SHOT Show 09: Pocket Rockets

[BimmerFreak]

We returned late last night from Orlando Florida (home of W. Disney and his evil empire) and home of the 2009 SHOT Show.

One thing that stuck out this year is that EVERY major manufacturer now recognizes the commercial appeal of the QUALITY small concealable firearm.

With pocket guns flying out the door, it seems that everyone wants a slice of this pie.

So, in addition to the current options:

Ruger LCP

Kel-Tec 3AT and P32

Magnum Micro DE

The customer now has addition options from:

Ruger LCR

Walther 380

Taurus

Sig Sauer 238

Kahr PM380

(I forgot to take pics...sorry)

[Guest Todd@CIS]

Thanks Joe.

Keep the pics coming.

[KahrMan]

Joe,

Did Kahr have a realistic idea of when the PM380 will be out?

[BimmerFreak]

Joe,

Did Kahr have a realistic idea of when the PM380 will be out?

I ordered 20 of the PM380s about 2 weeks ago, and they told me 30-45 days.

I ordered 80 Sig 238s at SHOT, with a projected delivery of March 09.

The first 4 are already sold (Me, Dan, Rod, and Mike ) so that leaves 76 for the rest of you guys...

[Magiccarpetrides]

The sig238 does look pretty awesome and im no .380 fan

[KahrMan]

Do you have pricing yet on the Kahr and Sig?

[BimmerFreak]

Do you have pricing yet on the Kahr and Sig?

Sigs are ~500.00ish (or less) depending on which of the 3 models you purchase.

Kahr will run more...

[KahrMan]

Thanks.

[Guest 70below]

TGO benefactor deal on the P238?

[Guest fastshotivy]

Is the Taurus about the same size as the Kel tec p32?

[Guest bkelm18]

That Sig looks pretty sweet. One day when I'm rich, I shall own one.

[BimmerFreak]

Is the Taurus about the same size as the Kel tec p32?

[Guest eyebedam]

Any idea on the Walther 380?

[Paletiger13]

Tavor?

[Punisher84]

That Walther kinda catches my eye...

[bukowski548]

Hey Joe, did you and the guys pick up one of each of these pistols, or was the Sig just that great? Because if it was nice enough for you guys to impulse buy one, then I may have to get one on general principle.

We are all big 1911/Single Action Only guys, so the Sig 238 fits the bill.

(but yes, the Sig rocks!)

[Troutburger]

I was also at the shot show. The new sig will be my next purchase for sure. Awesome trigger for a pocket pistol.

Now that sounds like a plan. A 1 day benafactor blow out.

I fixed it.

[Guest TylerC]

Damn I thought the LCR would be smaller :/

guess I'll get the sig!

[Almond27]

Joe what were your impressions of the LCR?

[BimmerFreak]

Joe what were your impressions of the LCR?

:poop:

I would recommend the gold standard: Smith and Wesson J-Frame
