Affordable small carry gun?

[FrankenCub]

Is there a site you guys use to check for in stock guns at best prices?

 

[FrankenCub]

Gunprime had them in FDE minus the night sites for $299. Guess most I can do is be notified when they have them in stock.

Wikiarms is the only one I know of. Pre-shortage, grabagun.com has had better prices than anywhere else I've seen online – these days they don't have much in stock, but always worth a look.

RIA Baby Rock. it is a .380 acp in a small 1911 format. I have one that I bought just because a shop was closing and got it for $230. I think you can pick them up for around $300 or so. When I need to go IWB I use this.

Great little carry gun. Shoots anything from FMJ to JHP rounds with no issues. Mags are cheap and fit and finish is great. There is a boatload of aftermarket parts as well.

BBR Standard 380ACP 7rd

The Baby Rock has a 3.75" barrel and weighs in at 1.62lbs loaded. Includes stable low profile angled sights designed for consistent accuracy and reliability.

I've pretty much settled on either the MC1 or the PPS, which ever i find in stock in a couple weeks.

 

[FrankenCub]

Wow, this is getting discouraging. I'll have $500 for a gun tomorrow and still finding shit for stock for the Walther or FDE MC1.
Damn scumbags panick buying lol.

It sure if it was mentioned here but the Ruger LCPII is a great pocket pistol. I carry it a lot. It is very easy to shoot also.

 

[FrankenCub]

Found an MC1 in FDE for a reasonable price on Gunbroker. Now to find a local FFL to have it sent to.
The PPS are going way more than I want to spend unfortunately. Gotta love panic pricing.

eta: there's also a PPS LE listed but I think it's going to end before the seller contacts me to answer a question.
Every other PPS is going $500 or better, LE has been looking another $150 on top. Oh well

Mossberg MC1sc was tested extensively, at their 'coming out party' - at Gunsite in Arizona, by 10 or 12 gun writers, over a weeks time. The report, which had nothing but praise for the new pistol, over the course of the week - not one of the handguns experienced any failure to fire - of any kind. - This had NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, IN ANY FIREARMS TESTING, it was truly a FIRST. It was also noted that they operated and cycled flawlessly with 9mm. 'snake-shot' - not many 9's are capable of cycling that type of round. I bought one, and after 1600 rounds, without a hiccup, I bought another one, - when I went to pick up the 2nd one, I bought a third. - Yes, they are that good. 3rd one gifted to my son.

What holster you using for your MC1?

 

[FrankenCub]

Well this MC1 in FDE I was looking at was sold over the weekend and the weekend staff didn't tell the girl in charge of their gunbroker sales. They swapped out the FDE for a black one.

Not sure I want a Shield but they have a bundle with a Shield, some BS and 5 mags

And a used PPS which has a better price than any other PPS I've been seeing. That and they have a much better trigger. Ad claims it's unfired outside the factory.

I could probably work with a Shield but will need upgrades in the near future. Only reason I'm considering the one I listed is because it comes with 5 mags and it's about going price for one with 2.
A 380 isn't in my vocabulary so that rules out many.
I'm pretty set on brand now. Much rather have a Walther if any. The Mossy second only if it's in FDE, and Shield runner up.
I've spoiled myself to Walther triggers lol.

 

[meketrefe]

+1 on the 9mm shield.

 

[FrankenCub]

I'm leaning that way, the Shield I linked to above. Mostly because it comes with 5 mags. I can use the included bag for a well stocked trauma kit. The included first aid kit is probably good for cuts and scratches lol.
Eta.... link says its sold but they have more.

 

[FrankenCub]

All done and paid for. Shield should be at the ffl in a few days.
