Been MIA for a while, life....
Nutshell, I'm getting old, my health isn't getting better and I'm finding more appreciation for "mouse guns". I've gone from an XD SC to a Hellcat, but I'm wanting something smaller and lighter now. Think sweat pants, underwear, swim trunks small. I'm not the biggest fan of .380, but I'm not going to pay $1,800 for a Rorghbar either, that I probably can't shoot.
As I see it, pro's and con's of both.
Seecamp:
Pro's
It just works, right out of the box.
Stupid small.
It's a marvel of craftsmanship.
It's light.
Same capacity as larger guns.
Con's:
It's stupid expensive for what it is.
No sights.
It's just a bit heavier than some competitors.
The Kahr:
I'm lumping in the "P" and the "CW" as they are both pretty much the same price on the used market right now, yes, there are pros and cons of both, but I'm equating them as equals in this regard.
Pro's:
Considerably cheaper.
Decent sights.
It fits your hand like an actual gun.
You can find mags that don't cost the price of a tank of gas.
Con's:
The break in, even buying used, you will need to test the gun thoroughly!
It's a little larger than the Seecamp.
Yes, I've looked at this field and have weeded out a LOT of guns, LCP, I just don't like it! It feels like shooting a Smith and Wesson Pistol of the '80's, like a 2x4" in your hand.
Sig 238, too heavy, too snappy, and just too expensive.
Diamondback DB9, honestly love the gun, but it's not enough smaller than the Hellcat to appreciate.
Beretta 3032 Tomcat, actually on the short list, but .32ACP, "Meh" and it's going for the same price as the Seecamp on the used market KelTec P3AT, again, on the short list, but a little larger than either the Kahar or the Seecamp, but the price is very attractive and they seem to work well.
Where my mind is at:
I want the Seecamp because it's so small, but the Kahr I can appreciate because it actually feels like a "real" gun.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
