Ruger LCP. My local aviation supply Big R had them for $260 USD Saturday and I missed it.

About a year ago I took a 67 year old ex-PanAm Stewardess (back when they were called stewardesses and were ALL pretty) for a ride in my new RV-7. She informed me she was a "taildragger pilot". You gotta love it.

And for the "topic" I bought some avgas and slipped a few surlys.

That little Ruger looks a lot like a knock off of the Kel-Tec P-32 and then the P3AT .380.



I bought one of each - one for myself and one for my wife. They are tiny but you're not going to hit anything much further out than seven yards.

I own a few handguns but don't really shoot much anymore as the cost of ammo has become prohibitive. But I will say that of all of them my Glock model 30 subcompact .45 really shines. I've put thousands of rounds through it and it has never failed to feed and for a short barreled gun it's very accurate. My #2 favorite is a jewel at a bargain basement price, the CZ-75B.
