While a useless accomplishment, I can make consistent hits at 50Y on 10" steel with my LCP and Speer TMJ.
I guess my point being it's all about good hits or I guess really any hits with a .380.

PS. I only carry the LCP as a backup to my G19 off duty or as a tertiary gun on duty ;-)
Not useless at all. While rare long range pistol gun fights do happen from time to time.
