The Gun Thread

[BlindLemonChicken]

I like my 380 ok. I had to learn to hold it properly and there are easier brands to shoot but I will keep mine because it’s an easy conceal weapon and I’m comfortable with it. Fear the man with one gun goes the saying. I have another pistol but it is a headache and if that doesn’t get remedied I will back to using the 380 exclusively as my pocket pistol

I tried shooting different handguns when I took a class. The 9mm recoil hurt my arthritic thumb joint, but the 380s didn't. The easiest slides were the Sig Sauer and the Walther.

If my son goes with me to the range I'm okay. I really can't afford another gun. You know, SS doesn't give much for extras.
And I can only get 2-3 bullets in the clip then it's too tight for my hands too load, so he loads them for me. Also, he's 5'10" so he can hang the targets. It works out, and I'm happy to find something that he & I enjoy doing together.

I have the same problem. A mag loader lets me fill the clip without issues.

That's why I like it. The size is great. I can put it in a CD case to carry it. Hard to hook a holster on leggings or yoga pants

The mag loader is a game changer! I don’t mind asking my husband to open a jar but asking him to load my magazines all the time was getting old

I've also seen loaders that you slide the mag into from the top (inverted) and load the rounds that way. No thumb strain at all. just push down and slide the mag forward The spring in the mag does all the work.

Your thumb will thank you...
