Sold all my pocket 9s for one .380 and am happy about it!

[SloChicken]

I recently ran an ad to sell 2 of my 3 pocket 9s - all 3 were for sale, and I figured I would keep the one that didn't sell.

I posted both my Kahr PM9 and Beretta Nano for $550 each (the Kahr was used but in good shape, and the Nano was basically new with Trij night sights and an extra FDE frame - both with orig boxes and 2mags each).
They were SPF immediately to one sale.

I also listed my 938 which I really like, but the single-action, cocked and locked mode doesn't pass muster for me as a pocket pistol. They don't have a grip safety, which I feel is mandatory for a safe carry in condition 1.
So, though I loved the feel of the pistol, and its amazing trigger, I posted it for a "make me sell" price of $1400.
Amazingly, it sold in 2 days.
And I couldn't walk from the loot, so it sold too.

Problem being, this only left me with a 642, which is a great revolver, but a little bulky in width so off on the hunt I went.

Strangely, I was looking for something a bit smaller than my PM9, which was just about perfect, but ever so slightly too big for pocket carry in jeans etc.

I ran across a p380 in the ads. I loved my pm9, and only complaint (which was hardly a complaint) was that it was ever so slightly too big.

Below are pics of the PM9 vs the size of a P380

but most importantly, and this is for you RabidTool, I am happy to see that Hickock approves of the P380.
Ringin' the gong at 80yds no less haha!



Lookin' forward to shootin' this little guy!

I thank you for hearing my cool starry, bra !!!

Good review actually and really reinforces that this little guy will be as good as my PM9 was

Awesome link, thanks for the info! I love my cute little pocket .380's. (Glock 42, Sig p238). Think I might add a Kahr p380 to the collection!

Glad you're happy with your choice. Neither of us would be happy with each other's.

haha!

What are you carrying?

I like most all firearms, but I needed something small as possible and still be effective (i.e. no 32acp or less).

It's hard for me to justify the purchase of a pocket pistol. Because I live in an area where we will never get a concealed permit for any reason. If I were able to obtain one, then the thought of purchasing one of those would be a lot more interesting to me

$1400 for a 938? I r cornfuzed.

[stevemac]

Wow, now THAT is easy to conceal

I have 10 on my permit, but my Shield 9mm gets the most time, by far. Car/truck guns are Glocks, and I carry a G26, 30, or 36 when not carrying the Shield.

I agree, but hey, it is what the market will bear for a 938 Scorpion these days.
Craziest, thing, but who am I to argue. I put it up for a "make me sell it" price, and well, I got two offers in 3 days.
So, there is that ...
Maybe you have heard of this one revolver called a Python ??? LOL, not that it even pretends to be a python, but the concept is the same.

I paid about $700 OTD for it a couple years ago. Gave it to my mom, and she couldn't rack the slide, so she gave it back to me. I shot it at the range, and carried it in a IWB a bit, but always felt my 10rd compacts were a better option.

I loved the little 938, but again, not too cool with a condition 1 carry in my pocket unless it had a grip safety as well, to say the least. I really don't think it is all that safe to carry cocked in locked even in a holster without a grip safety IMO.

I have IWB sized pistols, and really need a deep conceal/pocket carry - so as I mentioned earlier, this little .380 will fit the bill well.

Good job op. I recently bought a Kahr and enjoy the smooth, albeit long, trigger.

[Erion929]

Congrats!

I just bought a G42 for the wife to use....can't wait to pick it up next week. Should be a fun little gun to shoot....was amazed at the small size

Wife carries both the PM9 and the P380. loves them both, prefers the 9 but the 380 works better with some of her outfits. Which ever one she isn't carrying on her body she purse carries.

I just picked up a Bersa Firestorm 380.. Kinda like a PPK copy. Sweet for conceal. $299 at Turners. Every review I've ever seen has been nothing but positive. My wife likes it too, she's making me buy another.

Ive never had a 380 before, but I'm in love. Fun round. like a 9mm short.
