I need a .380 pistol options

[nerdalert]

i think smith and wesson makes a 9mm that is almost the exact same size as the keltec .380, maybe 3oz heavier and a half in. overall larger. but it is a little hard to handle (for my ex wife anyway) due to it having such a small grip.

I think you are referring to the M&P 9c compact. This is my choice, it is small and easy to conceal. I remember looking at a Kahr 9mm that was very nice and even smaller than mine.

buy a smith and wesson revolver those never jam and they allways go off! i know it's old but i'm a gun nutt too lol.

Yea, i havent ruled this out. Im gonna rent her a 38 special or somn-somn next time we go to the range.

"Colt" makes my ass pucker, cause its gonna cost me. I agree u get what u pay for though... short term, something is better than nothing though. Untill i figure out excatly what i want to get her, and have the scratch!

My buddy told me to buy a m&p.....

Kahr is a good size.. That trigger pull on them is fkn gay though

snug nose revolver(wheel gun) maybe hammerless, you can get a 357 mag and it will fire 38 special rounds. taurus is a bargain.

i love my colt .45, my father and i actually built it when i was 7. that gun is the best wepon i have ever owned, and i want it in my casket when i die.

Ruger-good gun for the money. You got a bad one. None of mine jam ever. P98 DC, Mini 14, 22 match pistol..semi..

Glock 40 s, Sig..awesome..pricey.

Taurus..just fine. Used to be Baretta. Brazil kicked the italian s out and kept the molds.

Your Ruger has issues..a .22 is a lethal fukkin round..waaaay underrated.

Never buy a weapon you can t afford to practice with. 22 and 9 mm ammo is most common ammo on the planet.

Personal favorite..my 686 6-inch .357 mag stainless Smith handcannon. I had to surrender it due to penetrative properties (for a Glock 40), concern s over background and uniformity of ammo within the team.

Air Marshal s are carrying 357 semi s ..not magnums..semi auto..spensive though.

I bought my girl a kel tec 9mm. Its real small,fits in her purse. I've never had it jam or missfire. I looked at the. 380. That's a real small gun. It would fit in her front pocket

My GF is an ER nurse and they get a lot of fatalities from a 22 because it bounces around in the body, but not much knock down power. They did have a lady shot in the head 11 times with a 22 and none penetrated the skull so she lived.

I've got a Glock 22 40cal with intergated laser sight. I love it.

She can bump up to a 9mm without gaining much in the size or weight categories. I'd take a hard look at the Taurus TCP PT709 and the Kel-Tec PF9. Find a gun range where you can rent the model you're looking for and then have her put some rounds down range with any you want to test. Pick the one she shoots with the best and is most comfortable with.

Once she buys it make sure she trains with it frequently. One factor to keep in mind is the cost for ammo. 9mm is about half the price of .380 auto these days.

I would probably get a Glock , model 27 ,

I bought my wife a 27 and I have a 22 with 15 round magazine.The 27 is too small for my hands but perfect for her.The 27 packs quite a punch in a small package.

The only thing I don't like about Glocks is you can't safely carry them Mexican style.

Bro, i metioned these two earlier.. Ive had my eye on that taurus 9 pt slim for 3 months!... Its sexy. Im waiting untill my local gun range gets it in, so i can shoot it

If you are looking at .380 for around $300, have you looked at Bersa?
I would post a link but apparently I am not smart enough.

Checked these out too. Looked like they would be a fun/shooters gun. However, Too big to lug around(purse)

i also have the same one, same laser, and an extended clip for the house....great gun isnt it Chip! i have always loved .45 and never shot too many .40's, took a few clips to get used to it, but i am loving it now!

 

[juced_porkchop]

Basically i bought a 22/Rugar(new) for my girl and couldnt even shoot the piece of shit. It was jambing up/tried a couple different options of ammo, and the clip isnt going in all the way/staying in. So, now i have to send it in.

I need something for her to carry in her purse. She is a damn good shot too. I got about $300 to spend/and a safety would be good too

Kel-tec ?
Diamond back ?
Taurus ?

Rugar sucks my dick

why do amaricans "NEED" a gun in there boot or purse. most of the rest of the world is doing just fine with a fist, brick or knife.
no offence ment.
I just find it funny how just because of a braul many years ago and a law (that i feel is out dated) was made giving all patrons the right to bare arms. is still in effect when most people shouldent even be driving.
I feel the law shoudl eb changed. its liek saying "HEY i want him hanged for walking in the white peoples door to the bar" because some point in time that was the law, things change. if usa is invaded i assure you a gun aint gonna do shit at this point it will be a whole city or block blown up...

again no attack directed at you, just venting i guess. lol

 

[juced_porkchop]

BUT! if it was m,e id get a Desert Eagle special edition. but for her she would need to carry around a duffel bag lol
