I Need A Little Help With A Handgun I'm Looking At.

380's don't kick much at all so I would not be too worried about not being able use your pinky finger to grip it. If you go with the mag extender then you won't have this problem as others have said. I think it's a solid little gun and it would be easy to get your money back for it if you end up wanting to sell it at some point down the road.

I have a crimson trace on my Sig Sauer P228 and love it! They are great sights and very well made.

It's not the kick, it's the draw that I wonder about. I worry that it'd be awkward in an emergency, ya know?

That's a good point. It's going to be hard to know how you feel with it unless you go shoot it. One idea is to go into the store and see if they will let you draw it a few times and see how it feels.

If you really get into the tech specs there are better guns out there in that size category, but you are going to pay a much higher price for the quality/features. Say something like a Sig P238.

Sounds like Col. Kurtz has some first had experience with the weapon, so I would consider his comments. Especially if you really want this to be for self-defense. If you just want to go shoot cans with it, then that's a different story.
