Back to your original post.... "I know the P238 is the most refined of the five, but is it a true pocket gun? I just got rid of my PM9 because it was not small enough." IMO the P238 isn't a "true pocket gun" - little too big, little too heavy. An LCP will hide in normal, even snug fitting...

I think the S&W 642/442 or Ruger LCR is ideal. Start out with target wadcutter loads. Light recoil and still way better than a .22 for stopping power. Once comfortable, slowly work up the loads. Recoil is all relative to what you're used to. The LCR does have a notably lighter trigger and less...

I've been at two shops in the last week that had the following: Kel-Tec .380's and .32's - $175 Kel-Tec PF11 9MM - $175 (Kicking myself for not grabbing that one!) Ruger LCP - $225 When you bump it to $350 you could go to any of the above new, or (my preference for home defense) a used...

007 - If you haven't already, check out the High Standard forum over on Rimfire Central. Some very knowledgable guys over there.

Thanks HB. Understood. Just curious how far someone may have gotten. Sounds like not very! :)

I realize it's not THE choice here. But curious if anyone has tried. My model 17 was very accurate, and had I looked hard enough for a scope mount, may have tried putting a dot on it and giving it a go. Only for 25yd matches, as I think 50yd accuracy might be pushing it. Pics of your rig...

Thanks guys!

Are these considered a jacketed or plated bullet? At my indoor range they prefer you use lead-only, but allow plated bullets. Just wondering if these would be permissible? Thanks for any help!

I'm no ballistics expert (and I'm sure one will correct me if I'm way off :D), but... I think a hot 9mm is pretty near the performance of a .45 (energy-wise, at least). No, you'll never get the same bullet size/weight, but I think 9mm is a very formidable defense round. I think a same-size...

I think I'm ready to delve into the realm of 1911's with one of these. Anyone know if there's an adj sight with which I can replace the stock one? Alternatively, I'm considering an STI Spartan. Thanks for any info.

Safe to say all (or the known, fix-able) bugs are worked out? Been browsing for a mini .380 for a while now. I'm having second thoughts on the Ruger, after the most recent, very broad recall. The Kahr seems as though it's never gonna come out. So I'm leaning back toward the Kel-Tec. I'd...

Hubster, I'm curious to hear some followup on your choices, if you could. I recently bought a Smith 442 (blued 642) for carry, mainly pocket. And although I love it functionally - dead reliable, 38+P punch... FOR ME, it doesn't quite meet "pocket" criteria. I'm a tall, thin guy, and in most...

I got a Millet SP-1 for my Buckmark Bullseye, and I've been very happy with it. It seems to have a crisper, rounder dot than most others (Ultradot included). It's light and compact, and the price is right, about $70 (Cheaper Than Dirt, Midway). I'm actually moving on to a different gun, but...
