It's called a Kimber Micro backup in the front pocket. Problem solved.

 

If I go to the mall and the fight is within arm's reach, a few .380 ACPs from Hornady in the center mass should solve the problem--and no innocent person gets hurt.

Well... If you believe you're a danger to innocent bystanders with a 45ACP in your hands, they won't be safe with a .380ACP in your hands.

That said, if you'd prefer to carry a .380 for whatever reason, I very much recommend one of these for consideration. I drop this in my pants pocket when I get dressed in the morning and it stays there till bedtime. If'n I need it it'll be there. With all due respect to Kimber, they've never made a more reliable .380 than this little $169 Ruger. And even in the hands of a half blind fat old man... more than adequate to deliver where needed at 7yds

 

Oh, I have a .380 ACP, a SIG P238. Great pistol, never had a stoppage.

I just like fuller size pistols. It's what I've carried since the mid-1980s, and I carry smaller firearms, like the P238 and the SW 360PD, when it's a must.

If I millionaire comes to my home and wants the UC2, lots of premium magazines, a bezillion .45ACP rounds and a Bianchi holster, I'll walk away.

Then I'll get Terry Tussey to put a .380 ACP barrel in light-weight Commander.

 

If you want a fuller size .380 1911 get a Browning, or pay a gunsmith a lot of money to convert your UC2. The odds are California will break off and fall in the ocean before Kimber makes a conversion kit.

 

Interesting idea. An Ultra in a .380 would feel almost like dry firing. Barsto makes barrels for the Kimber Ultras, and they do custom work. Maybe they'll poke a .380 hole through one if you ask nicely.

My .380 holds 8 rounds and fits in the palm of my hand with room to spare. It's not all spiffy like a Kimber, but I can count on it to make noise with every pull of the trigger.

 

The reason I mentioned Terry Tussey is that he made a complete set of conversion kits for a client. He had a .45 ACP, a 9x19'' and a .40 SW as I remember. The other ones escape me, I think there was a .38 Super in the mix, as well.

I actually thought of just putting the .22LR conversion kit on the UC2 when I went to the mall. I have four magazines and I bought good HV hollowpoint .22LRs.

There are other reasons, like to carry the .380 I have to take the .45 holster off my belt. To that, the triggers are always different. If I had one receiver and the same holster in a mid-size caliber, I could change it in to anything I wanted in minutes.
