WHile I love the PPK, I have found it just too large for my pocket carry. I went on a pocket pistol hunt this weekend at pawn shops, gun stores, and even a gun show. My final choice will be my CCW firearm, so I will buy what is comfortable and suits me. The price will not matter as much as my ability to handle and hit where I aim. The 3 choices I came out with at the end of the day that I would consider for me are the following...
Kahr 380 - I noticed it was a bit heavier pistol, & I liked the feel of this pistol over the KelTec. It was pretty stiff new, & the range owner said to expect about 3-400 rounds before it would break-in and work jam free. Is this true and should be expected? I was told the blowback design would mean less recoil? I have never owned a Kahr and know little about them.
Micro Desert Eagle 380 - Sure is an ugly pistol, but I liked the feel after handling it. The Micro was also all metal and had heft to it.
KelTec P3AT A friend of mine owns one of these. To tell the truth I couldn't hit much with it. I blamed it more on the lightweight therefore more recoil. The others above weigh more, & I would expect them to have less recoil. True?
Pick from these three for me if price was NOT a factor. The Ruger LCP is not a choice until I can see one and see better reviews on it. For now I am leaving it out.
