Looking for a new pocket .32 or .380, any suggestions?

IMO, if your not doing a polymer 380 then there isn't much reason to get a 380. Get a J frame in 327 or 38. With that said I'm a huge fan of my LCP and P32. I have a all stainless 380 that weighs a lot, I wouldn't even consider carrying it over a lighter LCP or j frame.

I was unaware they made j frames as small as the NAA or Micro Eagles. The J Frames I have seen created a larger bulge in my pocket than the metal 380s

Well, with all due respect, I really wasn't interested in your opinion. I was requesting reviews and suggestions on metal frame 32's/380's and specific reviews on the NAA Guardians and the Micro Desert Eagle. The fact that you do not see value in owning any 380 that's not polymer is probably best expressed in someones else's thread who is actively soliciting that opinion. As written in my opening post, I am not.

Let me be more specific, my AMT Backup has been in storage since I discovered LCP's. I have owned NAA revolvers and love their quality, if I had a need for a heavy 380 I would not hesitate to try a NAA auto.

Thanks for the clarification.

pretttttty!

I have to admit, I love the looks :)

Just got extra mags from MRI today, hoping to get them to the range soon and run some rounds through it. The GunBlast.com review said the Micro will eat any ammo. Can't wait to find out.

I do have to admit the inward arch at the back of the grip makes it very comfortable to hold. And the over sized trigger guard will make it very easy to deploy in winter with gloves on. I will try and give a range report after i shoot it but it may take some time as I only have the one hand to type with.

My girl carries an old frame Colt Mustang that is heavier than the 238 or the new Pocketlite, but it's a heck of a weapon and not big by any stretch. Pretty sure hers is steel, can't be sure, but it's definitely not the aluminum of the Pocketlite.

Man ime glad someone mentioned the sig 238,me personally i went through almost every polimer pistol on the market,ime talking kel-tec mutipile times 2 ruger lcp's and the taurus tcp, even tried the taurus polimer revolver called the protector,anyway spent alot of money and alot of ammo,then finally went to the 238 man i could not be happier to anyone reading spend the extra money and go with the 238 or the new mustang,you will not regret it they are both very pleasurable to shoot so you can use them as a range gun also.just my 2 cents.

I had the p238 and loved it. It shot great and never gave me a miss. I sold it when I went on a snub noise 38 bender then sold the 38 for the Micro Desert Eagle. I've had the eagle for 8 months now and love, love, love it. Looks good, shoots great and carries effortlessly. I can pack it with a spare mag in any pocket and it disappears. Only thing easier to carry is my NAA minis.
