Today I shot the first gun I ever fired again, it was nothing special to anyone but me. In fact most say, despite Gun Tests loving it and how it's always done everything a gun is supposed to be, it's a terrible gun. It's a Bryco 48 380auto.
But it's not just a Bryco 48, or even the first gun I've fired to me. It's my mom's gun. She wanted something since she was gonna be alone in the woods. She was a slight woman who didn't like guns at all and hated recoil more so she couldn't handle much, and when we were looking no one made a heavy midsized 380 with a short trigger, or at least one we could find. Even so she wished it was a 32acp, which I don't believe they made.
It's a very light recoiling gun that's decently accurate. It's not a plinker but it wasn't meant to be. It was always sort of fun to fire because of it's lack of recoil. I know the horror stories, and maybe if me and my dad knew anything about guns we would have picked up something else but it was a good choice for her.
Now that my mom has passed i try to remember the happy times. That little 380 has a bunch of rounds thru it and started for me a hobby which I enjoy. We shot it a lot together, later we added a Mark II 22 for more fun but I'll always remember that gun.
Quite a bargain for $99 out the door huh?
