Polish P-64 9mm Makarov
Pros are:
1 Ammo is available online at prices comprable to 9mm Lugger.
2. Baliticly similar to .380 ACP
3. Simple working mechanisms, and few moving parts.
4. Nothing that snags on it. Sight blade is pretty well rounded and smooth. The saftey has never hung up in my pocket.
5. No mag catch on the side do drop the mag in my pocket.
6. DA/SA
7. 6+1 capacity
8. Affordable at a price of under $200 (mine was $200 OTD with 400 rounds of ammo, and a pocket holster)
9. Very reliable in over 1000 rounds so far mine has not had a single problem at all.
Cons are:
1. Heavy (it is all metal, this can be plus for some that hate polyguns)
2. Trigger in DA is hefty at about 12# DA, and hairy at about 2# in SA(I personaly like the first one being hard with a pocket gun.)
3. Limited choice in defensive ammo. Hornady make some good hollow points for this one, other than that all I know of are bear brands of ComBlock stuff, though it is pretty inexpensive.
4. No slide catch lever. Last shot hold open with emty mag.
5. Euro mag release on bottom. If you want to reload quickly it is not as fast as the ones on the trigger guard. (Still faster than a revolver with speed strips.)
6. Recoil. I put it on par with snub .38 spcl with some real hot +p loads.
If it were all I could carry I would not be worried at all.
