My wife and I have had several of the small pocket pistols, 380s and the small 9mms, and once we are satisfided that a perticular gun is going to be reliable we will carry it, and from time to time run a couple of mags at the range, or if we have a freind with us they may want to shoot it, but no way is it going to be used for doing targets, or any extended range use, but shooting those compared to the larger sub compact or compact size is not going to get it, yes some people can group well, but the little guns are just too uncomfortable to shoot a lot, and that 14 mile long trigger is just unacceptable, maybe good for safety but I'm not so sure, if you shoot only that one little pistol, fine you get used to it, but if its used as a bug, or just a extra gun that long trigger may get you in trouble, we have tryed a bunch of them, the LC9, LCP, DB9, and the DB-380, Bodyguard-380, and the Taurus 709 and TCP-380, out of the bunch all we ended up keeping are the two Taurus 738s, the 709 is a good 9mm, and we did keep them for quite a while, but we traded them for a XD-9 and Glock 19, we had a G-26 and G-27, never could get used to the short grip, and did not like the extended mags, XD-9 just seemed to have a better feel, another thing that bothers me about the small light stuff is the questionable reliability, at least till its broken in, after what? 200-300 rds dont forget to add that to the cost if your going to carry it, I see a lot of people buy there LC9, LCP, TCP, or whatever, buy the gun take it out back run a couple of mags, then carry it or put it in there night stand, and trust there life to it,? that is absolutly nuts, it may jam when you need it the most, I know some will come back with I have run 400-500+ rds or more with there LCP or whatever and had no trouble at all, I find this questionable, but IF they really did good for them, our testing and what I have reserached have said otherwise
