favorite small arms..really small arms?

[Stevie]

What's your favored small pistol to concealed carry such as Keltecs..Ruger LCP..Seecamp..etc?

I was packing either a Bauer .25 or an FN Browning 1906 .25..and recently upgraded to a Beretta Tomcat .32acp.

A lot of folks in my area favor the Keltecs in either .32 or .380...I know one guy..a firearms instuctor who packs a Taurus PT-22..

Best one I ever owned was a Walther TPH, .22 auto (German made). Made like a Swiss watch, very accurate, and functioned perfectly. Beautiful little gun.

1908 Colt vest pocket .25

I very rarely carry this "small arm" because I don't want to take the chance of scobbibg it up or something.

I do, however, carry it on occasion. I feel confident with it out to about 7 yards but not so much with it's stopping power. It is just a very slick little gun that is fun to shoot, great mechanically and the bore is shiny and has sharp rifling. I have shot a couple of boxes of blazer FMJ 50 grain rounds through it with no malfunctions of any sort.
It just won't be taking the place of my 37 any time soon for primary use.
Peace,
Gordon
This picture was taken before I cleaned it up. The stuff on the trigger guard and on the slide was stuff from the inside of the nylon holster that it was in and it all came off. This gun was manufactured in 1922.

BG .380 i love it.

 

[KarmannGhia]

Prior to getting my Ruger LCP (and Dept policy requiring minimum .380 for "authorized" OD or BACK UP carry). I loved my Beretta Jetfire. I know it's .25 acp, but it's 8 rounds (I figured a magazine dump into my target would fix my target's desire to do me harm)

I'd never carry it as a defensive arm (I've got J-frames for small concealable carry) but I like pocket autos, particularly Berettas.

Db 380 , great lil pistola . Size of my I phone . 6 in mag and one in the
Chamber . 3 dot sight system and accurate ........7 oz dry .

 

[TACC1]

MPA .380. As small as a .25 ACP. Less than 12oz..
If it hurts as much on the other end, it must be a winner!

Nice mouse gun, Gordon. There was a twin to yours for sale locally and I was watching it with keen interest. The guy said it was a family heirloom, but he needed money and was asking $375 for it. I know very little about the value of them, but I know I like the way it looks.

My favorite .380, my Sig P238 Equinox.

 

[Martimus]

My smallest carry weapon is an old Colt Mark IV Model 80 Government model .380

Though I prefer my 9mm Shield as my EDC weapon, the GM380 is smaller and quite comfortable to carry.

My favorite small arms belong to my daughters, especially when they're wrapped around their daddy's neck.

 

[S. Hammer]

World's smallest Mall Ninja pistol.

This backs up my pen knife: .25 Beretta 21a

I remember when I first got my Seecamp I played with it off and on for several days. Unloaded of course, don't need any more ADs like I had with a 44 mag. When I picked up any other gun like a 1911 for instance it felt like a Desert Eagle. Also have a Beretta 21a 22lr that is larger.

 

[KarmannGhia]

I love really small guns. But they are like mopeds (fun, but not for serious work, and your friends will make fun of you for using them).

Top row: 22LR, middle row: 22short, bottom row: 25acp

My LCP is my carry mouse gun now.

 

[pawncop]

I qualified once (I stress once) with my North American Arms 22/22 Mag. It is very small, very concealable and a real b**** to qualify with.

I have also qualified with a Beretta Tomcat. It is not a bad sidearm, but I upgraded to the Colt Mustang in 380 ACP. Basically the same size but 380 ACP vs. 32 ACP.

 

[CW Spook]

Beretta 21A, .22lr...actually gets carried quite a bit, in a Robert Mika pocket holster. Beretta in the right front pocket, keys and SAK in the left.

 

[BearBio]

Somebody owed me $25 bucks one time and gave me a Beretta in 22 short. I like .25s also, Just picked up my second Vest Pocket. I refer to these as my wrestling guns because I'd have to be wrestling someone in order to use them.

My wife just started carrying a Bersa Thunder in .380. Remarkably good gun for the money. As a result, I got my Walther PP back. Carried it yesterday. But I still mostly carry a j-frame or Officer's acp.

Oh, I forgot. We have a Davis .25 derringer for SASS side matches if I could find some cast bullet loads.

Another senior moment: I was keeping 5 out of six in the belly area of a Zombie target yesterday at 7 yards.
