Title: Parade of New Pocket Pistols
Post by: DDGator on January 19, 2009, 11:50:36 AM
Worth noting that there was a wealth of new pocket-sized pistols on display at the SHOT Show this year!

Ruger TCR -- my favorite new gun at the show, a new-design "j-frame" sized revolver with stainless steel cylinder, and a frame that is mostly polymer!  A plastic revolver!  Capable of shooting .38+P and about 13 ounces.  Nice to see Ruger strongly in the CCW market.

Kahr P-380 -- a new .380 that looks a lot like a PM-9, but smaller.  Nice new addition to the Kahr line.

Sig 238 -- a small single-action 1911-like .380.  Sort of a "Mustang" revival!

Magnum Research -- new "Micro Eagle" in .380 discussed in another thread.

Taurus -- also has a new "P-3AT-like" .380 semi-auto.  I can't recall the model designation.  Given Taurus speed to market lately though, this one could be a while still.

All in all, the pocket pistol market is very strong!

Rohrbaugh and Seecamp rule. The rest are pretenders.

Even pretenders are fun to collect and shoot.   :)

I myself will get the Ruger TCR (1st of it's kind) and a Sig 238 (I never had a Pony)..

I already have a Micro 380 and an order in for a Kahr P380.  I'm still on the fence on the sig.  If they make one DA only I will be all over it though.  

The LCR and Taurus just don't do I for me.
