Best .380 Platform

[Amishman44]

Walther is re-releasing the PPK in .380 this year ;-)

Now that would be an interesting acquisition. I had one of these 10+ years ago and let it go...I did like it, abeit it was a tad on the heavy side for anything other than waste-ban carry.

Oh, and I have owned two (2) Bersa Thunder .380's back in the late '90's...they were great shooters as well!

I little love for the CZ 83...or 82 if you prefer the Makarov round.

the Taurus tcp kicks straight back into the web of your hand and hurts.

Oh yeah I loved my Russian Makarov. Bought it for $87 out the door around 30 years ago. I kick myself every day for selling it.

Love the Walther PPK. A bit small for big hands but a great gun.

check the S&W M&P bodyguard. its really flat and very small overall. it also has a manual safety which i really like.

I ended up getting a Glock 43 9mm...seems to serve my purposes with a better caliber and still fairly close to the Glock 42 sized pistol.
With an Ameriglo Orange Ring with Green Tritium front sight and Hackathorne rear sight...it's a little tack-driver pistol.
I added Pierce +1 pinky extensions to all three mags and wa-la...fits my smaller hands just perfectly!

Good choice - I was close to buying a G43 myself but went with a Smith Shield. But I did eventually pick up a used Glock 42 and then later a G48. Will probably pick up a G17, G19 or G34 later this year.
