    Ruger 380 ACP pistols

    I liked the LCP with its original 6 round magazine. I love it with the extended 7 round magazine. Very little practical size penalty.

    My Latest Acquisition--Colt Government 380 Series 80

    I have wished Sig would have made a “government model” P238 with a longer barrel and 7 round length grip. I usually use a 7 round mag in my P238 and P238HD. Sadly, not to be. I also wished they would have made a P938 in an all steel HD. The made a few prototypes and listed it in the catalog...

    Is there anything particular to consider with a BERETTA 92 A1 ammo wise?

    “The owners manual says, "no +p".’ Mine says they don‘t recommend “extended“ use of plus P, or plus P plus, or sub-machine gun ammo. (Emphasis is mine.)

    Snappy .380 pistols

    Here's your answer -- too bad it's discontinued. But, there is the Girsan MC 14T.

    Snappy .380 pistols

    I think the extended seven round magazine makes a world of difference shooting the LCP with little size penalty.

    Pistols that have polymer/ plastic slide rails

    I was a fan of the P95 and remember reading that a form of the same Dow Isoplast that Ruger used for the frame was also used to make some heavy bumpers and large industrial gear wheels. Apparently it is very tough stuff and holds up to a slide quite well. Plus, the Ruger rails, though short...

    Is the S&W 442/642 the perfect pocket gun?

    I find Hogue Bantams to work just fine and they are my choice. Grippy enough but not so much to be problematic. Plus they work great with speedloaders.

    Small framed revolvers

    Why not just use Remington 125 grain medium velocity Golden Sabers (1220 fps/4 inch)? Or something like Winchester 110’s (1295 fps/4 inch)?

    Ruger LCP

    They still make the standard LCP. It’s a second generation with a “slightly” more pre-cocked hammer and consequently “slightly” lighter trigger but essentially still the original LCP, I prefer it over the newest LCP II. https://ruger.com/products/lcp/specSheets/3701.html

    One of them little flat pistols, maybe?

    I like the standard LCP, the second generation, not the LCP II. The thing that makes it really work for me is the Ruger 7 round extended magazine. Has little to no negative affect on carry and 7+1 in a very flat, light pocket pistol with enough grip to hold. I also think the slightly longer...

    Best FACTORY 158 grain load for S&W Model 19

    I have not read every reply but the CCI Blazer 158 grain .357 is only loaded to 1150 fps from a 4 inch barrel. Sounds like it might be what you want. edited to add: I see Nullcone beat me to it.
