But I want a carry gun that's shootable, as in a box or two of practice ammo each week, and I want something flat, narrow as possible, and streamlined. All steel, and not a snubby.<br /><br /> A nice 1930's ('20's,'teens)pocket pistol that lays flat next to the body, has to be .380, no "catchy" square edges to bugger my draw.<br /><br /> O.K., now I put you on the spot. Which of the neat "classic" pistols you've written about comes closest to the above ideal?<br /><br /> Ergonomics, pointing characteristics (remember I shoot a 1911 all day for work) all are relevant. Cost not so much, but I'd hate to wear out a NIB collectors item. If I carry it every day, I want to know it in my muscle memory.Ed Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676740819579030462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-36584610566301277732012-03-18T21:33:11.229-04:002012-03-18T21:33:11.229-04:00Robin,

So much that I often carry it.Cincinnatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424218376882403880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-76365323778645979722012-03-18T17:51:25.705-04:002012-03-18T17:51:25.705-04:00I didn't even know half those guns even existe...I didn't even know half those guns even existed.Tango Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593296126387219845noreply@blogger.com
