MannerSaurus 10/21/17 3:16:18 PM #1:	Nothing special. My sidearm that I was carrying during the wreck was a FEG AP~MBP in .32ACP, and I had carried that gun for nearly 8 years. When I got it back from the hospital, it was broken and no longer held the magazine inside the magazine well.. I'm guessing they ripped it out without pressing the button correctly or something of that nature. I'm not mad, they were trying desperately to save my life... but the fact of the matter is... that was my carry gun. And I got a permit to carry a firearm because I want to protect the people I love, and now the gun was broken. So, anyways, I purchased a Bersa Thunder .380ACP, which is a similar weapon to the one I broke (both are Walther PPK clones), except the Bersa is much more modern, and I also wanted a little more projectile than a tiny .32ACP. I'm waiting on the holster from Amazon (you can tell from the picture that the trigger guard is a little bigger so it doesn't fit right in the same holster, despite being based on the same gun), but I bought it yesterday and test fired it today... worked perfectly. Was accurate at 10-30 feet ranges, fed/extracted/ejected like a dream. For the record, like Zangulus, this also qualified a little as "RETAIL THERAPY". It's hard to enjoy anything in the world with the horrible shit I'm coping with, but purchasing a new gun was like purchasing a new video card or car part. Something positive to take my mind off of everything for a minute. Old sidearm on top, new on bottom. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/2000x1124/80-20171020_143342_6a67f865e1794817ecab299dcaa2a220d322735e.jpg --- IT'S TOO LATE... TO GO BACK... I let darkness.. seep through the cracks... Love is bleeding, I curse my breathing... the day is gone.. the day is gone... <cite>MannerSaurus posted [p:888861868] in Just bough...

Trying to find the best balance between concealment (I live in FL, summer clothes is almost year round), power, control etc. I enjoy larger caliber weapons like .357 Magnum and .45ACP, but I can't group them in double tap or 3-round groups effectively, and many of the guns chambered in them are too large to carry with summer clothes. I agree that .32ACP was too small, but .380ACP seems just about perfect for my concealed carry. --- IT'S TOO LATE... TO GO BACK... I let darkness.. seep through the cracks...

I don't see what a difference 1 makes. Also, even while crying to my friend on the phone, my mental relationship with the gun was "I should really oil that up so I can keep her safe when I visit her." I'm having problems that are deep, but I have no desire to hurt myself because of them. --- IT'S TOO LATE... TO GO BACK... I let darkness.. seep through the cracks...

They do, I bought a box of hollow points for carrying, 20 rounds for about $15. I also got a box of 50 FMJ rounds for the range for free with the purchase, and $40 off the price of the gun.
