Ok not new to pistol or revolver shooting. In my army days I qualified expert with the 1911 ( that was '71) I only like guns that will hit what I shoot at. That being said I plan to get a .380 small enough to fit a pocket holster. I would be pretty happy if I could keep my groups inside 4 or 5 inches at something like 10 yds. Considering the short site radius and my 67 year old eyes is that asking too much? No. Get an LCP II. Fixed it for you. MM What are the changes?

Nothing "wrong" per se', but the new version is better in just about every way.

If you're going down that road you can also say a 9mm may expand but a 45 doesn't shrink.

Walther PPK/S w/ Fiocchi Extrema 90gr.
Desirably heavy weight.
Confident at 10-15 yards.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

If the weight and size are fine with you, I love shooting and carrying the Walther PPK/S Fits my hand well, and surprisingly accurate out to 40 yards for me.
I'd try one out if you have the chance.

270WSMANIC,
May I suggest a Colt's Model 1908 Hammerless in .380 ACP??. = I owned one & that little pistol is wonderful. - Few handguns in a decent SD caliber are as flat/concealable & I could put all of the rounds into a standard size paper-plate at 25 M virtually every time.
I would suggest that for pure self-defense (unless your attacker has a long-gun) situation, "25M accurate" is PLENTY.
Note: Fwiw, Colt has re-issued the Model 1908 but the only one of the "new model" that I've seen seems inferior to the original. (Look for a REBLUED one, or a re-parkerized example at the gun shows is my advice, as "collectors" are not interested in them & the prices seem about 1/2 or less than the "originals" are.)
yours, tex

MM How so? I'm not arguing I just haven't shot one. I have the original.

You can hit the side of a barn with this 380. You can also put the 22 barrel/slide on it and shoot 22 LR if you want. I shot this deer in the head with it at 75 yards. They can still be found but not much under $4,000.00...

Glock style trigger, with middle safety tab, actually pretty decent letoff & MUCH improved over version I; better sights if that means anything on a gun of this type, feels more ergonomic in the hand.
Bought one for my wife a year ago for Christmas & we've shot it quite a bit & though I am not a small gun fan, I carry it once in a while & like it a lot.

Haven’t shot either one, I’ve ‘read’ the trigger is supposed to be lighter and a shorter pull.
Does the original slide lock open on firing last round?

I would agree, have a P238, and have shot a friends LCP. For myself I will take the Sig. Depends on what you want. I am a 1911 guy, the P238 is pretty close but much smaller. Same drill, same memory for operation, works for me.
