I've thought about getting a small pistol for my mom as mentioned here:
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=82485
So a kel-tec is recommended and I went to the store to see one. Picked up the .32, which was the only one they had. I liked it, I liked it alot. Comfortable, small, and a good punch for the size. Then he tell me the .380 is marginally bigger, so I look it up on kel-tecs site. Its a hair bigger, seems small/light so I decide this is it. I call a few other store see if they have one in stock,..
only to hear stores say its a bad gun, don't bet my life on it. Now I know the kel-tec is picky on ammo. However from what I'm read on the kel-tec owners forum they work well if the ammo is carefully picked and the gun worn in.
Now this is my mother's life we're talking about, more important to me then my own. I would just give her my .38 special if she'd use it but she won't. Assuming I go with the .380 and something like a Winchester Silvertip is this going to be reliable and safe?
