Full Size, Mid Size and Compact. What's the Difference?
Who is this idiot?
Just purchased the S&W .380 Bodyguard with laser. It’s a 6+1 but it hides nicely in a pocket and the laser is remarkably accurate.
1400s?
> Back in the 1400s, there were few semiauto choices… <
I think something slipped past the editor there. Out of curiosity, I looked it up. The first patented semiauto pistol appeared in 1891.

I’m not even sure the wheel lock had been invented then. The matchlock was circa 1410.
I’m wondering what he meant to say. If it was 1900s, there were plenty of reliable semi-autos even then.
By 1900s, I mean the 20th century.
> 1400s? <
Yes. And that’s how Cortes was able to beat a much larger Aztec force. All of Cortes‘ men had semiauto muskets.
Just kidding, of course. Please see my post #6.
> If it was 1900s, there were plenty of reliable semi-autos even then. <
I couldn’t figure that out either. The Colt 1911 was pretty darn good. Luger and Walther made decent semiautos too. So I’m starting to wonder about this author here.
Good one. I can load and fire my black powder flintlock rifle at the rate of about three rounds per minute. Dang, those “semi-auto” rifles are dangerous and a menace to society!
I wasn't sure if this was humor or a typo.
Well it was a factual statement.
Always have been a fan of the 1911. Looked at the reviews and very good for the price range.

I pocket carry a Sig P365XL 9mm with a factory 12rd mag upgraded with a “Magguts” conversion to 14rds, so 14+1 pocket 9mm that is completely reliable. Plus a 15rd reload

Ain’t no buttons,slides or Mags either.
I’ve been looking for extension magazines for the .380 but I’m more interested in being able to carry something with a low profile. I believe they have a 10/15 but I’m happy with the 6 +1. Firm believer in the deterrent value.
Started with a Springfield .40, then .38 revolver and a Ruger LCP which I really liked but was concerned with the light trigger pull and lack of a safety. The S&W has a thumb safety and a hard trigger pull.
> Well it was a factual statement. <
Ha! Well played.
I’ve got a Tarus Spectrum .380. Bought it because of price($152) and small conceal.
I bought a red laser and i haven’t adjusted it well, yet.
It was between that and an S&W. I already have an S&W9 M&P 2... I went with Tarus because of price.
