Pocket Pistol
Hey Everyone,
I'm getting a pocket pistol. Any thoughts on the Sigma 380?
There is one for sale that's in great shape. I can't seem to find out much about them. As always, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Not one of S&Ws' proudest moments, I'd save my money.

I have always liked the SW380. It is a shoot little - carry a lot pistol. Verify that it is reliable with the ammo of your choice, clean it and put it in your pocket until you need it. I have owned two and both have been perfectly reliable.

The SW380 is factory reconditioned. Can't hit squat with a J frame. I do much better with my 19, but it's too big for the pocket. So are my 469 and Sigma 9VE. I'm looking for a real pocket pistol, but not a .25 or .32. The KT 3AT jumps a little too much for my liking. I was thinking of the SW380 because its as heavy as a J frame airweight so it may not jump as much. Just want something I can put in my shorts pocket that won't hang out or print too badly.

I have had two of the .380's and one of the similar pistols in 9mm. A true PITA to clean, but all three of mine worked well and are still working for their current owners. These are not competition pistols by any means, but they will lob a bullet downrange... as long as the range is short.
The S&W #CS9 is only one ounce heavier than the SW380 and a considerably better handgun.
