Re: Pocket carry options

Be sure to try them out if possible.
I've had two Bersas. Overall I liked everything about them, but the SA trigger was just too light.
That sounds a bit odd, but what would happen is I'd shoot the first shot DA, then recoil was enough to trigger the 2nd shot.
So every new magazine started with a double-tap, but the 2nd shot was not controlled. I wasn't really comfortable with the SA trigger anyway. I think it was probably something to do with the way the gun fit my hand, length of trigger pull or ? I probably could have overcome that with training, but as I had plenty of other choices without that issue, I just sold the pistols instead.
As I said I did this twice. The first time was when I was faily new to handgun shooting. A few years later I tried another thinking now that I was an intermediate shooter the issue would not be there. But it was.
I have not had that problem with any other pistol.

I tried carrying a colt Mustang Pocketlite for a while, but it seemed too heavy, so I went back to the P3At or LCP.
The P238 doesn't seem to carry as big or heavy as the Colt for some reason. and sometimes I still carry the LCP.

I see K380s around DFW, but have yet to see a diamondback in the flesh.
Stopped at a small gun store outside Tyler a few weeks ago and saw a new K380 for about $550. Almost bought it.

Re: Pocket carry options

I chose p238, and I have all the usual pocket pistols.
Real Night sites, all metal, 1911 controls.

You might also look at the new Diamondback.
It's a mini-Glock.
