They're not made for comfort. It's a small gun, there's no way around that. Theyre made for concealed carry and that's about it haha

I am gonna disagree with you, they may be a small gun and made for concealed, but if you aren't comfortable holding it in your hands, you will never be comfortable shooting it. In order to be accurate and deadly in the right situations, you need to be comfy with your gun in hand and your shooting posture. If not it could very well be your life instead of the low life criminals. I would rather adjust my clothing for a slightly larger gun that set le gun I do not feel comfortable with

I agree. And while shot placement is very important with any defensive handgun its even more so with the small 380 round. I feel comfort and fit are a big part of how well you shoot.

I have put many many rounds through my 380 in order to become "comfortable" with it. At this point I am very accurate with it and wouldnt be too worried about missing my target. There's a few different definitions of comfort here... What's going to be more comfortable in the hand, a keltec p3at or a full size kimber...?

I'll do more damage with a Spyderco Civilian than any 4 380's up close and personal...

A knife is a good thing to have. Mine is nothing that tacti-cool though.
