[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 2377592, member: 3906"] The problem many (No all) have with some of the small semi-auto pistols chambering the first round is because they either did not or misread the instructions. To chamber the first round on several small semi autos; take the magazine out of the pistol, load the magazine, do not put it back in the magazine well yet, now pull the slide back and charge the pistol, make sure the slide locks back in the slide open position, now insert the magazine, make sure it clicks securing the magazine in the magazine well, then let the slide slam forward by either pressing the slide release or while pressing the slide release pull back on the slide and release it letting it pick up a cartage. If you are a person that loads your magazine full, then now release you magazine and put another cartridge in it, then replace it in the magazine well, make sure it seats. The OP said he was looking for a pistol with these requirements: No revolvers Has to be small to comfortably carry in his pocket No revolvers Has to be in the $300.-$400. range 9mm - .380 As one person said earlier this limits your choices, he did not say it had to be new, this now opens up the choices, some. He owns Lorcin so he is open to lower quality weapons, but for protection I am sure he wants one that will work every time. In the new I would suggest a Ruger LCP In used it all comes down to what he can find in the $300. - $400. range and hoping that someone is not wanting a New In The Box Price for it. He might find a used Khar, or Springfield Armory XD or XDS in that price range. He has restricted himself by stating he does not want a revolver. Good luck, Mark [/QUOTE]
