...but in .32
I need to find some mags somehow. Cool little blasters.
I have heard good things about the Kel tecs in .380. Work well. Cheap.

my brother has a glock 23 that he likes, i didn't get to shoot it though. it seemed to handle nice and although my pinkey hung off the bottom it still fit well. i need to shoot a glock though so i can see how i like the triggers.

i'll have to research those! the pics of those two savages remind me of a tokarev with a different slide... interesting...
i'm primarily concerned with being able to ccw in summertime. criteria: inexpensive, reliable, small, slim, and lightweight (20 oz or less). min .380. but i would slide on the weight some for a nice used surplus or classic. PA-63 or makarov for instance. although i'm shying away from 9x18mm because its hard to get for me locally at a decent price.

Yup G19 and G23 are the same size, I believe they make a grip extension mag that could fix that problem with the pinky. I like the Glock trigger.

Then...
...look at a plastic gun, the keltec or Glock. I'd see what H/K has to offer, too. I love everything H/K.
Them Savages are robust, heavy guns for their size.

Is a Bersa .380 too small for your grip?

Take a look at the Kel-Tec P-11. 9mm, 16oz loaded, not pretty, but it's inexpensive and reliable.

Smith and Wesson .38 AirWeight... A tad on the $$$ side, but its a great summer carry.

H/K belong in the centerfold of gun porn mags. I've never held one though. I always thought they were too expensive for me (Sigs too).

I was looking at those and the new PF-9... I prefer single stack mags over double due to the slimmer profile and typically my hands fit better.

although i love wheelguns, from what i've seen they are a good bit fatter than semiautos. i'll still keep them in mind though. i know that taurus makes .38 lightweights that are a little more affordable and the last taurus i had ZERO issues (model 94 5" barrel 9 shot .22) .

Taurus vs. S & W
That's because Taurus bought a bunch of Smith & Wesson machinery years ago. Their quality control wasn't all that great, but things have changed.
I've owned 3 Taurus handguns, several (approximately 10) Smith & Wesson handguns, at least 1 Ruger handgun, and 1 Colt handgun. I sold all but 2 about 6 years ago when I sold my business and turned in my concealed carry permit. I still have 2 Smith & Wesson automatics which I dearly love, and believe it or not... one of them is a model 3913 "LadySmith" which is slim and compact. I carried that weapon loaded with CorBon 115 grain +P ammo which was about 1320 fps.
I'd still like to have a SIG, but I don't need it

Price...
...is subjective. If you buy a weapon for life, the extra $100-300 is only 5-15 a year over 20 years.
Maybe look at an HK P7 as well. Bit heavy for what you want, but the cool think about them is if the wrong person ever gets their hands on it, you'll have a decent chance of not getting shot with it due to the safety mechanism not being intuitive.

The surplus Sig P6's are the hot deal right now.That's because Taurus bought a bunch of Smith & Wesson machinery years ago. Their quality control wasn't all that great, but things have changed.

i like em... but a little too big for a pocket gun i think. and for something that size I'd go with the Bersa .380 CC
