I'd like to handle one just to satisfy my curiosity about the advertised low-effort slide function and of course, reliability. And yes there's a need for an affordable Gertrude Gun. Beretta tip-up 380s are scarce and pricey.

You never know what's going go sell. When the LCP was introduced, I really didn't think it'd fly. The P-3AT had been around for years and was usually reliable with ball... that and KelTec's 32 seemed to satisfy folks wanting such a pistol. But Ruger refined the design and sold boatloads.


Direct Impingement is the Fart Joke of military rifle operating systems. ⓒ
