I NEVER question the calibre that someone wants to get, because I don't have all the info that they have.

For me, at 110 lbs, open carry is the only solution for anything bigger than a .22 jennings in the summer. I've got special needs and I'm not jumping through all those hoops again every time I meet someone that is 'sure' they have a better solution. ;)

But that's just me.

Me too, though I'm a little heavier. I wear jeans and a t-shirt mostly. I just never have found a good conceal rig for me. Maybe the Makarov in my waistband. So a 4” model 66 on my belt works good.

Hope you're OK.

Actually that's why I asked if there was a reason the OP wanted a .380. I've shot the Bersa and thought it was well made and a decent price just a bit large for a .380 unless they've trimmed it down.

'Course I feel the same way about the Walther .380.

The OP was asking for advice and if he or she is choosing .380 for compactness then a Ruger,S&W, Sig or Colt have smaller, thinner pistols.

If recoil is the deciding factor then the Bersa would be a good choice. Not too small and easier to handle than the mouse guns.

The other factor is availability of .380. It's more expensive than, say, 9 mm and much harder to get. During the last big panic it was virtually impossible to find.

.380s can be a handy little pistol. Had 2 Colt Mustang Pocket Lites that I really liked but had to sell when I was in school.

I've heard that Colt is making them again.

Good to hear from you JRandom. Hope you are okay.
