Should You Carry A .380 For Self Defense?

About this video

Colion discusses his approach to concealed carry with the .380 caliber, specifically the Ruger LCP2. He argues against the traditional mindset of changing your entire lifestyle to accommodate your carry gun, advocating instead for choosing firearms that fit seamlessly into your existing routine. Colion emphasizes that the best gun for self-defense is the one you’ll actually carry consistently, even if it’s a smaller caliber like the .380.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that your gun should fit your lifestyle, not the other way around—he uses a .380 Ruger LCP2 for quick trips and running because it’s easy to carry without wardrobe or routine changes
• According to Colion, any gun you actually carry is better than a larger caliber gun left at home—consistent carry matters more than maximum stopping power
• Colion notes trade-offs with pocket carry: he carries without a round chambered when pocket-carrying without a holster, accepting the need to rack the slide if needed
