It's just a cheapie little squirt gun, but it's nicely made,

I have a Bersa 95 in .380, thousands of rounds later it is still holding up fine.

The same. Nice little pistol.

Well made (machined metal! WE on topic - sorta)

Have you seen the Micro Desert Eagle .380? I fondled one today. Very
nice piece of work, also quite pricey. Excellent DA trigger. It did
not follow me home.

No, don't think I've seen that one.
But sorry it didn't follow you home...

I picked out the Bersa at the San Antonio gun show one summer.
It was the smallest thing I could find that I could get my whole hand on.
And the price was way right.

I've probably put maybe 1000 rounds through it.
(Back when bullets were cheap. .380 is really high now!)

I think going to the range is a great dating idea!

well, no telling what else might happen...

I've handled one of those. I liked it.

That's just nuts. .380 is a 9mm short, 2mm shorter than 9mmp with a
lighter bullet -- and ammo costs nearly double. I never thought
reloading .380 would make any sense, but last summer ammo prices rose
to where the amortization time for the dies dropped to under 1 year.

It was fairly inexpensive purchased during a time I was concerned that I did have someone
that wanted to do me harm.

Given the small size, it gives respectable feedback, recoil wise when you touch it off.
Magazines are a bit pricey.

I've shot Lee 102g cast bullets and jacketed out of it. Nice thing about a blow back
action is the barrel has no links or bushings. I always shoot better with it or my .357
Ruger Security Six target model.

Yup. About a year ago the Ruger LCP was going for about $280. Recent
price at Gander was $389. When I went to buy some .22 rimfire ammo
last week at Wal-Mart they had NO handgun ammo larger than .22. They
used to always have 9mmp, .357 mag, .40 S&W and .45ACP and usually
some .380ACP.

Just goes to show how much the public trusts the Obamassiah..and what
they are willing to do to prepare for the Day.

Shrug..works for me!

Im glad others are buying lots and lots of guns and ammo. I was not
looking forwards to shooting all those Leftwingers. Im glad to see
others are preparing for the Day.
It will help take the load off me.

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr

Grow up, Gunner!
I have no intentions of shooting ANY body.
That **** wears hard on the soul.

What I'd like to hear is Gunner calming down a bit.
Like to keep the old fart around for a while longer.

People have been hoarding since the election in fear of anticipated
shortages or unavailability. This increased demand has created the
very shortages and price increases they feared. A dealer in St. Cloud,
MN told me that people who don't even reload have been buying primers.
They hope to scalp them for profit at gun shows, etc. His store got a
shipment in, sold 100K primers in 4 hours a bit over a week ago.
Another guy told me that Gander has 3 million primers on order.

Things will settle down. They are already starting to -- but the
price hikes have stuck, fancy that. I found some primers here in town
this week for about $40 per 1000. Last fall they were about $22 per
1000.
