip fit.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
nice 380acp pistol comparisons ... I like my PK380 and fairly accurate at 21ft .... I'd like the Ruger Security 380 for my next purchase ...
We had a PK380 when they first released, but it was one of the early ones with the firing pin problems. I'd like to eventually get another one to give it a proper second chance. In the hand it felt like it had a lot of potential.
@@Th3BaconNation , early on my PK380 had issues, sent it back to Walther and Walther replaced the entire slide assembly and it’s been great since. I keep it in my carry rotation. I switch it up every now and then
The PK380 was originally made by S&W as part of a deal with Walther. Those original ones were prone to the same firing pin failure the bodyguard 380 had when it first came out, because they had some common parts.
What distance are you firing from?
It might have been helpful to point out that the 80X alone of the three uses a blowback operation - hence the snappy recoil impulse.
don't they all use direct blowback? I just take it as the slide being heavier.
No. Sig and Ruger are locked breech like 9mm and larger pistols, which make the recoil much softer. But i feel accuracy is better with the 80x due to the fixed barrel vs tilt barrel system of others.
Its still less than 9mm and the muzzle rise is also not more than that of the other two. Its just little more felt recoil.
@@garyweber8370Fixed barrel is not more accurate than short recoil or tilt operated designs.
Beretta allllll fuckin day. Just aesthetically speaking, it runs circles around it. Im not saying its the absolute greatest 380 or compact pistol in general but if youre a fan of quality built firearms, a Beretta hits different.
It has a nice classic look to it that's hard to argue with, IMO. It hits pretty good out to at least 100 yards in my experience. Very accurate firearm.
I’ve had my 80x for one week. After 100 rounds, a spring broke. I’m picking up my security in ten days and hope for better luck.
I did, great decision! Very good gun, reasonable price, and one I’m willing to leave in my vehicle, when I go into a no gun zone!
Black Friday Deal Ruger Security 224
So why not have two ?
Blazer is a brand of CCI, you were correct the first time. :3
It's a shame you didn't include the S&W EZ. I'm sure you had a reason though. The grip safety of the EZ eliminates it for me and so I'd lean for the Ruger, though the Beretta would be nice to own and shoot. The older some of get, the more weight becomes important for a carry gun.
The EZ is one we intended to include more regularly, but the crew member who has it has been using it in weekend training courses, and we haven't had access to it for videos as a result. It's one we hope to add back to the comparison rotation soon.
Super easy ... Beretta
Awesome video, and I appreciate your comments regarding the .380 round being an adequate self defense round👍.
Have you had reliability issues with the Beretta 380?
Zero failures. It has had excellent reliability and accuracy for me thus far.
@Th3BaconNation have you run any hollow point through it?
A few different types. Zero issues. In most of the videos I end the range set firing one or more different types of defense ammo.
Excellent presentation. How about a similar review of the Walter 380 semiautomatic pistol?
Don't have access to the Walther, but I do have access to an Astra clone that we plan on using in a yearly comparison against the latest new things against it later this fall.
I believe the 380 ACP was intended for urban social work. The probability of exiting the intended target is low.
A Hollow Point from a more powerful caliber when tested in other than ballistic gel or water jugs frequently will not expand. This can result in a bullet leaving with 1/3 of its velocity. This takes 1/3 of the Energy out of the target. The good news is that 3-400 fps is typically not going to be lethal.
You also have to be realistic and assume multiple hits not a single one will be needed.
John Moses Browning created the 380ACP (and 32ACP) in the late 1890's in a quest to produce more powerful cartridges for small, lightweight, simple and easy to produce semi-automatic pistols. Increasing penetration was a primary goal. Back then, over penetration would have been seen as a good thing.
what distance ??? all center mass
Looks like you rushed the last mag on the 80x in the first round of shooting. I have a 92x RDO compact, only about 7 or 8 oz's difference and a shorter barrel in the 80x, and the frame mounted safety. I love the look of Beretta's but I'm 69 so I'm looking for a lighter, smaller carry pistol, probably a p938 or p365xl. Good video! Thanks.
Thanks! That 80X, like most 380s, calls to the subconscious asking to be shot faster. It's tough to resist the temptation to put the pedal down at the public range. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
My mercedes doesn’t get me anywhere twice as fast, but I sure like driving it. If they’re all pretty equal in most respects, then get the one you like.
My Beretta PX4 Storm uses a combat sighting hold, so if the Cheeta is the same and if you hold at 6 o'clock with such a Beretta, then your shots would be low.
Beretta grouping says it all for me
They are all good shooters, but the 80x consistently puts up groups that are hard to contend with. Even better now that the MSRP on it has dropped by $100.
👍
There's no getting around the fact that the Sig p365 is the smallest and lightest of the 3 pistols. I pocket carry the Sig p365. In my opinion, it is at the top end of what one can pocket carry. I really don't think the Beretta is a candidate for pocket carry. Maybe the Ruger can be pocket carried, but it can never be as easy as the Sig. You'd probably have to choose your pants very carefully.
If your life depended on it, Which one would you buy?
Quite possibly, the best 380 is the CZ83. When is the CZ83 vs. 80X video coming?
I choose the LCP Max. XD
You might be better off with a Bluetooth gaming headset. Just saying.
Security 380 all day!!
The best 380 pistol is a model 84 FS it’s way prettier than the new 80x it’s 1000 times prettier than a Sig 365 and it has been flawless for almost 30 years or more. I currently on them all but my model 84 FS would be the last to go
NEW SUBSCRIBER helping you grow
Pulling an optic on the gun that small is the stupidest thing on the planet it’s just like Glock owners they love to put thousands of dollars into a gun when they could just buy a Beretta a Sigg or an HK
