Well, that sucks. Sorry about the issues.
Bought it for wife. I have shot 200+ rounds through it, no issues. She took it to the range Friday and could only fire 5 or so rounds, She can not pull the trigger. No way, no how. It was all she could do to get the 5 rounds fired. Guess it's back to the Sig 238 for her. Was hoping for this to work for her but no dice I guess.
I have to many handguns to make up my mind about now so guess I'll see what I can trade it towards. Looking real hard at the S&W 380 EZ. She can rack it and likes the trigger. Just "It's so big! Especially for my purse!" Oh well will see in the next few weeks.
My friend was thinking about one, I said don't bother. Sorry but Taurus is back in the dumpster.
well I am sure that you two have your reasons but why would you buy a Spectrum if you already own a Sig 238??Bought it for wife. I have shot 200+ rounds through it, no issues.

the 380 for all practical applications is about 1/2 the power of the 9 MM , but it comes in smaller weapons as well.T more
The 380 EZ has its problems at the start. It is easy to rack and load a magazine. Still it is a 380, and a 9mm is a better choice in my and many others’ opinions. You really should look at the Ruger LC9s, and it’s less expensive cousin the EC9s. Both are striker fired and the triggers are much better than most small pistols. I carried one for three years. I trusted it. It is worth considering.
interestingly (to me anyway) I was down at the range last week and in walks a guy that had just bought a Ruger mini 9 MM, the one in the discussion here.I have both the Taurus TCP and Ruger LCP II. The TCP has a very smooth, relatively light trigger pull. The LCP II has a crisp "snap" feeling, like the SR9c. In my opinion a heavy trigger in a tiny pistol makes it inherently inaccurate for all but expert shooters.
The biggest issue in a small gun is recoil. If it is sufficiently powerful, it is snappy and hard to shoot. If it is easy to shoot, it is probably under powered. I've not shot one, but I believe the Ruger LC380 would be worth looking at if you are recoil sensitive.

His intentions were to IWB carry or so he said-- so there was a pretty wide choice of sizes and calibers to choose from.If a carry piece is what he needs however, then he needs to learn how to shoot the one he bought accurately and safely. You are absolutely correct that he should be taking some classes and practice with a range gun to get the idea of sight radius impact and trigger control.
Or those hinky CZ pistols and clones that are so cheap they only put half the serrations on the slides !!Was at Academy today. They have Spectrums for $230. I don't need one, but thought it was a decent price. I was there for .45 caliber bullets, should tell you what I think of .380. :rofl:Of course, if she can't rack the slide on a Spectrum, FORGET about most .45ACP slides.![]()
Gonna pretty much agree with this, so wondering what it was she didn't like about the sig?well I am sure that you two have your reasons but why would you buy a Spectrum if you already own a Sig 238??
hands down my Sig 238 is the easiest, smoothest semi auto that own to rack and the trigger is super good.
