Cheap 380 for Plinking

>>28366233

That piece of shit is made by Umarex like the P22 and M&P22. It feels like pot metal because it IS.

Whatever money you save by buying the gun will be spent with fucking expensive ammo. Just get a .22 or 9mm

I have both, and .380 ammo is not expensive at all if you know where to look. I'm just trying to brainstorm what's out there.

If you can find one the CZ83 is a pretty nice pistol. I own a Bersa Thunder and it was my carry pistol for close to 10 years. Been very reliable for me.

This, or a ppk, but a cz83 would probably be your best bet

>22lr for plinking

Why?
What's even the point when you can reload .25 acp with buckshot for a fraction of the price.

>Bersa Thunder 380

I'd avoid that. My dad got one a few years back and it bricked itself within about 50 rounds. He took it to a gunsmith who said that the barrel had expanded so much in once place that he couldn't get the slide off. Bersa's warranty stuff was such a pain in the ass that my dad never bothered following through for a new gun, although to be fair that wasn't really Bersa's fault, a lot of the TX retailers that Bersa approved for warranty stuff had just closed down around that time.

Also, my dad also has one of the S&W licensed PPK copies and it kind of sucks. Still works though.

>isn't a pocket gun

CZ used to make the CZ83, and there are some Makarovs in .380 that were made specifically for import to the US. Neither is big, but I wouldn't call either a pocket gun.

Show where to look, I have a PPK/S I need to feed. Cheapest I found was Freedom Munitions, they recently had a 5% off sale so I stocked up

Don't buy cheap Umarex junk.

If you want a nice midsize .380, and are OK spending close to $600, look at the Browning 1911-380.

Or, wait for the new RIA Baby Rock, it should be closer to $400.

Alternatively, look at a Beretta 84. It's a nice double-stack .380, virtually no recoil, great ergonomics, perfect size. Older ones like the 84BB (manual safety, no decocker) are $250-$300. The new production 84FS is about $600, used ones a little cheaper.

cheapest thing I can think of while still being good is a mak. Maybe the ruger LCP but the mak is more comfortable to shoot. All others

MP Bodyguard?

>>28366736

Yeah, I was going to order on FM if I get a .380. Their prices are really good on .380, .44mag, .357, .45 Colt, etc.

Thanks everyone for the CZ83 suggestion, looks really interesting. Might buy
