[QUOTE="Go_Ordnance, post: 967681, member: 7266"] [url=http://okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75689]This is like deja vu all over again[/url] Bottom line up front: The P380 is a great little gun you can't go wrong with. Pro's: - Small enough to fit in your pocket. - Usable sights (and night sights available from Kahr) - Extremely accurate - Very manageable recoil and follow up shots - Slide locks back after last round Con's: - Kahr's can be finicky during break-in - Thumb can accidentally lock slide back during firing - A little pricey The comparisons will inevitably come up. I have a P380 and a PM9. I used to have an LCP. P380 vs PM9 (assuming you can only have one!) Unless you have a "generous" waist size, the PM9 is just a bit too big for pocket carry. The PM9 obviously offers more bullet in only a slightly larger package. [url=http://kahr.com/dtlimg_kp3833vsmp9.html]LINK to size comparison[/url] If you're going to carry IWB, the PM9 is probably a better choice although it's more expensive. P380 vs LCP Size-wise, they're a wash [url=http://kahr.com/dtlimg_kp3833vsp3at.html]Link to size comparison with P3AT[/url]. You can lock the slide back on the LCP, but it doesn't lock back automatically after the last shot. The Kahr does. The P380 has better sights, and you can add night sights.
