Thanks. Was the 45 too bulky?
I'm looking at some of the Kimber 45 ultra carrt's. Small, but pricy.

Yep. I went with hard chrome finish to keep rust away. Get. It through the break-in period (100-200 rounds) and they're incredibly reliable. Mine has been 100% since the 30 round mark.
Also, look at the Khar CM9 or the Kel Tec PF9. The Ruger LCR is more accurate than me and if I need more than 5 rounds of .357, I'm a goner anyway.
will this be a good CC?

That was mainly my biggest complaint. They were also heavier, because of the steel frame mostly. I looked at the Kimbers, Sigs (in .40 and .45), and Glock (.40). I don't remember even looking at an Kimber Ultra Carry, once I shot this P238 I feel in love with it. For being a small frame gun, it is super accurate and reliable. I haven't ever had a jam and can shoot 2" groups at 15 yards.
The main problem with shooting the .380 round is the cost. Even though the casing is only .1 mm (or something like that) shorter than the 9mm, it is still about double the cost of the 9mm rounds (not the plinking rounds, the personal protection rounds).
I carry a Walther PPS (9 mm) with the 7 round magazine in a Crossbreed holster. Very slim, comfortable, and easy to conceal.

I recently purchased a new Glock 23 and a Sig Mosquito... Going to the range to put a few rounds through them this evening.
I wish that I could find some cheapr ammo for the Glock!
oh noes....I just found out that a guy that used to work for me has a gun license now (Fed).
Just got done shooting my brand new Beretta AL391 Urika 20 gauge. I think I'm in love! I usually shoot an O/U 12 Beretta but I pulled the old 20 Wingmaster out of the safe for dove season this year. I was truly shooting doves at 40+ yards and brought home 17 birds (a couple of collared doves in addition) with 24 shells so I decided to get a new auto 20. I did some research and the modern 20 gauge loads are way better than the old 12's. I patterned it with both HeviShot and Kent Tungsten and the Hevi patterned great with 3 inch #4's and #6"s. IC was the best patterning choke tube if you could believe that? Just for giggles my buddy tried his 12 Ga Mossberg Turkey with his "fancy choke" on the same pattern boards and the 20 Hevi patterned better at 30 and 40 yards than his shoulder busters. Did I mention that there is very little recoil with tthe new recoil pad and Beretta auto being a "soft-kicker" anyway. I absolutely smoked the 5-stand course this evening... I can't wait for duck season!
I've worked with a guy who has the silencer on his 10/22. Yeah, it does make a difference with LR, but I find with the subsonic rounds, my henry .22 is just as quiet, may be slightly louder than a silenced 10/22. Reason is the sound escapes out the action when the casing is ejected. On a lever action henry, the sound stays in the barrel, exiting out the end.
It sure is fun shooting without hearing protection though!

My latest addition. El Tigre 44-40. Chuck Connors would be proud.
Beautiful Gun! I just picked up a new Glock 22 online myself!
