I’ve seen a couple YouTube personalities in recent years totally trash the 40... calling it “short and weak” — talking about how the FBI ditched it, saying it offers no advantage over 9mm nor 45, snappy recoil makes follow up shots more difficult. After you watch enough of those videos, one...

I would guess the 3 least recoiling: Beretta 92 PX4 CZ 75b

I enjoy my Bodyguard 380 and use it as EDC, but I am more accurate with larger guns, with or without laser, especially once you start moving out past 20 feet or so. The BG380 is great for what it is designed for... daily deep conceal pocket carry, enough power to knock down bad guys who come...

Makes the same sized hole as a 9mm, just not the same power. However, it has plenty of power to sling ~100 gr of lead well into a bad guy and it can be concealed comfortably in a front pocket. .380s make for true pocket pistols... S&W BG380, LCP, P3AT, P238, DBs, Seecamps, etc. Once you move up...

Voted for the BG 380... I have two. When I shopped, the guns I had access to were the: Kel-tec P3AT Sig P238 Ruger LCP S&W Bodyguard 380 The only one I didn't shoot before I decided on the Bodyguard was the Sig. The Sig has a nice trigger (SA) so I know it would be easier at the...

I chose the Bodyguard 380 at Bass Pro Shops for $349. The Sig is nice, but I did not think it was worth the extra $250 to me.

I am in agreement with G27RR. I don't have shooting experience with the Diamondback, so I can't comment on that one, but based on the other 3, the most comfortable shooters to me are the P238 and the Bodyguard 380. I give a slight edge to the P238 (in my hand, anyway) because of it's slightly...

Most of the complaints came from early models in the serial number EAAxxxx range... common complaints were difficult-to-press laser buttons, too-tight safeties, and clumsy take down levers. I believe all newer models have addressed these issues and the warranty is taking care of the older...

The Ruger LCP w/ CT laser and Bodyguard 380 are very close in all aspects... size, function, etc. The CT laser is better (pressure activated) but the S&W gets the nod in most other areas, including price. Now that these can be found for $350, they are hard to find in stock. The original MSRP...

Craig, I didn't catch the name... I just asked the first person who answered the phone. Thanks for all of your replies. I guess I could stand my ground and tell them to do some research but I'm not sure that will accomplish anything.

So my dad has been handing down a few guns to my brother and I lately. Last week he gave me an unfired Franchi AL-48 Deluxe in 28 gauge. He also gave me two boxes of Winchester 7 1/2 shot. It's an extremely light gun... I believe around 5 1/2 lbs. I have a capable 12 gauge semi-auto...

Already checked the receiving FFL... they have no problem with it. They just asked me to include a copy of my driver license and write their customer's name and phone number on the outside of the shipment. I can't find any information that Florida doesn't allow an unlicensed individual to...

So I sold a handgun for the first time on Gunbroker. According to Gunbroker's "Help" section, it says an unlicensed seller like myself can ship the gun directly to an FFL using UPS or FedEx overnight. I called my local dealer (Tactical Defense Weaponry in Clermont, FL) and he said Gunbroker is...

Supply and demand

The main points I got is that you're looking for something black, for self defense, plus occasional plinking, to complement your Glock. Of your choices I would say the Hi-Point carbine (to share ammo and you said you liked it) or the 20 gauge shotgun. One step further, I would advise you...
