Most likely. To me the grip length and width is what matters. it's almost the same in both dimensions as by Beretta Nano 9mm. Sorry but I i bought a 380 it'd have to be LCP size or similar to make it worth the trade off

Nope. No way in hell am I buying a .380 that big when there are MANY 9mm pistols smaller or the same size.

Agreed x100. I would be all over this if this was a 9mm. The thing that draws me to it is that it looks like I can get a high grip on it without getting slide bite as I always do with smaller pistols. the kahr is the closest that I shot without slicing my hand up, but that long trigger pull is not to my liking although I have shot nice little groups with it. I haven't used a shield yet. I like this as an option for us guys with chubby hands :D

I hope to get my paws on one at SHOT to see how it feels but something is telling me I won't even get close enough to even breath on it.

Would not surprise me if a 9mm and a thinner .45 than the 30 are in the works to compete with the XDs.
I think I would still prefer my Shield any day over this .380 but for my still somewhat skiddish with trigger and firepower wife, this Glock seems like a perfect fit.

Those are nice. I'd probably go with a PPK, they're classic and are pretty accurate (for a .380). My go-to gun is still a .45 though.

Love my wife's P238.
She has the HD model that is heavier.
What a great, accurate small gun.
Great night sights.

If I got another .380 I would get the Makarov or Baikal eastern block copies of the PPK half the price and the most accurate .380 I have ever fired.

It is, I agree. But it's supposed to have a trigger pull like a 1911. Wouldnt be so bad if it werent for that rear right

Been my experience it's best to wait until you can actually get your hands on a gun to cast any sort of judgement. Just from seeing pictures...well, lots of people did only that and went 'UGH' about Glock handguns and Steyr AUG rifles back in the day. Many of them came around a little bit through the years.

My 8th 1911. Giggity! I've always wanted a blued gun, but wasn't really hip to buying a Colt. I'm a Springfield fanboi. Gonna shoot it, then send it to my shop to have a beavertail safety fitted.

True. I've always maintained that Remington should stick to long-guns. Their handguns haven't really left their mark. Their 1911's aren't well-made, and now this.

Very interesting concept. I used to carry .38 in double projectile load. Less powder and lower velocity but a double hit. Worked great in snubs and played hell with longer barrels. When I moved to a 9mm I used Glazers for a while then the cor-bon +p Shot shell. Now I make my own Gold dots. They are as close as you can get to Black Talons.

My first thought was that this "cutting edge", "one of a kind technology" was around in the 80's...

As my Umbrella build gradually continues, just ordered their logo engraved BCG to go along with the lower, upper, grip and lower parts kit, to include the Giselle SSA trigger.
They are soon coming out with barrels, to include 300 black out and a hand guard.

New Fobus holster came today, I accidentally sold my other one with my M&P compact, I forgot that I used my full size with it also :sl so had to order a new one for off duty carry of my full size (usually just for training though) too big to carry off duty.

I've done both. The single clip, if mounted to the holster, doesn't allow the belt to wrap around it properly...making it slightly thicker overall. I use Comp-Tac Ctacs and love them. 4 XD, 1 XDm, and 8 1911s. Love them.

I thought those were LE only. If not great round but a bit pricey. I guess there isnt any such thing as too expensive when it comes to self defense.

How much are those BCG's running for? Never heard of Umbrella (don't do a lot of online gun forum stuff). Looked them up and they seem to make a very solid BCG. Let me know what you think of the Giselle trigger, I've been thinking about swapping one into mine when I have some spare funds.
