Man I just don't think I'm a .380 guy...

Having a hard time warming up to it. I really don't feel as well armed as with my .38 snubbie. I know it's in my head. I feel confident with my S&W but with the .380 I feel more like "well at least I have a piece". The .380 is a 6/7-shot too. A little Kahr P380 with night sights, a good one! It's so small and flat, almost too good to let go. I get in my mind to sell and can almost put it on GB but if I get it out and look at it I lose the urge. It's too handy to slip in your pocket and forget you have it.

I think the effective range is more limited compared to the snubby just because it's so small and hard to control. The smooth DA pull is the best in the business, the sights cannot be critiqued for a pocket piece, it's superbly accurate. I just have a time making that last little bit of pull on target. Perhaps I've found the limits of size and shootability. The .380's (pocket ones) are the size of the old .25 ACP's we had back when and weight even less! I carry it with ball as the penetration tests show .380 ball does not over penetrate in test goo, about 12". It likes the RN ball, not the flat tip SIG stuff, odd enough. It feeds it but the SIG 100 gr. ammo has less slide moving power than the Federal 95 gr., which is dead reliable.

I could sell it and get another toy if I can stop coon fingering it! I'll just use my Scandinum S&W M360 38.

*See I did it again, took it out to take a pic and thought "man that's nice!", I flip-flop.
