Anyone ever own a MPA 380

[OSU]

Masterpiece Arms makes a 380acp "Protector." They say it is the smallest 380 on the market. I own a Ruger SR9c which I love but it is a tad big for an everyday carry. So I am in the market for a more of a (hate the term) "pocket-pistol"." I am looking at 4 different guns.

Ruger LCP
Taurus TCP
S&W Bodyguard 380
MPA 380.

I am familiar with the LCP and BG380. I know the TCP is a knock off LCP and would probably be fine as well.

However, I like that the MPA 380 is the smallest 380 on the market, and has a good price point of around $250 new. I was curious if anyone had any experience with this gun. Shooting? Reliability? ect.

Thanks in advance

Hmm... interesting. I'd not heard of them until today. At $229 shipped, almost worth trying just to say you did.

Have to do some reading.

So far, it's all steel, which may or may not be a bad thing on a gun like this. The good is that it will help make the gun easier to shoot, by adding some weight. The weight also gets in the way of a pocket gun being effective.

ETA: made in USA..., 5+1 capacity, 11.3 oz
ETA: apparently, mag must be in to fire, or the hammer spring falls out.

Masterpiece Arms Looks like they have .32 and .380 versions.
