If you are not sure what these two are, you should know that these are guns that people may want to possess for different reasons. Some would like to have them for protection. The .380 ad the 9mm would use the same diameter bullet but you will notice that the casing of the 9mm is longer.

People who are searching for concealable handguns may choose the .380 more because it comes with less recoil. The recoil can be hard especially for beginners who would only want to use a gun for self-defense. 9mm is considered to be more powerful and it is recommended for people who know how to handle guns.
