Re: Opinions on Pocket Guns (aka fake guns...)
As the topic is Pocket guns, I thought I'd post this link for your reading. It's a good article on self-defense, and the use of the lowly .380 in the use of that self-defense. It is a recount of an actual event.
It is presented by Massad Ayoob, who borders on legendary status when it comes to self-defense tactics, training and firearms.
In no way do I consider a .380 a fake gun. There are more powerful calibers out there to be sure, but do not discount the caliber to be ineffective.
Please give this a good read, and consideration. It's worth it:

Re: Opinions on Pocket Guns (aka fake guns...)
gtrman66, I think you'll be hard pressed to find one person that has shot all 3. Probably your best course of action would be go to a gun range and rent all 3 guns and try them out yourself.
I know for certain that Winchester Gallery in Ft.Worth has the LCP & the P3AT that you can rent and try out because I saw them there 2 weeks ago. Not sure about the Taurus one.
Trying a gun out before you buy it, is like test driving a car. By doing so you assure yourself of getting a gun that meets your expectations and you won't be disappointed.
