I am thinking of purchasing this gun for my wife....was thinking revolver but this is one of the few semi's she can operate the slide on and shes like it better than the feel of all the revolvers....

what are the pro's and con's of this gun....

well i picked one up at christmas time. only been able to put a couple box's of ammo through it so far. shoots well, not too much kick. there is a problem with some of them having a sharp edge on the slide at the edge of the barrel hole. (just puts some scratches in the barrel, easy fix.) carries pretty well. ratted for overpressure rounds also.

more I look the more the Kahr is looking better....Also like the look of the new Ruger LCR...

Looking for something small I can slip in the cargo pants pocket of my riding pant...From what I have been reading don't trust the KalTecs

I've got the Ruger LCP (380 auto) with crimson trace trigger guard. I really like it. You'd be welcome to try it out if you want to come out with me and James sometime.

I have a Walther PPK in 380
Is that what we are talking about?

If so....
I don't find it that fun to shoot. It doesn't kick a lot but it is a solid hard kick, I think because it is a straight blow back. (I hope I'm making sense here). It's like jumping off the porch and landing hard on your heels instead of the balls of your feet. Know what I mean?

Also the slide makes two groves in the web of my hand between the thumb and first finger.

It's cool because it's James Bond's gun and that's why I bought it.
I used to carry it but it's relatively heavy and I though it better to carry a revolver, so I do.
Hope this helps

No, he is talking about the PK380, the polymer framed .380 that they have now.
