The .380 ACP was famously used by many German officers during World War II in the Walther PPK, as well as by Italian forces in the Beretta M1934. Currently, it is popular in the civilian market as a personal defense round. The combination of decent penetration in close range defense situations with light recoil has made it a viable round for those who wish to carry a small, lightweight handgun that can still provide adequate defense. Popular firearms chambered in this round include the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard and the Ruger LCP.
