My first carry piece was a NAA Guardian 380. I still carry it when the slacks I wear don't allow me to hide one of my 45's or 357SIG pieces. It is my Sunday-go-to-church piece also.
if the guy can tell from the muzzle end, a couple feet away, in a blink of a second what caliber you are pointing at them, then hand him your wallet. That kind of parlor trick deserves to be paid for.
I agree, conwict, KegCommando summed the answer to Q#2 up nicely.if the guy can tell from the muzzle end, a couple feet away, in a blink of a second what caliber you are pointing at them, then hand him your wallet. That kind of parlor trick deserves to be paid for.
southriseagain, what have you actually shot? What have you actually attempted to conceal? You would be surprised what can hide under slacks/jeans and an informal buttoned shirt. Add in how little attention people are actually paying to your beltline, and you can CC even a duty-size 9mm IWB. Perhaps you would save a lot of time and trouble if you took a try with a merely compact pistol, rather than insisting on a lilliputian pocket pistol.
Who likes 380 ACP? Anyone like it as a primary?
i've been looking into sub-compact 9mm's lately with the intention of doing cheap plinking, and to fulfill my need for a compact/subcompact/pocket.
Looking at the little guns i found the 9's to be a bit clunky, off-balance and ugly compared to the similar 380 acp's. So at the moment i find myself unintentionally considering a 380. (still open to the right 9 but i have another thread about that.)
i'm not a cop so quite frankly i will never carry 2 guns simultaneously.. i've never even needed the first one so 2 would definitely be overkill.
1. Do any of you use a 380 as your primary/only gun?
2. Do people laugh at you if you point it at them? (joke)
3. what will a 9mm do that a 380 wont? (i guess about a couple hundred ftlbs and fps but... practically?)
4. Where did all the 380 ammo go? is it coming back?

self defense distance is from 7' or less..
I think you should really give some honest thought to changing your wardrobe
