Help deciding between 2 .380's

[walkin' trails]

I have fired the Ruger and the Keltec. The Ruger was a little more shootable. Both were reliable, but I would tend to lean toward the Ruger for slightly better ergonomics. I still prefer a J frame over either.

Will you let me know how it does? My lgs has only gotten 2 of them and both came back with ftf issues

We finally got out to the range today to shoot the Glock 42. It's my wifes gun and I wanted to see how it fed Hornady Critical Defense - my chosen defensive round, and various fmj's. The range only had CorBon, and reloads for target ammo. The CorBon fed fine but the gun didn't like reloads AT ALL!!!!!
I thought my wife may have been causing the feed jams by limp wristing, but I couldn't get them to feed either for more than 1 round . After several misfeeds I pulled out my Bodyguard 380, unloaded the mag and put my Critical defense rounds in the G42...they fed fine.
We only had 30 minute to shoot because we got there just before closing. Going to have to go back for an extended session but I can tell you this:
The trigger is identical to my Glock 23.
Recoil is almost non-existant.
The weight and balance are a thing of beauty.
My wife loves it...and so I'm happy.

Nice, get a Nemesis for it and you're set.

Using a tagua iwb/owb leather holster at the moment. In negotiations with a guy about buying his used nemesis though
