What .380 pistol would you like to see made in 9mm?

[TexAg]

Ditto the Makarov and the Colt.

Albanian - How about an LWS9 (Seecamp!)

Another vote for the SIG P232.

 

[Frandy]

Yup...a 232.

 

[Marshall]

Which 380 offered as a 9mm? All of them.

+1

I would like to see the Taurus PT-58
made in 9mm.

Isn't the PT917C a 9mm version of the PT58HC? Not sure if it's avaliable in the USA, though.
But then, there must be countless of similar 9mm pistols in avaliable up there...

 

[Alan Fud]

Another vote for the PPK and BDA380

 

[distra]

BDA 380, but I guess a HI-power has that covered

 

[lee n. field]

Makarov . But that would take a complete redesign to make it usable (fixed barrel blowback to locked breach (or something else?)).

The PT917C looks like it's more the size of a PT92, at a 41/2" barrel and 17 rounds. The PT58 is a good bit smaller, a clone of the Beretta 84. Not much larger than a PPK

Wasn't there an attempt at a 9x19 Makarov, using a grooved chamber to achieve a sort of delayed blowback effect?

Yup. And from what I read, it was pretty fierce to shoot. Never imported. Details on Makarov.com, I think.

 

[FireBreather01]

The CZ83!!!

 

[Working Man]

Another for the Walther PPK/S.

 

[Makarov380]

+1 for Makarov

 

[45auto]

Colt goverment 380.

I still can't understand why no one has done it yet.

1911'ers are fanatics , spend more money than most on a single pistol and buy more than one. And it's a growing market. What else is needed?

I agree. Why can't someone effectively scale down a 1911 in 9mm. There is the STI LS9, but it's not quite right for some reason. http://www.stiguns.com/guns/ls/ls.html

40,000 psi for one.
effective enough recoil retardation for another.
slide weight
There are probably too many to make it feasible at reasonable $$

Buy a Rohrbaugh.

> Colt goverment 380.

You mean like this?

 

[Pug Puppy]

Makarov
Any Mauser pocket auto from 1896-1945
Browning BDA.
Ortgies
Beretta 64/Taurus clone
CZ83
PPK/S
Colt 1903

But that's the point. If Rohrbaugh and Kahr can do it, why can't someone do it with a 1911?

 

[TooTech]

Mauser Hsc

 

[Dr_2_B]

Kel-tec P3AT. Remember the marginal size-increase when they moved up from .32 to .380? I'd do somersaults to see a similar move in the 9mm. Looks like the PF-9 is a couple steps bigger than that.

 

[SapperLeader]

bersa thunder .380. to a 9mm. By that I mean a singlestack bersa 9mm not that fat doublestack version of the thunder.
