IndianaBassHead Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 What's up guys? I've been thinking and I would like to have a small subcompact gun that can fit in my pocket as a backup ccw. I currently carry a glock 23 but I'm looking for something smaller. I'm not looking to spend a whole lot. I have considered the Taurus .380 TCP but I can't find one anywhere around here in the last few months. And if I do, they aren't for a reasonable price... They are all selling for about $70 over retail. Any opinions? Thanks.

Keith77 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 its in all what you want to spend $$$ whats your budget? Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT.Smoke Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Anything is better than nothing but I think going smaller than a 380 is a dumb choice and even a 380 os questionable. I would stick to 9mm or bigger...

BobbyG2 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 If you like Glocks, maybe a Glock 26 would be small enough for ya? *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I also say stick with 9mm or above, 9mm or 40. even a smaller 45, but they say a 45 is a slower round, and on top of that the 2+ rounds you end up losing due to it being a 45. But then some people claim "all you need is 1 shot" to argue the less rounds with a 45, but often times even if your the best shot around, you can not predict a violent situation, or if your weapon jams, fails to load, etc. Hell, the person may still be coming at you after you hit him with 1 round already, or you may have multiple threats, maybe 2or3 gang bangers.... You just dont know! There are lots of ballistic testings done, and really 9mm, 40, and 45 are very very close. But strongly disagree with going anything smaller then a 9! This is a GREAT video, tho everyone is going to have a different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaBassHead Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for the info everyone.. I was definitely thinking .380 would be the smallest I would go, but I agree that I should probably go for a 9mm. As far as budget goes, I am trying to spend under $300. And I don't want to trade my Glock. Love that gun. Just looking for something that I can fit in my coat pocket while on my bike. I will check out the guns you guys listed.

CLNSHVNnDRAGGN Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I carry a Keltec P3AT (.380) on a regular basis, both as a bug and main carry when I don't feel like trying to hide something else, and feel it is plenty to get the job done. Many people say its too small of a round but there are many stories you can find with a simple google search that will show that is far from the truth. www.facebook.com/BILLatDivineCreationsPhoto He was taunting me. He's all like "come at me bro!" So I'm like "I'm coming at you bro!" And he's like "hey, fuck you" *chomp*. Then I killed it. I win. ^^^ you have truly taken being a lazy fuck to a new level tonight, an MRE. WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
