Inexpensive Police BUG....suggestions

[PCRCCW]

Well.......I carry a Mak in a pocket holster. Works...but I took the Red Star grip and reshaped it a tad..........
I voted Mak, but you have lots of great choices.......the snub is another fav.
Shoot well.

I have a Keltec P32 that has been 100% reliable since day one. Very accurate at 5-7yards, and a pleasure to shoot. It is carried in a DeSantis wallet holster and is virtually invisible.

If the wardrobe I'm wearing allows a larger pistol I prefer the KelTec P11, with belt clip. It also has been 100% reliable* and accurate at self defense range.I have a S/W J Frame Smith (Model 638) that is CT laser equipped and while I am very pleased with it I cannot reconcile having 5 38 spec. rounds when I can have 11 9MM rounds in the same size package.

I keep reading where KelTec's always need "fluff n' buff", or a return to the factory before they are accurate and reliable, but that simply has not been my experience. I am well pleased with both.

With even more room for hiding I use my Sig P239 which is more accurate than any of the others, and has been 100% reliable from day one. Day one being as soon as they released them for sale to the public many years ago. The Sig is simply the best of all my firearms by a large margin.

* The KelTec P11 has malfunctioned with Wally World White box ammo. But then so has my Walther P1 and Star BM. I find that the WWWB ammo varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some batches are wonderful, so less so. I would NEVER consider using WWWB ( )for a carry round..... (CorBon's work very nicely for that...) Apparently I'm not the only one who has had problems with WWWB as my new neighbor has had the same experiences...

FWIW, I picked up a very cherry S&W model 37-2 Airweight for only
$225 complete with an Uncle Mikes IWB holster.

But another good suggestion for a BUG is the small Seecamp .32 ACP.
Although kind'a pricey, its quite small but heavier than a Kel-Tec.

Colt Mustang series or if want to spend less get a Bersa 380 new CC model coming this summer.

Still looking and here is an update.

MAK is great, but out, since it is only slightly smaller than my 225.

The Charter and Taurus's are going head to head, S&W is out, WAY too expensive. Kahr is out, price.

Kel Tec P11...will take some research. I would love to get a reliable one of these.

Maybe a Taurus Millenium Pro....I'd like to try one first.

It is very hard to beat the S&W air weights for a reliable and powerful pocket gun. I have a 642 but the 638 would be a great choice as well. My dad has the 638 and I think I would prefer that to mine.
