    Default Observations on the New Line of 380 pocket Pistols

    I have had the opportunity to see a lot of the new current must have gun item (Along with hi cap Glock Mags) the 380 Pocket pistol.. I have gotten to examine several models of the Sig P238, Ruger LCP, Smith & Wesson Bodyguard and the Kahr P380...I have noticed a Wide Discrepancy in the price (So it pays you to shop around..Comparing from places like Gunbroker, Trops, Horseshoe Pike and Shydas..There is a big price difference...New features seem to be added almost daily.. Night sights, Lasers, all black finishes, Rainbow finishes... and now +1 mags...So with this in mind Are you going to take the plunge and pick up the Newest of the New???

    I've been thinking about looking into one of those. Post your thoughts on it later?

    I actually like the Rainbow Finish.. I had read somewhere that no two of them are the same (LOOK) .. Because of how the finish is Applied... Have you seen the Equinox in 380.. I have an Equinox in 45 and it is a blast to shoot... I personally think my Equinox(45) is to bulky to EDC..(I prefer my G 23, Shoulder holster) or my Kahr PM 9 With Black Diamond finish in my front pocket inside a small holster... A Question...I wonder about the Size of the Equinox compared to the other Sig 380's...

    Glad to... Another Question for all the Readers.. How do you Plan to carry your 380??? Some of my friends want to carry it in their shirt Pocket(Like a pack of Cigs).. NO holster...Do you think this is a safe way to carry???

    I briefly thought about getting a Taurus TCP for pocket carry, but after reading of problems with them I changed my mind. I'll be buying a Kahr CM9 when they become available, with the Kahr PM9/CM9 and the several other pocket sized 9mm's coming out, I just don't see the point of a .380 pocket pistol anymore.

    Not safe in my book. Pocket holster or a smart carry works really well for super small guns.

    Do yourself a favor and do some research on the DB380. Have been hearing/reading alot of negatives about it.

    Very happy with SIG P238. Well worth the purchase.
