This list pretty much SUX. What ever happened to the Kahr P380 (or its' lesser expensive sibling)? First introduced in 2009, it's only disadvantage was the price. It loves +P ammo all day long. The specs, the trigger, the reliability and compactness still make it a #1 choice in this category. If you know, you know...
My opinion on having a red dot on ANY, edc pistol is a waste. Red dots are great for the range on shooting out more that 15 yards. As part of someone's edc pistol. Waste of money. I don't care if your Jerry Miculek. In a self-defense situation your not going to be thinking about site-ing up your red dot on your draw when someone is up on you like say closer than 10 yards. Bout the time you site in your red dot. You dead. It's sad that now a red dot and light has become the ' cool thing ' to do right off the bat when these young guys & gals do to their pistol. ' cool thing ' to do. Taking ownership and responsibility of purchasing a gun is not ' cool thing ' or a dam video game that they are playing. But! Like Ron white says. You CANT! Fix STUPID!
No KelTec P32? I had to install a Galloway springs kit to get my LCP 22lr to run reliably and only with 40 grain Minimags. Serious light strike issue and would not extract an unfired case unless it was inverted. I would really like to see the LCP in 32ACP. After all it is a clone of the P32. Walther brought back the PPK and PPKS in 32ACP.
