I sold my Bersa last year because it was too big for a .380. I replaced it with a Glock 36 that weighed about the same, took up about the same amount of space, and packed a .45 ACP punch. I have nothing against a .380, but for the same size and weight, I'll take a .45 every time.
But the Glock is too big for pocket carry, and there are times when that is the only reasonable option. Right now I pocket carry a 642, but that leaves an unsightly bulge, especially when wearing lighter fabrics like those used in dress slacks. I've been looking for something smaller, but the only thing that works sizewise was the Kel Tec. I love my PLR-16, but the overall quality doesn't inspire confidence. It is accurate at amazing distances for a pistol and packs a serious wallop, but it takes a lot of TLC to keep running reliably. It needs to be very clean and well oiled to keep from being a jamm-a-matic, and I have to clean little bits of plastic receiver shavings off of it after every use. This doesn't make me inclined to go with a Kel-Tec for a carry gun.
I'd been thinking about one of the ridiculously expensive little pocket guns like the Rorbaugh (sp?), or maybe a Kahr, though they are really too big for what I have in mind and in my experience their out-of-the-box reliability has been spotty at best, too.
Now it seems like Ruger has made the exact gun I have been waiting for. I can't wait to try one out, and if I like it I will probably buy two--one for me and one for my wife.
Even the lowly P3AT has an aluminum frame with rails which is inserted in a "plastic" grip.
