    I have also heard good things about the Sig P238. It's a lot like the old mustangs. I have not personally shot one but one of the guys that I shoot with at the range wife carries it. he said they have ran about 1000 rounds through it with no issues. Also, it's probably the best looking .380 I have ever seen.

    have both a kel tec and ruger in 380 each are easy to pocket carry, both very nice but prefer the kel tec, ammo is a little expensive though.

    I agree with others above, put it in her hands and find what is comfortable. I have a Bersa, but like others have said, ammo is a little hard to come by. With that said I would try a 9mm in a compact Glock.

    Kel-Tec 380 vs their 9mm?

    I was looking at picking up a couple KetTec P-3AT .380's for stock and noticed they have a PF-9 single stack 9MM that has a 7rd mag which weights 12.7oz. They also have a P-11 Sub Compact 9MM with a 10rd mag which weights 14oz. Any feedback on these compared to the P-3AT? :dunno:

    I know 9MM ammo is a lot easier to get. I have a order to go in for mags tomorrow and figure I might as well add a couple guns seeing they are in stock.
