    Default Mouse gun - Can't decide

    I want to get a small 32 acp or 380 for carry. I can't decide between the following. I want the most reliable of the bunch. I moved to MA 2 months ago, so it has to be MA compliant (which is why I can only choose from these).

    Seecamp .32
    tomcat .32
    AMT backup 380
    SW bodyguard 380
    Bersa Thunder 380
    Colt Mustang pocketlite .25 (found one near me)
    NAA guardian 32

    Any thoughts?

    Is the LCP or P32 an option in MA? I'd suggest either of those over any of the guns you have listed.

    You can find them now and then on Gunbroker, but only ones that were police trade ins. Since they are more rare, they usually go for 400-500. I just dont like the idea of spending 200 more.

    My Beretta .32 has served me well over the years.

    I'm guessing the Keltec line is not MA compliant?

    Keltec P-32, or if you don't mind the "kick" Keltec P3AT. I've owned both. Currently prefer the P32. Can't beat it for size and weight. Used ones go for about $200, but I recommend you just spend another $40 for new and get the lifetime warranty.

    Out of your list the Secamp is the best but the most expensive. Second choice would be the NAA 32ACP (not the 32NNA).

    Even though I'm a fan of AMT, I'd skip the AMT Backup 380 because of it's weight. Mine is heavier than lite-weight J-framed revolver.

    If you have the bucks, looks at the Sig Sauer P238. It is a SAO with night sights. Chambered in a 380.

    bingo
    real night sights, usable trigger, real workable controls, handles well for being so tiny. I was making IPSC "A" zone shots at 30+ yards with mine prone the other week just to see if it could do it..... and it can if you can.

    heres mine in a www.atomicdogholsters.com AIWB rig

    I would love a sig p238. They just became MA compliant as well. I just don't know if i can afford a $700 carry gun. I was hoping to keep it under $500.

    Not sure if this is NAA or NNA, I think its NAA

    I don't think they made a colt mustang in .25? I believe they were .380's. I would go with the mustang if it is indeed a .380 or the sig p238 (identical twin to the mustang). Out of the list I heard good things about the bodyguard.
