This is one of the most bizarre range reports / posts I've ever read. Congratulations.
Pretty much all of the micro-pistols are a little difficult to get a good grip on if you have anything larger than medium meat hooks, and they really aren't the most enjoyable experience, recoil-wise for any sort of extended fire/range time (that's just my opinion - some people like having their hands beaten with a tenderizing hammer!). I personally think that the .380 cartridge has it's place (and that place is a BUG!) but for me personally, it's not generally my first line of defense unless it's really hot outside and I'm headed to the store in a speedo (for me a speedo is knee length cargo shorts and t-shirt...to each his own)I got a hint in some responses that maybe I was thought to dislike the 380 cartridge. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is a fine cartridge but I, speaking from experience here, surely want it in a gun big enough for me to control without hurting myself. I had a PPKS 20+ years ago, I loaded and fired many hundred, probably thousands of rounds thru it. I liked it!!
Next time I go I'm going to try the Sig 938? in 380. I'm just looking for something to hang on to, and the little, flawless S&W ain't it. It works well but it doesn't fit me. My S&W Chiefs Special, my Detective Special and my Cobras all fit me.
umm --ahh, that would be a Sig Sauer 238, the 938 is the 9 MM weapon.I got a hint in some responses that maybe I was thought to dislike the 380 cartridge. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

MY son has one that he is fond of !I highly recommend one of these... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/738331121
15 round double stack. SA striker fired. Locked breech. If you need mags PM me.
Yeah, it ain't no pocket pistol. It's about the size of a S&W Shield with a bit fatter grip. Magazines seem to come and go. I have some extras because of a forgotten back-order. I'll hang on to them, but somebody like guesser could talk me out of a couple.MY son has one that he is fond of !
of course from what I understand magazines at near impossible to obtain and of course this I a good bit larger than a pocket pistol as well.
Keep the faith! SCCY has their CPX3 lined up for March (at least, that's what they told me on the phone last week) and it is also a double stack, but only a little larger than the Spectrum (which is only slightly more beefy than the TCP)Yeah, it ain't no pocket pistol.

Maybe you should look at the PT58. I like mine. Not a sub compact but easy enough to conceal and give you 12+1 capacity. I have since put white grips on them.I got a hint in some responses that maybe I was thought to dislike the 380 cartridge. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Now THAT is an interesting little piece! I'll bet it is a soft shooter! When did they discontinue this little gem???I highly recommend one of these... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/738331121

A couple of years ago, 2014? I think. It wasn't around long. It fires from a locked breech so yeah, it is a blast to shoot. I also have a Chiappa MC-14 which is a Turkish-made Beretta clone. That one is a blow-back though. It's disappeared too.Now THAT is an interesting little piece! I'll bet it is a soft shooter! When did they discontinue this little gem???
