[Bob Denman]

Here's a picture that compares some of the sizes of the offertings in question...
Note the compact size of the Seecamp... :thumbup:

Glock is rumored to be announcing a .380 in January (G42).. I'd wait for the reviews on that before pulling the trigger... (sorry, couldn't resist)

 

[Bob Denman]

Is there any information floating around out on web about it yet?
If it's got a polymer frame; it'll be bulkier than a lot of the other offerings... (Just my guess...)

EDIT: I did find this... I hope that it's accurate and useful!

They carry a wide range of guns and can ship. Like this little jewel.

:shocked: Well that looks almost like TOO much fun!! :2thumbs:

No one has mentioned the Kel-Tec .380. It has been out for years and, if you put it side-by-side with the Ruger, you'll see that the Ruger is a blatant copy.

 

[Bob Denman]

I could be wrong about this... pps:
But doesn't the Kel-Tec fire from a locked breach. Just about everybody else uses the blowback method...

 

[bruiser]

Bob, I'm trying to figure out a way to mount it in the frunk.

 

[Bob Denman]

You're gonna need to "frunk Monkey" to amn it for you...

Care whether it's a Revolver or a semi-auto?

Snoopy, I'm looking for a semi-auto. :thumbup: Tom :trike:

i really like the S&W 380 body guard

I'm hearing a lot of good things about the bodyguard. :thumbup: Tom :trike:

 

[Tango]

You guys are awesome! :thumbup: Thanks, Tom :trike:

I have a Taurus 380 ACP. Good grip even though I have long fingers and is very easily concealed. Mine only likes to shoot Winchester slugs though without jamming. Run a few hundred rounds through before relying on it. Decently priced.

.380

Who carries, or owns, a .380 handgun? Make, are you happy with it? Or what would you rather have? In a .380. Looking to buy one. Light weight, good feel, good shooting. :spyder2: Tom :trike:

I carry a S & W bodyguard with laser in my purse loaded with personal defense rounds. It's small and light. I practice with it at the range about 2x/year - no more than I need to. The grip is short so if I'm not paying real close attention, my hand rides up and I tear the skin between my thumb and forefinger. Too much drama for the range, but it is OK as a carry weapon. I also have a Browning .380 that I carry in my car. It's a very nice gun and doesn't have the grip problem. You might also look at the S & W, M & P series. I've shot the 9mm and it's a very nice gun to shoot, just a little larger. All are very accurate.

Just bought a S&W M&P 9 mm, can't wait for a chance to shoot it. :thumbup:

Ruger LCP380
that is what i carry and like it, besides is cheap, i paid $298 plus tax.

 

[Bob Denman]

I have a Seecamp .32 that is wonderful for concealment, but its very finicky with ammo choices.
.

Mine likes Winchester SilverTips... Feeds them flawlessly...:thumbup: I've never had a stoppage with them!
But I've heard good things about Speer ammo also!

 

[Bob Denman]

That's why I've got a half a case of them; dfownstairs in the basement! :thumbup:

Ok gang. I settled on a S+W .380 Bodyguard w/laser. Picked it up today. They took me through all the small .380's and small 9mm's. Went in to buy a used Kimber mini 9mm they had w/laser. Three different sales people said stay away from it. Unless you were to buy their full size .45, or 9mm. Worked with 2 men, one woman who didn't rush with the sale. Also gave me 2 hours time at an indoor range. Thanks everyone! :clap: Tom :trike:
