.380 auto has been very cheap and easy to reload.

I've got a .380 stuffed in the back of the safe somewhere. Hmm. Might have to dig it out and take it shooting. At a target 18" away. And struggle to hit center of mass. Keltecs are awesome.

I have a couple .380 autos and I used to carry one when I lived in central pheonix and working on construction jobs.

I consider myself a good shot, and I am absolutely worthless with the little tiny gun. The .380 would be more accurate if I threw it at the attacker. I've got a couple of .38 snubbies, and they're not too bad. Except the S&W titanium one. In .357 it is the most unpleasant thing I've ever shot. Your hand hurt for days after shooting it.

I don't mind big/magnum calibers in other guns. Just that one. It's got a 2" barrel and it weighs 13 ounces empty. Full power .357 feels like someone hit your hand with a baseball bat. It's pretty cool that it throws a 2' flame, though. Even if I miss, the attacker will be on fire.

I haven't been to the range all summer. It's an outdoor range. You'll fill up your safety glasses with sweat. I'll start back up in a week or two when it's not miserable out. I've got a new red dot for a rifle to sight in, and two or three new(ish) pistols to try out.

I think we pay about $300 a year here for our range. The range rents out its fields to multiple law enforcement agencies. I have to say they have ALWAYS put money back into the club through charity events and social awareness of good causes

When I can blow through 2 belts of M60 ammo with a cheering crowd...I just want to salute everyone lol.

Mine is $140 a year, but they don't let you shoot anything full auto. But it's always deserted. A busy day is ten people out there. It's glorious.
