I have 2 boxes of Win Ranger 38+P+ jHP RA 38110HP+.. Picked up at gun show couple years ago but never had occasion to try any in my model 19-3 or 60-14.. Maybe I will now out of curiosity.. Back in the day, when my department authorized .357 ammo, My load of choice was the Win 145 gr...

I would consider the Kahr k9 you mentioned if in good shape.. I have a k9 03elite and smooth as butter.. NYPD authorized the Kahr k9 for off duty carry for years.. $350 would be about right

I guess the LCP is an okay bug gun.. it can be had cheap but is ammo sensitive and not recommended for the hot .380 loads, if there is such a thing. I own a Kahr p380 and it digests any .380 ammo and is accurate beyond expectations. Pricey but quality all the way.. IMHO, has to be the leader...
