[QUOTE="okeydoke, post: 2919354, member: 41320"] if you can't tell the difference between SA and DAO, yes, you might as well stick with the Kahrs. The Micro 9's ducktail frame tang offers better protection for the cocked hammer and for your hand than does the P938. Both guns, tho, need trigger overtravel stops and speed extensions to the thumb safety. Many need skilled ministrations to the trigger pull, too. Get a spare barrel and have it rechambered to take the Starline 9x21 case. That's another .040" of case length. Use it with a very lw bullet that has a giant, cone shaped cavity in its base and you can have 2200 fps and 500 ft lbs of power in your pocket gun, while having no more recoil than a Makarov. Not bad in something that's smaller and lighter than a .38 snub! 45 grs at 2200 fps is what the old .22 Hornet load delivered at 100 yds, where it will dump big canines with authority. At self defense ranges (ie, sub 5 yds) you can get 4 hits in half a second and the split nose offers 2 diverging wound tracks with each hit. [/QUOTE]
