I also like the Glock 26. Great gun. Have carried it for years. Very versatile. But I now use it for a house gun. Because a few years ago I acquired a Sig P365. Great pistol. I put a Hogue grip on it. And put the Mag Guts kits in my magazines. My 10 round is now 12, and my 12 round is now 14...

I had an early S&W 317. LS. When I bought it I really liked it. 8 rounds, very lightweight. But it was awful when I got around to shooting it. The double action trigger was very heavy and difficult, especially for a very light weight revolver. I couldn’t even cock the tiny hammer for single...

I have had a Mauser Hsc, a Sig P230 Stainless, and a Walther Interarms PPK Stainless. All 380. The Mauser had a terrible trigger, traded it for something else. Then later got the P230. It was beautiful. But It was too large for a pocket. Traded it. Then I got the PPK. Never sliced me. Heavy...

You must have gotten my old Berreta 21A. That thing never ran reliably. I would never recommend it. I traded it in as part of a transaction for a larger caliber revolver. Likely the Ruger 22 the better choice.

Hey SwampWolf. I have a kind of similar situation. I have a Smith 6906 that I bought new in the 1980s. I changed the spurless hammer out for a spurred one for a 5906, and added 14 round magazines with a form fitting extension. But I can still use the 12 rounders, of course. But I have always...

I had a 317 for many years. Bought it when they first came out. The very lightweight snub. I loved the light weight. But the trigger was the worst of any gun I ever had. I know that 22s tend to have heavy triggers, but this one was very heavy. And I had a hard time thumbing it back for single...

I have several of the guns that have been discussed. First the Smith 3rd generation. Out of production, but excellent guns. I have the 6906, compact, stainless with the 12 round magazines. It can also use the 14/15 rounders of the 5906 and I have several with adapter base pads, to allow it to...

I like the looks of the King Cobra and held one but when I held the Kimber, I was hooked and I got the 2 inch DAO with night sights. I really couldn’t afford it but I was able to trade two other guns, both 22s which I had no need for, and my out of pocket was very low as a result. The Kimber...

I have a 6906 from when it was new. I have the extended mags and the bases with them because I use it as a 15 round home defense gun. I also had the spur hammer from the 5900 series put on it so I can use it as a single action if I want. Or I can use the lower capacity mags and carry it. But I...

Have you tried a Hogue grip on your LCP 380? I find that it helps my shooting a lot. Feels great. And I have much more control. I can shoot for much longer than before.

I have had a Walther/Interarms PPK .380 stainless for decades. I carried it for many, many years. No slide bite, I guess my hands are small. No feed issues. I have just used FMJ. No fancy stuff. No problems field stripping and cleaning it. It is a great pocket pistol. I prefer the PPK to the...

I have a 6906 like yours that I bought new and still have it. I did several things for it when I bought it. 1. I changed the hammer to a normal spurred hammer which you can use your thumb to cock if you desire. I like that a lot more. 2. I had a trigger job done, and it is definitely better. 3...

I have one of the LCP I models for a couple of months. I had been using the Kel Tec P3AT for many years. I couldn't pass up the low price on the LCP. I always have wanted one. In looking at the new LCP II, I like a few things. The last round hold open is good. The new lightweight pull trigger...

Debi; I have had a similar experience to you. I also have a Ruger LCR, in .357, but I use .38 +P in it. I really like it and have carried it at times. I really love the trigger. And the grips, shape and overall design. But, I also acquired a Sig P290RS a few years ago. It has grown on...

I never understand when somebody says that they hate this or that category of gun. Or that these "pocket" guns never fit in their pocket and they have to carry them on their hip. How small is your pocket? I carried a Glock 26 in a pocket for a number of years, before all these smaller 9s...
