Supply and demand, 9mm is much more popular so it is made in larger quantities, competition is higher, so prices are lower. Now that .380ACP is becoming much more popular with the new crops of pocket autos the demand is getting better but it still isn't anywhere near 9mm.

I did see light at the end of the tunnel recently as I think the prices are starting to fall on it some but that depends on how long it takes for stores to let us see the benefit instead of just their wallets.
