That rug really tied the room together. ![]() |
Looks like Ruger released a new double stack pistol today. Comes with 10 round and 15 round extended magazine. I wish it was larger (4 inch barrel) and lacked a safety, but this is a good start and should be a decent seller for Ruger. Alright Smith & Wesson, time to release a double stack .380 pistol to compete. ![]() ![]() https://www.ruger.com/products...urity380/models.html ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | ||

Thank you Very little ![]() |
Like it, not sure I would swap out my LCP Max 380 though for 5 more rounds and 9 more oz (almost double the weight of the LCP Max) Will have to check it out though... | |||

Ruger saw how many EZ and now equalizers S&W is selling, and wanted in on the party. In all fairness, they were into concealed hammer guns for a long time. | |||

Is that portng, or just lightening holes, in the slide? | |||

Just like those holes on the SIG Spectre PRO or whatever. Q | |||

Is it DAO or DA/SA ? Looks to be the same size as the 365 to me. | |||

Those holes look like lightening holes. You can see the solid barrel underneath in the top picture. Plus, that amount of porting would vent off almost all of the gas. | |||

Still finding my way![]() |
I'd rather keep the .0002 ounces than to have those holes drilled in the slide. Terrible trend right now and ugly. | |||

Could be a nice gun for those in the EZ/equalizer/pk380 type realm. Haven’t seen one in person yet but if it’s easy rack, high capacity, and good price price seems like it could do well. Msrp is under smith.. I’m assuming street price will be around $300 which is around $100 less than ez380 so it could be a good buy And I like slide cuts so I think it looks cool | |||

LCP Max 12rd mag does not add much length, so you're only gaining 3 more rounds for a lot more size & weight. | |||

Larger size pistols have less recoil and are easier to use for those with hand strength issues. This gun isn’t meant to compete with ultra small conceal carry pistols like the LCP Max. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

It's internal hammer-fired DAO. And, it's slightly bigger than the P365. Q | |||

It needs to be uglier. Hayzoos Kristo ![]() This is what the current trend in pistol texturing looks like to me: ![]() Oh, yeah, all of it is pasta, and that's about it. Put this texture next to those serrations, and drill some holes in the slide, maybe towards the front or on the sides or on the back and top. Whatever you do, make it a complete trainwreck to the human eye. You're required by law under the Fugly Pistol Act of 2012 to make your pistols look like shit. Don't forget the fragile-looking front sight with the zombie green insert. . | |||

Thanks Q, I like the DAO but like most the slide holes and anemic attempt at front slide serrations make it weird. I like Ruger pistols but they could have done better. | |||

I’ll stick with my SIG P238. If I didn’t get ‘im in 8 rounds I’d be shaking so much I couldn’t shoot straight anyway. And it’s much more concealable. Serious about crackers | |||

One of these came through my local fun store 2 weeks ago in pristine condition so I acquired it. What it lacks in looks it more than makes up for in capabilities. The slide is easily manipulated. After a range visit with an older fellow with reduced hand strength and a few women who all were impressed with the reduced tension slide. Accuracy was decent as was the reset on the trigger. My initial $275 investment seems to be a hit. I plan to use this pistol to introduce newbies to the sport. This pistol compares as favorable alternative to the S&W Ez line up. Only possible downside is its caliber (380) but that debate will rage on. ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

This is my wifes' EDC. She absolutely loves it. It's like the EZ 380 but with much better sights & twice the capacity. Easy to rack, accurate & the trigger is pretty good. A pretty good pistol for under $300. (And I have no issues or bias against the 380) Rom 13:4 If you do evil, be afraid. For he does not bear the sword in vain.

Designed under the duress of a bad Fentanyl high. The slide even has the track holes to prove it. -MG | |||

Thank you Very little ![]() |
Perhaps the holes are to lighten the slide and reduce the spring tension needed to move it, which means it will be easier to load a round for those with less hand strength? It's the trend in firearms, perhaps it's what customers want after watching Wick and his custom pistols, much like the demand for the 44 Mag Model 27 when Dirty Harry came out. Also a way for manufacturers to create a smaller lighter carry pistol as laws favor concealed carry nationwide.. | |||
