Mods, I hope you can leave this in General Handguns as I need info on BOTH revolver and semi.
Anyhow....I have a bad thumb. A ...real....bad thumb. Presently my CCW gun is a steel frame M36 Smith in .38 Spl. I am considering a .380 to relieve the recoil on the thumb.
My issuing authority will ONLY allow .38 cal and UP. .380 is ok but no .32 (which I had until they changed the rules)
The last .380 I owned was a CCW in a jurisdiction that allowed ANY caliber AND no requirement for qualification.
Which brings me to question #1. What is the most accurate .380? Need 9 ring accuracy in B27 target at 15 yards.
Don't want a Makarov because of size.
The M36 is well within the accuracy range as I shoot 296/300 with it.
But it hurts.
Especially with my "carry" rounds. I "qualify" with wadcutters so the 30 round string doesn't cripple me. I can "stand" the Silvertip carry rounds and hit with them but will not use for an extended period.
My last .380 was a German PPK/S assembled in US. I don't recall the accuracy as it was long ago. Is the SIG better? Or another?
Mainly thinking of accuracy for the qualification requirements.
Also, I'm including a poll on which caliber just to check opinions on changing at all. I also realize that the revolver is more RELIABLE.
Any suggestions welcome.
