dmagicglock Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Really? a Kel-Tec? One of my carry guns is a ruger lcp .380, its nice to have to take with me when I want something more concealed than my glock. You carry the right ammo and have good trigger control some of those small guns can be very effective. But i've never fired a kel tec so I can't testify to their reliability?

Disclaimer Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Beware of those early model LCPshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_LCPI haven't shot the Ruger .380, but I swear to God that those .38s have more felt recoil than my .357, my .40, or the .45 I shot. I think it's because they're so light compared to the others - at least that's the impression I got after shooting my ol' mans .380.

I think it's because they're so light compared to the others - at least that's the impression I got after shooting my ol' mans .38.they do have quite a bit of recoil, it might be because you can only get one hand on it really. Even with the mag extension it doesn't help much, but lets face it this is a gun you probably wouldn't use for more than 10 feet away. But if you fired a small .38 it might have more kick than a .380 because a .380 cartridges are for pistols not revolvers and they have a shorter length of the bullet with less powder behind the slug.

Disclaimer Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Yea, I meant .380 ACP. My bad. It's the .380 that I thought kicked... those are still small pistolsI have .38 spc for my SP101 and that's WEAK stuff (.38 spc) - but the Ruger is all polished stainless, so it's got a little mass to it.I went back and edited my previous post to clear up the .380 vs. .38 cartridges I meant to say (.380 was what was meant) Edited June 30, 2009 by JRMMiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only carries 5 bullets tho'... if you have a ruger revolver now, you'd love this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm not worried about CCW, so I have these. I'll either learn to carry the hulkish SP, or get another. Probably get another.I don't know why the hammer looks orange... it's not orange, it's stainless like the rest of the revolver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nothing against small guns, Hell I carried a walther P22 for a while, still love that little fucker. With almost no recoil the second shot is virtually instant, no reaiming required. a .22 may not be as messy as a larger caliber but I'll be damned if it's not gonna stop a run of the mill thug. Yeah someone hell bent on killing you will keep comming, but then again if they had that as their only goal I doubt you'd have a chance to get your side arm out anyways. I have just never heard a positive thing about Kal-tec. there was a woman in my CCW class that had one and it was a 50/50 guess if the thing would fire or not, the instructor had nothing good to say about them either. I have and LOVE my XD45 ACP, it's the tactical model, 4" barrel short grip, Honestly one of the nicest hand guns I've ever shot (not that I've shot every one ever made but I've had my hands on a few) the only thing I like better, and if I had an extra grand laying around I'd have one, is my old mans Kimber Ultra Carry II. THAT is 20lbs of punch in a 5lb bag. amazingly light and very well ballanced. Only complaint about it is it doesn't seem to like Hollow points, they have a tendancy to jam the gun, so he carrys std round nose ammo.
