nvm. I just spotted the carry round in your picture. I guess you found some! :tup:

I'm currently using this as my lil pocket rocket, KelTec P3AT .380, with CorBon DPX 80gr. Theyre the deepest penetrating .380 ever developed, have been tested to penetrate 12" + through denim and tissue, thats 9mm territory, not too bad! And life savers, yumm!

Yeah, I looked at five different 380s yesterday and none of them were perfect. The long trigger pull really takes some getting used to.
I still love my M&Pc for concealed carry, but when I'm just running out for a loaf of bread I don't want to put on a larger pair of jeans, a belt and then my IWB. This I slap on my ankle and be done.

The ammo shortage hasn't been too bad, the gun shop had both target ammo and the gold dot. They were $18 for target ammo and $20 for the gold dots.

I'm trying to get me one but everytime something comes up.

Like now I have to get $850 to paid for what is not cover by my deductible to replace my Heat Pump and Furnace. :mad:

In addition I need to get some stuff done to the Z before Zday. ;)

Try finding good 40 S&W ammo.

A Glock or Taurus. Shoot an used Glock about to weeks ago, pretty good. They were asking like $539 because it had some night "something". I'm not looking for nothing fancy just for protection in case is need it.

And go to the range and blow some steam. ;)

It's in abundance in my area. In fact, I personally have 150 rounds of carry ammo (2 boxes of Federal HST and 1 box of Winchester Ranger) and 100 rounds of target ammo sitting unused, as I no longer have a .40 in my collection.

Night "something"??? Night sights, maybe? $539 is a good price for a Glock with night sights. Taurus are garbage, IMO.

I used to be a glock guy until I bought a Smith and Wesson M&P, the ergonomics are far superior, have proven to be more reliable as per the 50,000 round torture test with zero failures, and the balance on the hand feels better. They cost around the same as well. I own 3:tup:

^well if you own 3 then give him 1, am i right?

Very nice, I have the .357c, .40, and 9mm Pro for competition, as much as I love the compact, its still a bit large and cumbersome to carry in the summer, save that one for the winter time, I can carry the P3AT in my basketball shorts, haha, love that little thing.

I have the 9 full size and the compact with CT laser. The compact is a little large, that's why I wanted a smaller 380 to supplement it with.
