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

[JEVapa]

Yes

Appreciate all the replies everybody. I like what I am hearing. Sounds like I need to experiment with some different varieties and maybe shoot better quality mini semi-autos. I can see their place

This one is kinda fun.

The Ruger LCR/LCRx are fun little guns. I have these in 22 mag and 327 Federal. The 327 Federal is a real handgun and the cartridge is powerful enough for the two legged varmits one might encounter. I'm not sure if these qualify as "mouse guns".

I have Ruger LCP and it is not much fun to shoot.

Yes yes to the above

never fired a bobcat/tomcat but i imagine they are around the pinnacle of mouse guns. for the ones i've shot, if i was just going to rank them real quick without much thought in terms of "enjoyable" to shoot i'd go:

j frame > seacamp > lcp max > beretta pico > bodyguard > uuuuuh i'm sure there's a few i'm forgetting like random derringers or whatever

not to say the bodyguard is a bad choice, in fact i carry it more often than really any of the others, but there's no doubt an all metal mouse gun is by far more enjoyable. and the pico is really underrated imo, it's THIN has good sights for a mouse gun (the lcp max is way better about this than the og version which....i don't think have rear sights. i mean not really like you'd need 'em, but whatev).

and, if we're comparing them to the like the next step up, say a subcompact in 9mm, then i actually prefer shooting mouse guns, and definitely prefer carrying one. only until you get into the compact sizes like a ppk, cz pcr, etc etc that i think the extra size is worth it. subcompact 9mms are still imo substantially bigger than mouse guns, and JUST as unpleasant or worse.

its quite a bit of a step up from a "mousegun" but i have very much enjoyed every day carry and shooting the glock model 26/27's isnt anywhere as bad as it was when i had the lcp2.
that being said, i absolutely love the beretta 92fs model. its disappointing that its such a heavy large pistol because other than it not being practical for carry because of these reasons, its everything id dream of and desire in a pistol. i feel more confident and comfortable handling one of those than any other pistol.

Not sure if it quite fits into "mouse gun" size but having shot my FIL's Glock 42 I can say that that is a nice shooting little pistol.

I enjoy shooting my PPK/s and carry it sometimes during the summer when I don’t feel like carrying something bigger.
