Hello everyone, I´m new here. I found this site randomly when I was looking for opinions about .380 acp handguns.
I would like to hear your opinions about what´s the best handgun & caliber in my situation: I live in Mexico, and as you might know, gun laws are quite absurd, no civilian is allowed to have any revolver larger than .38spl (no +P rounds or HP rounds), no pistol larger than .380acp (again, no HP rounds), shotguns up to 12 gauge are allowed, but barrel must be over 25" and shotshells up to 000 (no slug, no flechettes), rifles up to 30-06, .308, .300 win mag.
I own a Beretta Urika 12ga, for hunting and home protection, a Beretta 682 Gold-E, and a Colt Cobra .38spl snubbie.
I´m halfway in the process of getting a carry permit, so I´m thinking of getting a Glock .380, but no sure yet, so what gun/caliber do you recommend me 38.spl, .380 or any other (smaller of course, the thing is that strange calibers like .22 jet might get approved at registration [a couple years ago some guys got lucky and registered .357sig pistols, because people at registration offices thought that .357 was smaller than .380 [no kidding]).
Of course I know .38 is way more powerful, but I want a gun that´s fine for carrying everyday, with a decent barrel lenght & precision.
Can´t wait to read your comments, and of course, if anyone is interested in knowing more about gun laws in Mexico, just ask!
