Return to “FS: DB380 dissapointed”
Oh yea-Shooting it is a chore, but the reward is a comfortable, easy gun to carry. Now I wouldn't eat my vegetables without a biiiiig slice of about 200 rounds through my Taurus 94 afterward (Can't wait for my new grips-should be here any day).USA1 wrote:Embalmo wrote: For me LCP range time has been more like eating my vegetables; It's not the tastiest, but it has to be done.
That's a pretty good analogy. It's almost like more of a chore than a treat.
For me LCP range time has been more like eating my vegetables; It's not the tastiest, but it has to be done. I've gotten where I can hit the center of the target good enough for self defense at 7 yards and I really need to believe that I can hit the target with a daily carry. Now once I've spent my obligatory time with the LCP then it's time to work with my 9 and play with my .22. I will say this though-When the little LCP was my only hand gun, it was not as fun to go to the range; so buy other guns that are fun to shoot and continue to carry the gun that is fun to carry.Salty1 wrote:The DB does feel better in the hand, it shoots much better than the LCP, has a better trigger, it also looks better although that is subjective. The problem is that they just do not run reliably and that is an issue, a major issue. If the DB was a range gun just maybe it could be tolerable, since it is made for concealed carry I find it totally unacceptable...
It ain't designed to feel good in the hand, it's designed to feel good in the pocket. I carry an LCP in my pocket everyday; I shoot it about once a month. Now if it were the other way around then I would probably hate my LCP.bigred90gt wrote:What got me was the feel in my hand, not so much the looks or the trigger. I actually dont care for the trigger. The pull is EXTREMELY long, and even though I completely understand the reason and agree with the necessity for it, it is obnoxiously long. When I first got it, there were a few times I thought it didnt fire, but realized I just didnt pull the trigger all the way. I dont put aesthetics high on the list, but feel in my hand is king. Aside from the overpriced Sig P238, none of the .380 pocket autos feel good in my hand, and I'm not paying that much for a .380 pocket auto. The Kel-tec, while apparently reliable, feels horrible. The LCP has the same shape and dimensions, just smoother lines, so it is not as rough, but the grip is horrible. The Taurus TCP also feels terrible in my hand.Embalmo wrote:I heard from this forum and others about issues with every part of this gun. It seems that aesthetics is what reels everyone in; well that and the lighter trigger.
