Does anyone actually enjoy shooting semi-auto “mouse guns”?

I have an LCP, and had a KelTec P3AT. I shoot the LCP about once a month, just a couple mags for familiarization. I don't bother with fancy "defense" loads. It's a 380; FMJ for penetration, and be done with it.

I don't enjoy shooting it, but I do carry it (sometimes, anyway) and feel that if I carry it I need to be familiar with it.
The LCP does the job it's designed to do; deep concealment, GOMG (get off me gun). I don't anticipate having to use it, but...

I have a Browning .380 light weight very accurate, with JHP absolute!

All mouse guns should be .32 ACP, except the Beretta 21A, which should be suppressed.

I have a Kel-Tec P32 and a Beretta 81bb. Both are pleasant and fun to shoot. The suppressed 21A is very fun to shoot.

The smaller it is the less I want to deal with it. Which is why the wife is on call 24/7.

My little Garcia 380 puts them all in the kill zone at 10 yards and is pleasant to shoot. It is my warm weather carry.

I have two keltec’s, in .380 and .32, both are very reliable and certainly accurate enough for a belly gun. I don’t consider either to be uncomfortable to shoot when shooting 2 or 3 magazines

I practice with a Sig P-238 .380 on a regular basis. Easy to shoot as many rounds as you want, but it is a little larger and heavier than some mouse guns. It has good sites and smooth action.

Just curious if anyone out there enjoys shooting tiny little .380s and such. Personally I don’t like them… I guess they work as a “get off me gun” for people who wear light clothes with no belt. Nothing else

My dad came out to my place over the weekend, we did some pistol shooting. He brought his LCP, LCP Max, p365( better) etc. he likes small compact guns. Personally i much prefer a Glock 26 or 19 for carry 90% of the time.

Those 2 little LCPs are miserable to shoot, in my opinion. Sharp snappy recoil right into web of hand, poor trigger, difficult to be accurate at distance, etc

My dad hates the “fat grip” double stacks have. All while I’m consistently ringing a 12” gong at 35yds with my Glock 26 and he can’t hit crap past 10yds with that LCP haha!

I also disagree with these little mouse guns often being pushed towards beginner female shooters. Just because they are small, light weight, and sold in pink lol. Truthfully IMO they are one of the hardest handguns to shoot accurately!

It’s a get off me gun.. Slightly more range than just carrying a knife. In this category I’d rather go hammerless .38 snubbie with +p ammo. More versatile IMO

Live and let live, my absolute favorite is my GSG Firefly, fun and cheap, my carry is a G43

Love shootings my PPK/S and my PP pistols. don't carry them but
great range toys. 7.65, .380 and .22's. All run great and are a lot of fun.

I call the micro .380's and .32's belly guns. When bubba has you on the ropes, put it into their belly and pull the trigger.
I've carried a Keltec P3AT since the first generation so much that my work jeans have a pattern on the front pocket outlined just like a skoal can in the back pocket.
It was in a holster so nobody could see what it was.
Terrible trigger pull just like the Ruger model but it's a last resort gun IMHO that I never leave home without that can be concealed when other firearms can't. I live most of my life now in shorts and a Tshirt. Not many ways to conceal a full size firearm with that garb. Any firearm is better than no firearm.

I carry as 34 beretta quite a bit. Not bad to shoot but not exactly a mini. It will fit in pocket of jeans but barely
