Let's see some .380 pocket guns!

[MrJT]

We recently talked about .380 ammo for our carry guns. That was a lot of fun.

But now, let's see some .380 carry guns on this gun forum!

I like small .380s, they're a fun species. I personally have an LCP and had an older style bodyguard for a while. I like the LCP and can live with the trigger. It's fun too see what else is out there / what everyone else carries.

So let's see your .380s!

 

[USAF385]

Here are two:

My Kahr CW380 and my wife's Sig P238 rainbow titanium.

I'm a fan of the Kahr. Nice and small, a little shorter than the LCP and BG I used to own. Great trigger. It's striker fired and really outshines the hammer fired LCP/BG in my opinion. Second only to the trigger on my wife's P238. That's a pretty sweet shooter, just a little larger and heavier.









I've been keeping an eye out for a Seecamp .380... I'd really like to try that one out.

 

[MrJT]

Nice Kahr. Just looked it up, a little smaller than the LCP. The Sig, always nice. One of these days.... either the 238 or 938.

I've never heard of the .380 Seecamp. That looks interesting for sure. I won't be surprised if one shows up here.

MrJT, where's yours?

 

[jackvs1]

Here is my 380 pocket gun, surprised no other M&P's yet.

then there is an old classic 1908 Colt 380acp, manufactured in 1924.

 

[CaptRon956]

I love .380's. My first was a Colt Mustang pockelite back in the early 90's. I currently carry a M&P bodyguard .380 (no lazer).

I'm looking real hard at the Kahr CW380 as my next buy.

This is the type and sizes that I have planned to purchase next. My wife has taken an interest in the shooting, since she bought me my gun for Christmas. This would be more her style and for me to carry when we go get our CHL. Thanks for the pictures and topic. I enjoy looking and learning.

I have never been a big Taurus fan. That being said, my wife has been wanting a lighter EDC. She also wanted one that she could call her own and wasn't a hand-me-down. After a lot of research, I got her this Taurus 738 TCP for Christmas. It is light weight, it has a slide lock, the trigger is smooth and light, it is reliable (100% so far), not picky of ammo types and she shoots it well. Admittedly the target was only at 7 yards, but she shot some good groups. Mine are the three in the head. I'm still not a big Taurus fan, but I'm a believer in this pistol.

Here is mine. Thought i would share. Its a DiamondBack DB380.

AMT .380 Backup

Here's my AMT .380 Backup

I realized how dirty the grip area was after taking the photo. Had to go clean it. Geez.

 

[BarnStorm]

My KelTec. Had it two years now and it's serving me well.

I had one on those about 20 years ago. Don't remember why I let it go, never had any problems with it that I recall. Nice pistol.

Don't have any real good pictures of my Makarov IJ70, but here it is anyway. Been a great little pistol. My 4040PD is almost identical in size. Both are 7 + 1. .380 or .40, hmmmm, which one should I carry?

Absolutely LOVE that 4040!

Meeee to! Thanks!

My LCP is in there somewhere.

My FEG APK in .380 ACP and my Ranger made Walther PPK/S in .380 ACP. The Interarms FEG imports are some of the nicest finished pistols I've seen:

My S&W made Walther PPK/S:

My FEG AP in .380 ACP - another Interarms import with superb finish:

One of my Manuhrin made Walther PP pistols in .32 ACP - a former Justiz Wein police pistol:

My other police trade in Walther PP in .32 ACP:

My FEG APK in .32 ACP. This is a FGI import that lacks the superb finish of the Interarms imports:

 

[Redlegvzv]

My Sig P238. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Shown here with my S&W Shield.

Here's a pic of my bodyguard with laser inside a wallet holster.

Here is the only photo of my IMEZ IJ70-17A Makarov chambered in .380acp. The photo was taken six or seven years ago for a project. My better half provide the eyes.

BTW this is one under rated cheap little pistol. It always goes bang with whatever ammo is in the magazine.

 

[BB57]

I guess I could include this one as well:

A Lew Horton Flames Series Model 36-10, S&W made 225 of them in 2005:

I noted the same thing comparing my Walther PP and PPK/S pistols with their FEG AP and APK counterparts.

The chambers are more generously dimensioned in the FEG pistols, so they are a little harder on brass in terms of hand loading life, but the pistols themselves are relentlessly reliable and will eat anything you feed them.

Where do you hang your fuzzy dice? Seriously though, it is pretty cool looking. So this was chambered in .380?

Here's my m&p bodygaurd!!

 

[Buffalo Nichols]

No, I cheated the caliber, it's a .38 Special.
