What is your favorite 380 pistol?

[jstory]

Love my Thunder Plus. Not had the chance to shoot my Baby Rock yet. Feels great, hope it shoots as good as it feels.

 

[bob190e]

G42 all day

 

[Magnum314]

M&P Bodyguard (no laser)... and Walther PPK/S. It's quie a bit heavier of course...but I just love the feel, it is stupid accurate, and dead gorgeous!

 

[WaltherFan]

I love my Walther PPK/S by Interarms.

AMT Backup SAO

 

[Tomc1947]

I have several 380's.
For the range, I like my Beretta 84 and S&W PPK/s
For Carry, I switch around: Colt Mustang Lite, Kimber Micro Carry, Kahr CT380

JMO, but since there are a multitude of small 9mm's (and even a few .45's) as small as .380's, carrying one just doesn't make sense for me, not even as a BUG.

My favorite .380 is a .45...

gotta love these internet bad asses who are not afraid of a .380

 

[Spyco]

PPK, not that crappy PPK/S. Gotta have some class when carrying a .380.

Oy vey.

I like my 238. A lot. It doesn't meet op's specification of being able to get your whole mitt on the grip, but the weight of it tames recoil significantly.

Sig P232 or P230. Heavy but beautiful.

 

[copper145]

PPK/s...or PP

 

[Principal Skinr]

Glock 42, but I'd love to shoot a Beretta 85 Cheetah. I'd love to shoot a PPK, too. Haven't shot either of those.

 

[Bennettjh]

Ruger LCP

 

[Jabberwocky]

Glock 42. Great little pistol. I wear IWB tucked appendix (I know it would take me an extra second to draw it, but I'm hardly a quick draw artist anyway). It's nearly invisible. No regrets.

 

[Robertpetry]

The LCP has come a long way. The Gen 2 added a much better trigger and the 2015 Custom added good sights, an even better trigger and a little less recoil (seems like it). It is very accurate with the new sights. Sure it is a bit snappy but not terrible considering the size. A carry .380 is not a range favorite or it is not easy to carry.

I love my LCP Custom.

 

[glock212327]

I have shot a G42 and it is not a bad gun. I really liked the S&W Bodyguard they just need to fix the long trigger. My vote goes to the LCP Gen 2. I really like mine good trigger and better sights than the 1st run.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

We have a couple of Bersa Thunders, one was m'lady's first, but she's gravitating to a Daewoo DP51 in 9x19. I have one of those reprehensible BG380s that's very finicky with brass. I should sell that. Picked up a Kimber micro Bel Aire because it's pretty, but I haven't had it to the range yet. My favorite is still my Sig 230, James Bond could only wish he was that seksay. If I find any more 230s or 232s for decent prices, they shall be mine [supervillain laugh]. And I'm a .45 guy Oh, you can use Bersa mags in the Sig, but not the other way around without modification.

 

[O'Shark]

I have owned three different .380s over the years and my favorite is the M&P Bodyguard.....hands down. The trigger isn't bad, it's just different for a reason. I can put 5 shots into an orange at 7-10 yards with my handloads. I used a little white appliance paint to paint the front sight which is almost a necessity. I feel better about the caliber now as a backup with the modern ammo (like Hornady Critical Defense) that is available for it. When I take more than one gun to the range, I take out the Bodyguard first. If an LCP shoots like my LC9S, I'd definitely try one of those too.

My EDC is a Bodyguard. I pocket carry it and I like the long DAA trigger. Best safety I can have. Love my Glock 42 but a little harder to pocket carry. When I can carry IWB it's the G42.
