    I currently own a Glock model 22.
    I am looking for a good bug.
    Any suggestions?
    I am thinking a .32 0r a .380.
    Please add your opinions.smaller or larger caliber.

    I really like my Beretta 3032. At 25 feet I can put all seven in a 5 inch target with no problem. It has never failed to feed or eject. Fits in a pocket holster well. It is my favorite CCW gun.

    I go with the 9mm pf9 or the 380 P3AT both by Kel-Tec
    Your mileage may vary, but I find the 380 fits in my pants whilst the 9mm fits, but is just too bulky and ends up in a holster on my ankle most of the time.
    I've found both guns to be acceptable as a backup. When I go backpacking this fall the PF9 Will go as my primary.

    I carry a Glock 36 with +1 grip extenions as an EDC and a Kahr CW45 as a BUG. After some work the CW45 is now flawless, but at other times I carry a Kel-Tec P40 as a BUG.

    That Glock 22 is your backup gun (unless you're talking about CC away from home). A good AR-15 or similar carbine/rifle would make a good primary.

    I'm a fan of the P3AT. I don't consider the baby Glocks to be small enough.

    Or, if you want your backup gun in your car/truck, get a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 in .40 with Glock Mags. Not quite a rifle, but close. :)

    So because you are a bad shot with a gun you blame the gun:dunno:, I'm a much better shot with my P3AT then my .38 snubbie
