The perfect pocket pistol! Be aware that this is NOT a range gun, you will not find yourself taking the Seecamp to the range for plinking. It kicks like a mule (the .380 version more so than the others), but you should take it regularly to get used to it, verify that your ammo will properly cycle, etc. Speaking of ammo, yes it is very finicky. But once you find an ammo that works well (every pistol is different) stick to it. It is not cheap to take to the range, you will be shooting your carry ammo because ball ammo will typically not cycle; these were built off of hollow points, and to very precise measurements. These are get-off-me guns, they are meant for very close range. Now, the great: A very light pistol that has the same capacity as significantly larger models such as the Glock 42 and the LCP 2.0. All metal construction. Snag-free design. Cult-like following, and for good reason, they are masterpieces. If you conceal carry, but find yourself needing to deep carry, the Seecamp will not let you down.

Fast shipping. Beautiful well-made pistol. So small and compact it is hard to believe. Thanks Buds!

Over rated little hand cannon with a mule kick. Shot one 20-round box of factory recommended ammo, some jams and failures to eject. After getting home from the range, noticed thumb-to-hand joint and webbing between thumb and trigger finger were bruised. Will dispose of it ASAP. Very disapointed.

Seecamp The online buying experience was easy and relatively quick. The list of preferred FFL's made it easy, I didn't even need to call them first. I have a Seecamp in .25acp, but I view that as more of a collectors item then a carry gun. I've only put 4 magazines through it, and it isn't as punchy as I've heard. I'm glad I went with the .380 over the .32. I've tried the Winchester silver tips, Federal Premium HydroShok, and the Remington UMC, all listed on the seecamp website and no problems. Only comes with 1 magazine,(which I knew) and the spare spring had a spot of rust on it.

Hard to find, highest quality semiautomatic you will find and at a good price but be warned it kicks like a mule.

Ok, out of the box, this little pistol struck me as being a little jewel…all shiny and beautifully machined! It fit my hand well for such a small gun. The grips are crisp and precise, allowing for good control of it in the hand. That is, until you begin firing it. This beauty of a pistol is an absolute beast. This is not a pistol to be taken lightly. The recoil is stout! I was able to fire 4 magazines of the recommended Winchester Silvertip ammunition without failure or malfunction. I was shooting from about 7 yards at a dinner plate sized gong target, and I believe it hit the target each time. I couldn’t be sure, however, because of the pretty severe recoil and muzzle blast. I then had my brother, a 260 lb. man of 65 years of age fire the little pistol. His 2nd shot stovepiped, I believe, due to a limp-wristed hold on the pistol. He cleared the jam and finished firing the rest of the magazine with no further malfunction. I couldn’t convince him to shoot the gun any more. He did have a prior injury to his trigger finger tho, so I can’t blame him. I have reached some preliminary conclusions about this little pistol so far: >1 my preliminary conclusions are based on firing only 38 rounds, not enough to make firm recommendations. I need to shoot it more, and will do so. >2 I cannot recommend this pistol (in .380) for anyone who is prone to limp-wristing any pistol, or is afraid of recoil. Perhaps a Seecamp in a lighter caliber would be in order here. >3 I really like this gun, and I expect it to see a lot of rear pocket time. I don’t expect to be firing it very often, because, quite frankly, it is no fun at all to shoot. But as a last line of defense, I would bet my life on this little jewel!

Looking for a pleasant .380 acp to shoot...well, keep looking, this is NOT your gun. Looking for the ultimate concealable handgun for last ditch do or die defensive use? This is your pistol in spades. This is the Rolex of pocket pistols: everything you need and nothing you don't. Seecamp has a fantastic website so look it over and READ THE MANUAL before you take the pistol out of the box. Don't say you weren't warned. As to ammo I found Sierra hollow points (Bud's had them) performed flawlessly. This is a niche gun for serious self defense and you will forget you are even carrying it.

Beautiful little gun fit and finish is superb. First time out to the range was plagued with ejection jams. Used only SEECAMP recommended ammunition.

Fired total of 160 rds in 3 range sessions. The kick is very heavy. Jam many times no matter what ammo I feed it. I used 3 new factory magazines for the range shooting and everyone of them jam. I follow the Recommendations to used Remington UMC 88GR JHP Freedom Munitions X-DEF 95gr. HP Winchester Silvertip 85gr. HP .Alots of Jams in about every 10 shots fired. I am very unhappy and took a 60% lose of value to trade in for Glock42. I really want to love this seecamp but the end result is a big disappointed. I own older Seecamp 32 so I know the gun. I clean it with EEZOX , polish the feeding ramp, and change recoil spring every 50 Rds, Not Working. I am so upset I don't even care to send back for repair.

Great gun. A little heavier than I thought it was going to be. Shoots great. Good job by all at buds

Thanks to Hickok 45! He directed me to your spot and I have no complaints regarding the ordering/shipping. Pricing is very reasonable.
I am chomping at the bit to run a few mags through this little beast. Still waiting on my 380 JHPs that I tracked down on ammoseek.com..
If anyone has advice regarding a fast, reasonable tract to ammo, I am all ears!
Cheers,
Andrew

I have not shot this little BEAUTY yet but I have to say the workmanship and finish are SECOND TO NONE.....WOW!! And talk about small....it really is and so far worth every penny!! Stay tuned!!

Not in love with it. Ammo hard to find. Recoil is unpleasant. Gun looks great. Has a great fit and finish. But as far as 380s go, this platform is a bit undersized.

Love the little gun, now. But only after about four hours with a diamond stone smoothing out what I consider to be unfinished machine work. I read so much about how these little gems were hand-finished at the factory, and they may have been, but apparently, the new owners don't see the value of that. The gun felt as it had sand in the slide when it was racked so I thought I would take it apart to clean and lubricate. The slide would not come off. I actually had to pry it off. Then I had to smooth the spring-loaded slide latch in order to get the gun back together. The top of the latch actually had a gouge in it where it is ramped to allow it to depress when the slide is installed. They must have had to smack the slide with a hammer to get the slide back on. I understand that it must be hard to do all the stainless steel machine work necessary to make such a gun and still make a profit but I did expect finer work. With that said; I still love the little gun. In fairness, what I hear about the company that now produces the gun I have no doubt that they would have made it right if I sent the gun back.

Seecamp is the perfect concealed handgun. Completely hidden with the correct holster. Flawless operation, quality craftsmanship, probably one of the best made guns on the market for deep concealment. Never been happier with a purchase! Thanks Bud’s you really came through.

I recently purchased a seecamp in 380 auto. I am very pleased with the quality, and function of the weapon. For its intended use (deep cover) it works extremely well. Buds shipping was very fast. Overall, a great experience.

I am very happy with this gun. I may not be as accurate with my shots as I am with my .38 special, but I will hit the target. It is totally concealable which was my main reason for this choice. I'm sure my aim will improve with more range time. I have not tried to clean it yet, but I will. Thank God for youtube videos! My son in law said, the bad guy will see this gun and laugh at you! I said, "yes, and then he will hear BOOM. Game over."
