Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns concealed carry 380's, hit the side of the barn?

I’ve got a Sig p238 that’s easy to shoot tight 10 yard groups with, too.

The Sig P238 was an accurate and fun gun for me as well. I had forgotten about that one.

I have no trouble doing that with my Taurus TCP.

For me the Sig 232 is the best. It’s also a little larger. Don’t have a p 238, but I do have a p938. Hasbeen

Many years ago I had a little Browning .380 I bought from an ex-cop who used it as a "backup gun".on't remember the model number. I liked it a lot, went shooting one day with a buddy who had a Browning Hi-Power, and was a very good handgun shot. I fell in love with his Hi-Power, and he tried to buy my .380! He could shoot that thing VERY accurately, and he really liked it.

The .380 I have now is an oldMT "Backup" I found in a pickup camper I had bought used years before. I is pretty accurate for what it is, very small and stainless steel, fictions great. I feel comfortable with it as a "backup" - especially backing up my .45 ACP AMT Backup!

As everyone has already said, it's not asking too much. I just wanted to toss out a reminder that aftermarket sights could really help. For example, a big dot front night sight with a single dot rear or bar, instead of traditional 3 dot sights, might be just the ticket for you.

Ruger LCP (Mk1) is awesome.

4-5 inches at 10 yards no problem.

If you like shooting revolvers double action the trigger on the LCP will not disappoint.

Disappears into pocket. Even shirt pocket. Don't do anything to it. The sights are fine.

Back in the1980s I had the Sig P230 and liked it a lot. But these days that’s considered a 9mm sized gun.

Disregard the bottom target, that was me just screwing around. But the top target is the very first 12 rounds through a brand new Ruger LCP, the first edition. Offhand at 7 yards, 6 o'clock hold, no eyeglasses (just non-prescription shooting glasses) to help my then 63 year old eyes. I lined up the front out of focus blob between the two rear out of focus blobs and fired. I think most barns got a right to be skeered...

Here is the full review to explain the bottom target as well. Rat Gun review

Had a Walther PP that would hit a 50 gallon steel drum at 100 meters every shot. All I had to do was aim a couple feet above the rim...

Thanks to all for your input. Not only was the answer to my question yep it can be do'ed. but got lots of input as to what .380 I might want to get. Got a local gun show to go to in a couple weeks!!!

Which one are you going to be looking for?

Not sure yet, probably depend on price and which one looks/feels best to me. I'm lucky WV is a constructional carry state, open or concealed. I occasionally cross the Ohio river over there I would have to have a concealed carry permit to be legal. Keep hoping they will go const. carry also.

Wife does well with this one, I do better, both are well within your wheelhouse. You can get them in non-Tiffany colors. I mention it only because you are 1911 familiar.

Nothing wrong with full Tiffany!

The Sig P238 is very similar to that Kimber.

I have a S&W BG380 and a Sig 938 but I usually carry my S&W 60 airweight performance center 38special idiot proof for a idiot like me. Widow

If you do your part they will shoot just fine unless... You just can't shoot them accurately

Fixed it for you.

This.

Have a P3AT. (I know, I know)

It shoots decent, however,
Lining up those 3 bump sights,
squeezing that loooong trigger,
and holding that tiny grip?

It ain't easy.
