The .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) is a centerfire pistol cartridge designed by John Browning in 1908. It typically features a bullet diameter of 0.355 inches and is popular for its relatively low recoil, making it suitable for compact and subcompact handguns. The .380 ACP is commonly used for self-defense and as a concealed carry option, though it offers less stopping power compared to larger calibers. Its popularity persists due to its balance of size, recoil, and effectiveness in close-range situations.
