I love how they keep reassuring everyone that it's not a KT. I already have a .380 so I am fairly well stocked on ammo


Do you think this is a good price?

$299 isn't bad, considering it's actually available for that price. I've seen it going for $350+ and know it's been hard to find. I doubt it can be had for much less than that now, at least until the demand comes down.

I'd say the demand for the 380 gun is dropping since it is a well known fact that there is no 380 ammo available. Who wants to buy a gun that they can't shoot? The only exception is someone who is well stocked, as you say you are. But I would guess that this is why the price is lower...

I can't find 38 ammo at a decent price anywhere. Petry's charges about 50c a round for target ammo. That is ridiculous, I bought it a few months ago for 25c a round. The only thing I can shoot right now is my 45, I'm salvaging the rest of my ammo until some more comes on the market.

Thats a great price. Gun shows sell these guys for $350-400


Dont let buying over the internet scare you...it's simple...have them ship it (they will do it for you) to a FFA dealer (I use L Opplomen downtown) and then get it from them. They do all the paperwork for you and I think you have to pay a $30 FFA fee.
I bought a LCR the other day. Nice gun, shoots better than the LCP.. JMHO.

One thing about a revolver, it will not jam. I like semi-autos, but always worry about it jamming at a bad time.

Correct, I have several autos and a few revolvers, but I carry a revolver everywhere, everyday. :D

wearing sweats/shorts I go w/ the KelTec 9 b/c it's light/compact- fits in a pocket and you don't know its there.

any other time I have the Sig 40 on me. I don't mind the weight at all - compared to the .45 we use at work, it's no big deal.

that and my Sig's holster is perfect. Try a different style, maybe?
