I was looking for a small pocket CC for the times when I can't or don't want to carry my Kahr CM9 (love that one!). I read many, many reviews and decided on the .380 pocket CC that started the whole trend (and the one Ruger copied). Shipping was a bit longer than I have experienced the other times I purchased from Buds, but nothing that was going to ding a review. Gun showed up at FFL in great shape, no marks and all parts functioned as they should. The next day I ran 100 rounds through it of standard ball ammo and only had two FTEs and that was due to limp wrist on my part because this little thing is snappy given very low weight and slightly sweaty hands. For range work I added mag finger extensions and Hogue grip - helps a lot. However, for carry I removed those items because this gun is all about hiding its footprint and quick draw when in a pocket. The sites are basically non-existent, but that is on purpose. Regardless, it did not affect how I shot it - 4" pattern at 15', 6" pattern at 20' and 8" pattern at 25 feet. I thought not having a slide hold open would be annoying, but I have to remember this is not a range gun, it's a CC and I feel it will do its job nicely if/when needed to. I would rather carry my 9mm all the time, but reality is NO ONE wants to get hit by a bullet - period. I know some reviews state they got "Monday" guns, but I would still recommend this CC because of size, weight and OK caliber. Many CC reviews say ball ammo may be the best for penetration and that is what I use when carrying. I paired this up with a $6 pocket holster sold by Buds and it all works great!
