Growing up in Illinois before CCW was legal, I purposely didn't buy tiny 380's. Just too much of a temptation to slip one in a pocket and carry illegally. Not worth the felony.
I did buy a surplus FEG PA-63 in 9x18. Every time I get longings for a Walther PPK, I pull out that FEG and shoot it. That cures me of wanting a Walther. It's altogether uncomfortable to shoot. A small gun shouldn't recoil like that Walther style pistol does!
I handled a Keltec P32 when they 1st came out. Pulled the slide back to check clear and the slide locked back. Neither I nor the Gun Store Clerk could get the slide to release. That experience stayed with me when Keltec released the 3AT pistol.
A couple years ago, I bought a Ruger LCP 380. I can't hit anything with it and don't carry it. Shooting at my 25yd gongs, I put them in the dirt way before the gongs. I wont carry a gun I cant hit a 25yd 10 inch gong with. I had the same issue with a Sig P365 and sold it off for what I had into it when Covid 1st kicked off.
My EDC - around the house and short trips to town, in the summertime, is my Ruger LC9s Pro - pocket carried in Cargo Shorts. Heading to the big city - Branson, Springfield, Mountain Home, I'll OWB my Glock 19. Vacationing in Florida my Ruger LC9s and Glock 19 go with me.
