I've only shot one .380, and it was a Walther PPK. I have to admit that I like any of the 9mms I've fired more than that .380acp round. Size-wise the closest thing to compare was the Kahr K9. No question, the Walther PPK was harsher in recoil than the Kahr K9.

I would hazard a guess that it is the blow-back operation of most .380s that make them so uncomfortable, not just the physical size. But, less weight means less ability to absore recoil.
