But, I don't like the idea of another ammunition size to be concerned with, and I can see no advantages to the .380 over the 9mm. Right now I'm loaded with .357, .38, 30-30, .22, 12 ga, and 9mm. Don't need another one! Salmonbait ..380 has better availability than 9mm at the moment, but overall is more costly. It's a good round, but not as popular as the 9 |

He's one of them, down there with etc and one other, I think. It's a crying shame that you can't brag about your boat and post a gazillion pictures of it. |

Kahr makes a 9mm smaller than the ppk and many other 380's And is certainly made for the (much) smaller hand. It hurts like hell to shoot, if it fits in your hand like a derringer. You should try one out. It might surprise you. I have and they catch me right in the meat of the thumb. Hurts like hell. Ditto the Glock subcompacts; 26, 27, 29, 30, etc. . You ought to try a little.25 auto. They're definitely meat slicers Especially my wife's Bauer http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/9/...kelBauer25.jpg That's a cute little bugger! My North Carolina brother bought a .25 for his wife. I can't remember the make, but it's not a common name. Ammunition for it can be found on the web.

Indeed, i do spend a couple of hours a week handling, practicing and cleaning empty firearms. You happened to call when I was doing this. I'm not obsessive like Herring, though. I don't, for example, drive early in the morning to places that sell ammo to see if i can buy some. |
