If I wanted/needed a .380, I'd buy the S&W Bodyguard before a block!!!

Joe, my buddy has had a keltec 380 for several years now and loves it. He had it reworked over by keltec and it has never had an issue. Personally, I would go the bodyguard or Ruger route for a pocket 380.

Is a 380 worth having in your pocket? Well, it's better than a thumb up your hoohah when you need it.

I have the 42, and several other Glocks.
I also have the PM380 and PM9.
Plus I have shot several other 380's like the LCP that I think was the worse of the bunch. It is small but not pleasant to shoot. The Kahr 380 is much nicer and very small. Also shot my nieces micro eagle. Didn't like it. So let's come back to the 42 now. It is the largest of the 380's I have played with. It is very Glock. And has the worse trigger of any Glock I own or have shot. Not awful, just stiffer and crunchy feeling. But the gun is very nice to shoot. Must be the size. Plus the gun would be very easy to carry. The only reason I keep it is to let the women I know shoot it. It makes a wonderful lady's firearm because of size and recoil.

My sweetie carries the PM9 and likes the gun a lot. She has shot many rounds thru it and it is her daily carry piece. Because of it I picked up the kahr 380 when I found a guy selling it used.

I think it is all marketing, Glock will sell the crap out of the 42 before it will introduce a 9mm single stack. And at that point I will pick one up. I already have the G36 and G42 singles. My G36 gets carried allot. And why? Because when it gets banged around and used as a tool I don't feel near the heartache I do when I have my CCO with me. Can we talk about Dan Wessons some more?

I just don't do pocket carry...if I ever did it would be a Ruger LCR, left rear pocket, in .357. You know, for when a street chubbie tells me he wants my wallet.

I am stuck on the 1911 format. Not a fan of DA, do not like finger biter little guns(keltec for example) that are painful to shoot and I do not understand what the function of the little tang on the trigger is about. I have never fired a G and have no interest in having a loaded gun of any kind in my pocket, especially one with no safety. I have a 9 and a 45 SA XDs but I am unwilling to carry them. Should I be jumped by some scumbag I do not want a just pull the trigger situation in my pocket or in my holster. I am way to ignorant to be posting anything in this thread other than please explain this to me. Dennis

My Wife picked the Sig P238 when we went shopping for her pistol. I wanted her to have something she would carry, rather than something she would make excuses not to... It has worked out great, then the Sig P938 came along. With the P938 being about identical in size save for a slightly longer slide/barrel (we are talking 3/4 of an inch if that...) it makes for a great compact and pocket 9mm She still carries the P238, but I use the P938 as a BUG in either front pocket of everything from jeans to cargo shorts.

Sorry for the crappy pics, but here is the size differences between the P238 (.380) and the P938 (9mm):

Dennis, these are 1911 format and I carry the P938 regularly in the pocket in a holster of course (Panther Concealment Panther Cub) I find it just as safe as on the hip IWB/OWB carry, just am always conscious of where the muzzle is pointing when I am seated.

Thanks. I should figure this out by the time I get back to warm weather in Florida on 1/10. I like my SA XDs 9MM. I loved it when it would shoot fully auto, the entire magazine. Nearly crapped my pants the first time but then got into the game and stuck the extended mag into it. The RO was a little po ed but wanted to try it of course. It has a very predictable trigger since SA reworked it. Still I am concerned about a lack of safety and do not feel comfortable carrying with a round in the tube. I still have not even fired the .45 RA XDs. I would be really pissed to be shot with my own gun. I know I must be missing something about the little tangy thingee on the trigger. I seem to be wanting to go bigger and more rounds for carry although my WC plastic Spec-Ops 9 is still at my FFL and may not be the ticket I think it will be. I really love my DW ECO 9MM for carry and it is the right choice for me now as I shoot it more effectively than any other I own.

Saw a couple in my LGS this afternoon. I'll be honest and say right off the bat that I don't like Blocks, that being said the only purpose that I can see for a .380 is the small size and the block ain't that small.

Discussing manufacturer's and calibers is like discussing Harley Davidson vs non or Ford vs Chevy vs Mopar. Difference of opinions and all are valid.

My choices, likes, and dislikes are validated by need and what I've seen come through the range in the past 20 years. There are some manufacturer's and calibers I will never ever get or carry.
As been mentioned by others I'm also not a .380 fan. I'd rather carry a .38 that a .380 and I do. I'm also not a fan of pocket guns. I only carry a smaller gun as back up. To me they're OS guns.
To that end, if and when Glock makes a slim 9 I will be picking one up.
