.380 Pocket Pistol
Looking for a relatively cheap (less than $300) and reliable .380 for an alternative summer carry weapon. Must be fairly accurate and be able to digest a good many rounds as I shoot what I carry. Want to retire my trusty old Femaru M-37 to the antique cabinet. Any suggestions?

Try out a Russian made Makorov, made by INEZ..380 cal. D.A. for first shot if wished, fulladjustable rear sight, mine has eaten over500 rds of mixed lead reloads, ball, h.p.,soft nose etc. without a stopage. A low priced steel gun of excelent quality. Threeof us bought them and are all very satisfied.Cost was $140.00 with 3 mags. New in box.But this was about 5 years ago. 0 -
The Kel-Tec P-11 is smaller and lighter than any of the pistols mentioned, and holds 10+1 of 9x19. The street price is usually around $225 to $250, sometimes more or less, depending on the seller. In my experience and opinion, a blow-back .380 with hot loads has fairly sharp recoil. I find the recoil on a P-11 about the same or less than any of the blow-back .380 pistols. 0 -
They are getting hard to find at a fair price, and you might have to go over $300.00 to obtain, but you might want to consider a Colt Pocketlite. They are compact and great for cancelled carry.

I just picked up a FEG in .32 auto, $119 dollars. I REALLY like this gun! Shoots great, fits good, looks like a Walther, carries just about anywhere. As a matter of fact, I was thinking about buying another one.
Thanks, Grizztribefans@sssnet.com0 -
I like my Bersa Thunder in .380. It is inexpensive, reliable, accurate, small and light enough for a pocket. 0 -

I'd have to say go with a colt pocketlite, mustang, or govt 380 if you can find one. After firing one you'll know why.
