I would be interested in this. I just bought a Walther PK380. Maybe S&W will show this at the Shot Show. I would be interested in this. I just bought a Walther PK380.

It was a blowback operated 9mm, but it would get the job done (I guess). Pretty accurate, but merciless on recoil! That magazine release was awkward to say the least, I think we sold it for $125 at an auction, which is more than it was worth in my opinion. We had one of those SW9Ms for a while.

If you're going with 380, why not? I doubt it though. The real question: Will it be single stack for better conceled carry? If you’re going with 380, why not? I doubt it though.

So if Glock's making a 380, S&W wants to make one, just in case. But the M&P9C still is the way to go in my opinion Well i think S&W just wants to eat the Glock market.

Watters Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:02:31 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=9884#comment-21332 S&W made a .380 Sigma variant, the SW380. However, its Zamak (zinc alloy) slide had a very short lifespan, something like 2,000 rounds. My friend Dean Speir joked that S&W should sell them pre-loaded in blister packs like cold medicine or cough drops. Pop one out, shoot it, and then throw it away. S&W also had a similar 9x19mm variant, the SW9M. It was slightly bigger than the SW380, and used the same odd magazine retention method. A speedy reload was not considered essential for either pistol. The field stripping of both models was also bit awkward, requiring a pin in the frame to be driven out. The SW380 stayed in production for seven years, but the SW9M disappeared from their lineup after only a year. S&W made a .380 Sigma variant, the SW380.

A good idea since Glock cant import there .380 pistols due to the 1968 GCA. Sure hope its not a mistype. A good idea since Glock cant import there .380 pistols due to the 1968 GCA.
