Bob - I did notice the lower racking force (recoil spring) on their website. She liked that. Im sure she will get a 686 or sp101 in the future.

 

9x19 - im sure shed still rather some diamonds unfortunately for me lol.

My questions weren't about whether or not you like. 380. Thanks again. For contributing nothing

 

I don't see Frank making the point of if he like it or not but what that type of gun is good for. I do have a BG380 for CCW when out of the PR of NJ, however I will say, if I didn't have it for CCW I would not have it at all. Yes is a nice shooter, but it's a pocket gun, it's really not a range gun other than learning how it shoot and getting used to it.

 

I'll also say, I could put 400-500 or more rounds or more of .40S&W through my other gun in an afternoon and be ready do to it day after day with no problems at all.

 

The small size and the less weight, inherent with pocket sized carry guns, I would not want to do that. Now you say this is not for you but her I think I remember reading. Well I can tell you, she might like the looks, she might like the feel, she may even like putting a few rounds down range with it, but do not expect her to want to shoot it as much as she would like if it was a properly weighted gun vs caliber in the long run.

Harry uses USAAmmo .380 - works well through his S&W Bodyguard 380. $11/box

Sure does, and Hornady CD works very well also.

Hope she enjoys her new gun .My husband and I have a great time shooting together. It is SO much better and easier when you both enjoy a hobby like this

 

I have heard good things about Walther and ergonomics . As another girl , and one with small hands , I can say when she goes to look at revolvers try the Model 60 J frame. The 686 was a bit cumbersome for me ( Pete has one) . The Model 60 J frame was a nice compromise for me between a 6 " with less recoil that I could not wrap my hands on , and a snubbie that fit well but felt like I was driving nails with the heel of my hand I have the 3" barrel version.

 

The other guns in my long search for small hand friendly guns were CZ ( my husband has a CZ 75 and it fits my hand great and is really nice to shoot) and S&W M&P series. It has a dovetail on the frame so you can get a small hand nice and high on the grip without getting slide bite , plus it comes with interchangeable backstraps. The small worked great for me.

 

Again , enjoy !

Harry:

 

The PK380 is NOT a pocket gun. It is proportionately sized for the caliber and is a full-sized gun slightly scaled down. Given that it isn't a blow-back design it should be relatively pleasant to shoot also.

 

Sheesh, you say .380 and everybody wants to pile on Good to have met you, finally, on Saturday.

 

Adios,
