Default RE: .380 acp

Yes get the biggest one( pistol/revolver )you can carry well(-where size& weight dosnt matter to much i would. (and dosnt have to be unseen under clothes?).A .380 wouldnt be my first choice either. But i think it has its uses to . And as the other poster pointed out - better then nothing i think(and can be used as a backup/2nd gun)-.& better thenyour finger?A 44 mag& above only for stoping power be ideal?I may get one( already have a few 44.s& 38,s & 9mm (luger/ parabellums only ) etc )- & may get a 380myself . Isntthe .380 a 9mm( ?(= Type ofshort version?)

But i think those ppks maybe to much for me anyways cost wise( least they where before)

Around $240. or so these.380 Kel tec,s are ithink in price ( they have a .223 cal riflei may have to check out to)

These isa From the Guns& ammo web page.

Kel-Tec P-3AT[/align]This astonishingly compact .380 auto sets new standards in weight-to-power ratio.[/align]By Wiley Clapp [/align][/align]




The P-3AT’s .380 ACP chambering makes it an unsurpassed combination of concealability and effectiveness.[/align][/align][/align]

Ingenuity is often nothing more than a combination of existing principles applied in unique ways. Kel-Tec's new P-3AT has no single feature that is not established in modern pistol design, yet it has no competition in its niche.


This simple little .380 is the thinnest pocket auto I can recall. It's one of the easiest-to-conceal handguns of effective caliber you could possibly find. The P-3AT is 3.5 inches high by 5.12 inches long (including a 2.75-inch barrel). It is the thickness of the gun--.78 of an inch at its widest point--that is downright startling when you pick one up. And the pistol's unloaded weight is just 8.5 ounces. Now, a half-pound .380 that is actually smaller than my outstretched hand is unique. This one is small and light enough to tuck away in ankle rigs, waistbands, almost any pocket, possibly even in a hat.

Nice& light(And smallerlighter& then the ppk)

Hiddin in a hat you could still be armed in a nudist camp/beach ?

Didnt the Fbi switch from 38,s&9mm luger etc to 10mm & then later to the shorter cased 40. cal version.s after a few agents where killed in a gunfight.( a crazed man with a mini 14?). ?

When my mate shoots our glock model 17. it has jammed about every 2-3 rounds on her.But she hits the targets well with it- but wouldnt want her to have to rely on it with her life. Its been doing that for her for years with her. But itdosnt effect or any jams with any ofthe other brand 9mm,s& semi auto,s etc we own. I think its her grip& hold.But it Did improve & jam much less when she recently shot it off the hood ofour truck- while leaning/ her arms on it.
