RM380

[Buford57]

Couldn't help myself. I had one of these until my wife liberated it. Recently learned that the Rural King farm stores had them on sale for $265 and Big Green is offering a $50 rebate. For a palm size, made in USA .380, $215 was a no-brainer.




With a real mouse gun.

Nice one question is it a locked breech ?. I have a K el Tec and they are not a locked breech. Wierd cause I have their .32 and it is locked .

HUH? The KelTec 3AT is most definitely a locked breech design. The Ruger LCP is a refined upgrade of the design.

Nice pocket gun in a Recluse holster. $215 is a great price. Love mine.

The Remington is a locked breach. It is a refinement of the Rohrbaugh. Wife kept the Superfly, but I have an Uncle George pocket holster she didn't like.

Neat (and great pic with the mini-gun in there )!

The only thing I don't like about the Remington changes are the ambi button mag releases - this isn't an IPSC racegun, and the original butt release strikes me as more secure in the pocket.

Here's an original Rohrbaugh I had:

I had that thought, too, but never experienced any problems with unintended mag release. Could not say that about the Ruger LC9 or LCP.

The ambi mag release is a big reason I bought it as I shoot left handed...

Been following this model as I like these easily concealable semi-autos. Only heard of early complaints but many seem happy lately. Probably never see em in my state though. Ma. it figures!!

I hope I am using right term . By locked breech meaning the slide stays locked back on last round in magazine. My Kel tec .380 dosnt do that. Am I wrong?

Yes, you are incorrect. Locked breach refers to the operation of the pistol. The other common operating design in these guns is blowback, but the rm380 and similar are locked breach. What you are referring to is slide lock or last round hold open. When the empty mag engages the slide lock and keeps the slide open. Rm380 and LCP style guns do not usually have that feature. If I'm not mistaken, the LCP II does have this feature.

Gotcha thanks the Kel tech 380 is not but my Keltec .32 is locked

I'm a lefty too and the only .380 that had a mag pop out problem way my M&P from Smith. The LCP, which I've had about 6 months, has not experienced this in my pocket. I use the pocket holster that Ruger provided w/the little gun.

The irony of the bodyguard dropping the mag unintentionally is that it's so annoying to insert. You generally have to depress the button for the mag to seat properly. Smith needs to redesign that whole assembly.
