Before there were micro-Nines, subcompacts, and whatever, there were truly tiny pistols. The purpose was for extreme deep concealment, situations where being found to be armed could be more than a serious problem.

I had the Kel Tec P3At and then the Ruger copy of it both. I liked the way both carried and shot. But both had the unacceptable habit of dropping the magazine. Sometimes in the holster sometimes a finger would hit the release. It was very tiny and the button was high. I even filed them down and it slowed but never went away.

The headlines seek to promise a lot more than the article delivered. I looked forward to it and now that I've read it, it was a waste of time.

The smallest pistol I’ve ever shot was a Walther PPK/s in 380 ACP. It was actually easy to shoot. I think that would be the smallest I would go. Anything smaller would be uncomfortable for my big hands

I suppose my 1908 Colt Vest Pocket .25 would count as a micro; the NAA .22 mag mini revolver, too.
The Sig P238 is slightly bigger, but pretty close to the LCR, so…

There's still a time and place for the LCP.

My smallest pocket carry is a 642-2 Airweight.
I do have a EC9 that needs to go back to Ruger, keeps dropping mags

I have 2 micro guns, Jimenez .25, and Beretta Pico .380, both pocket guns…..both very reliable…..
This article just backs up my view (as well as serious trainers like Bolke and others) in the 13-17oz small guns you just can not beat a DA internal hammer revolver.
Revolvers are not dependent on a certain grip to allow the slide to work because you run it with a your finger. It won’t stovepipe because of a poor grip or fabric getting in the way. Amd can be fired in a pocket as well as it’s about as safe of a design that can be had. While not optimal to violate any safety rules when the fecal matter hits the air rotation device a revolver is more forgiving of such oopseies!

First and only gun that ever slide bit me, hard!
Made it to range today to try out the PPK/S I picked up yesterday. Figured I’d bring along the Emissary and knock out another 100 rounds of FMJ on my way to 500 before .45 JHPs.
Since I was just basically running rounds through the Emissary, through up the target at 7yds, then 10 fast rounds into each circle which resulted in some mag reloading practice (always good). Shooting PMC Bronze 230g w/830 fps at muzzle. No surprises other than three of four grip screws starting coming loose.
Next up was the never fired PPK/S. Fired 50 rounds of...

I have always wanted a Walther PPK, like most guys my age, but now that I can get a 9 mm that is smaller with better sights...so the Sig Sauer P938 got the vote. Still want the PPK though....
