Why are you so down on .380's wicked bear? Let me fire a few shots in your direction with a .380 and I bet it will get you attention - big time. I don't think you would feel much like engaging in more trouble making if you got hit by one either. I want a pocket pistol, and what else is available? I don't want to carry a 20 + oz. hunk of steel in my pants. I feel that I don't need a 9mm to protect my family I am confident that the .380 would provide more than adequate protection in 98% of the potential hazards that I can imagine facing. I just want a functional gun that I won't leave home because it too heavy or bulky to carry. I don't care how prestigious the gun is - just that it goes bang when I pull the trigger. Just to anger a few more guys, I won't carry a gun in my pocket without a manual safety, and I fail to see why some insist that the safety should be removed. If you don't want a safety, don't set the safety (they are your jewels). P.S. I don't own a Glock simply due to the fact that they don't offer a safety. Bring on the love letters. LOL
it's probably because someone has the midset of "x gun or y caliber is the end all be all of self defense 150% of the time and if you don't believe me you are uneducated."
meh. personally, carry what you will carry. a .380 in your hand is better than the 9mm, .40, 10mm, .45 back at home. and even then, different carry guns work in different situations. carry a full sized .45 when jogging or cycling? don't think so. pocket pistol when you are wearing a suit/vest and can have a shoulder rig?
Summertime i wanted something for my pocket.and this fits the bill... And yes i am an ex marine 24 years. I know my weapons. I can be just as deadly with a 22 short compared to a 45. Small brains and no balls are the people who think you need a cannon to protect yourself.
