Long Barrels and .380 Auto

[ZeSpectre]

I know that most guns in .380 tend to be smaller and intended for the easily concealed SD role but does anyone make a bigger (longer barreled) handgun for this round? Say something with a good 5" or 6" barrel?

I have no particular purpose in mind, just wondering if such a gun exists.

5-6 inch barrel? Maybe 4inches or so. But no, nothing comes to mind regarind 5-6 inch barrels in the .380.

Does CZ make a ~ 5" barrel .380?

Browning did, the 1922 for the Dutch and others, enlarged from the 1910. They kinda sorta resurrected it in 1971 to pass the import requirements of GCA '68. To gain import points it had a longer barrel, adjustable sights, thumb rest grips and probably some other bells and whistles. Didn't sell and was only on the market til 1974.

That's one neat looking firearm.

The Browning 1971 is a 4 7/16" barrel and is the longest .380 I know of. Probably the longest production model currently available is the Beretta Cheetah. These are my model 1971's.

PT59, same size as the PT92/Beretta92/M9:

It is currently in production.

I opened a thread about this same subject a while ago. Big .380 guns are hard to find nowadays.

Thanks for the pointer, I searched on long barrel but not large frame so your thread didn't show up for me.

Just click on the word "thread" in his post..It is a link.

I'm saying when I did a search before I started this thread I didn't find anything.

Beretta 86 Cheetah had a 4.6 " tip up barrel.
