if there is a thread already started similar, then my apologies up front.. I am new to these forums, just recently transferred in to Oklahoma from Tennessee..
I have been looking to purchase one of the small ccw handguns, and have heard alot of pros and cons about each.. some of the models that have been thrown out are the Ruger LCP, or Taurus TCP, even the Keltec P-3AT. Recently i was directed towards the bersa thunder .380 and s&w's newer bodyguard .380.. we also have the new XDm sub compacts.
seems like quite a few great offerings out there.. but i havent shot any of these models..with so many compact options, which one if any pull away from the pack? also, I am not to sure on going with a .380 round.. so wonder if it would be better to move on up to a bit larger handgun to be able to get at least a 9mm. key objective is to find a great ccw weapon to carry in place of some of my larger handguns.. one that is light weight, and easy to conceal even in the warmer months. again if the new OCW passes, then it might not be as big an issue at that time.. then again, this all may simply come down to personal preferences and opinions..
thanks in advance,
Rodney
