looks like a new era ASP. rather have the ASP though

Looks good.

Pocket pea shooter, that can get you back to the car/house for your REAL gun.

I prefer the PF-9 for that, but this is certainly a nice option.

It'd be interesting to see how it handles different loads and how many rounds cycled before it jams.

An explosion of .380 sales lately.

I sold all of my .380's in 2008 when it became apparent that ammo for it was getting stupid.

Guess it hasn't changed

I like the size of the 380 minis for concealment, but many 9's can be had in close to the same size with better ballistics. The only operational issues I have with the minis is that I have big hands and they are hard for me to hang on to. The small grips rotate in my hand a lot during recoil, so I get frequent failures to feed in the smaller guns, but seldom with the large frame autos.

On the flip side, I'm so big that anything but a Casull is pretty easy to conceal.....unless I'm wearing a Speedo.......

we have one of the Taurus mini 9's. she has had some issue with FTE with it. I told her the same as above, have to hold on to it and not let it "roll with the recoil"

I have one as well and I have friends that really want to get one too. Once they saw how easy it is to conceal they were happy about trying to get a CCL.

I have a five shot .357 snub, I like that better.
