.380 which one?

I've shot the Kel-Tec many times, and it's a great "little friend".

The only other .380 I've shot is mine, which is a Taurus PT-58. Not exactly what I would consider great for CC, as it's pretty heavy. Great gun, no problems with it, but it's way heavier than my Glock 23.

does the micro eagle have a safety?

Check out the new SIG 238 which is based on the old Colt Mustang design, SA and can be carried L&L. The MSR price is about $520, but they are going for more on the auction sites as it was just released this month, however I've seen a few at dealers in the mid $400 range.

I personally own an LCP which I like can carry daily, but I'm interested in one of these too.

That Sig is interesting but at over 15 ounces it is too heavy for me.

My NAA 22 mag = 6.2 Oz
My P3AT = 8.3 Oz
My J frame .357 = 11.5 Oz (PD340)
Sig P238 = 15.2 Oz.
My PT111 = 18.7 Oz

Just too heavy for me.

It is a nice looking gun but if I got one my wife would probably immediately use it on me.

1970's to 1990 Walther PPK/s (carried by police departments and spy agencies around the globe)

or

Bersa CC (concealed Carry) it is smaller than the Bersa Thunder and 380.

or

Sig P232 (expensive)

My wife loves her LCP

I have both the Bersa thunder and Kel-Tec P3AT 380's have had no trouble with ether one. The lack of saftey on the Kel-Tec has not been a concern because of the trigger pull. I like the feel of the Bersa but for in your pocket or on your ankle the Kel-Tec is great.

Some Makarovs have been made in .380 ACP instead of 9mm x 18. It seems like a pretty rugged reliable design.

I've had a PPK/S for years. Love it. Carry with the safety off, hammer down, and get the first shot off Double-Action. Small, flat, comfortable, reliable...with an IWB holster or a Fobus paddle, it can't be beat. And the .380, while not a major caliber, is a snotty little round that can make a mess of your day if you're on the 'catching' end.

One man's opinion.

My BUG is a Ruger LCP. Functions great, accurate enough, lightweight, easy to conceal. I carry it loaded with Hornady Critical Defense: a great combo.
