    ....been savin' , finally ready !

    Looking for a small (pocket sized) handgun ! Willing to use small caliber (minimum .380 acp) but prefer 9mm ....

    Major requirment would be weight and practicality !!

    Of course quality is important and simplicity is a must !

    No "tac and black" , lights , lasers or even drum mags ....

    I've found most "nines" are to heavy for all day every day so a .380 might be the ticket ....

    Please give your honest and needed opinion !!! THANKS

    I've got a S&W 642 Airweight, and I have carried in the pocket of my khaki shorts... it "prints" to easy and is kind of bulky.

    I recently (forgot to post what I bought), but I bought my wife a Kel-Tec P3AT 380 for when she runs downtown at night.

    The two major requirements for me were #1-small size and #2-light weight.

    Between the Kel-Tec P3AT, Desert Micro Eagle, Ruger, etc. mouse guns.... the Kel-Tec was the smallest and lightest. $230 bucks, it won.

    Some folks say they trigger pull on the Kel-Tec isn't that great... I've shot it plenty the past few weeks and love it. I've carried it in my pocket and have forgotten its there, I think my wallet weighs more than the P3AT.

    I moved this to a firearm forum. Printerman, please pay attention to where you placing your posts. This is the second one I've moved fron GD to General Firearms.

    Thank you, Steve
