Got to admit, they are tiny, sleek little buggers. Although I carry my .45 on occassion, I find that these P38T just slide into your pocket and one almost forgets you have them there. I consider them an extension to my fist...last resort bugs that I intend to use at point blank range. Got me one of the new K&D pocket holsters...not leather...but of the new "gripper" material. The weapon breaks in at about 200 rounds. I practice with & carry the all copper DPX bullets, thoroughly clean after every 50 rounds...replace springs at 500 rounds.
