Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Gun Math' system used to rank .380 pistols?

The 'Gun Math' system ranks pistols by calculating efficiency using two formulas: 'rounds per ounce' (capacity divided by weight) and 'rounds per square inch' (capacity divided by height times width). These scores are combined for a final efficiency rating.

Which .380 pistol is considered the most efficient by TFB TV?

The Kel-Tec P3AT is ranked as the most efficient .380 pistol. It achieves this top spot due to its extremely low weight of 8.3 ounces, making it the lightest on the market for its 6+1 capacity.

What makes the Bersa Thunder Plus efficient despite being a double-stack?

The Bersa Thunder Plus is efficient because its double-stack design allows for a high 15+1 capacity. This high capacity relative to its 20-ounce weight and overall dimensions results in a strong 'Gun Math' efficiency score.

Are Kahr pistols efficient for concealed carry?

Yes, Kahr's .380 models like the CW380 and CT380 are praised for their efficiency in concealed carry due to their slim profiles, typically only 0.75 inches thick, combined with good capacity for their size.
