I have been looking for the perfect CCW for 6 years, and have owned/traded quite a few weapons. My H&K USPc in 40S&W is my favorite, but a big bulky for everyday carry in Florida. So the search went on. I tried the Bersa Thunder 380 (pretty good), the Beretta Tomcat 32 (jammed too often for...

Yesterday I went to the range with my Tomcat 32, my PPK/S and my Walther P99C. I've had these weapons for a while, and although I don't shoot them as often as I'd like, they have at least 100-150 rounds through each. All three weapons experienced a failure to feed. A round would stovepipe...

I've read some of these threads before but I cant seem to find them and its hard to do a search for .32, so here it goes - what would be your recommendation for carry ammo in a .32auto semi? Please, I'd really like to avoid a caliber war, whether 9mm is better, or .45 is the only carry round...

I went to a gunshop today to possibly trade my newly acquired S&W 386SC .357 magnum revolver for something else (long story). Anyways, the guy checks the gun (which is a week old, only 100 rounds through it an well cleaned), checks it, and proceeds to tell me they offer 65% of wholesale prices...

Anyone have first hand knowledge of these two firearms that cares to share his/her thoughts? Overall length - 6.53" Barrel length - 3.25" Overall height - 4.76" Overal width (w/o safety??) 1.46" Mag capacity - 13 Weight unloaded - 23oz Overall length - 6.61" Barrel length - 3.46" Overall...

I shot my Walther P99C 9mm today for the first time - what a sweet, sweet gun!!! It felt very smooth, recoil was very manageable, although that may be a relative impression as I fired it AFTER I shot an 18.5 oz S&W 386 revolver with .357 magnum loads. After that, anything will feel soft...

I shot my S&W 386 for the first time today - it was a lot of fun!!! I shot both 38 Special +p and .357 magnum, and everything they say about the .357 magnum kick is true! I shot 7 consecutive rapid fire shots of .357, I my teeth were rattling! Anyway, I came back home to clean the gun and...

Anyone try the Crimson Trace grip on a S&W model 386? I am assuming the LG-306 is the correct model - I am interested in knowing how the rubber grip compares to what comes standard on a S&W 386, and whether holsters will work after installation. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I've had guns for several years now, always autos. The other day I handled a Smith and Wesson Model 386 Revolver .357 Magnum, and did an impulse buy. I've been hanging out, reading and learning a lot on the Semiauto forum, and was hoping to now learn a lot over here. Any other S&W 386 owners...

Since I am carrying my Bersa, I am looking to trade my XD Sub for something I could carry but also enjoy shooting at the range. I was at the gun shop today and saw a used SW99 .40S&W compact, and I really liked the way it felt in my hand. It had no safety, but had a decocker. I assume it is...

I am interested in hearing from those who have shot both, what are your opinions on accuracy and recoil? (I found the thread on the .32 - I am interested in hearing from owners of the .380 flavors of both). I know there are a lot of KelTec fans out there, and that the Guardian is heavier, but...
