Alex Random replied to Jesse W. Pomeroy's discussion Length of Warranty?"
Were you able to have the firearms fixed or replaced under their warranties, or were the defects found after the time ran out? What was the timeframe in which you found out that the guns were bad?"

- Hi Jesse,
Tried to reply yesterday but probably did so in the wrong place. Anyway, I am always looking for the "ideal" pocket gun and am thinking about getting a Seecamp .32. But I noticed that you have the .380 and would love to know why you chose that over the .32, as I value your opinion.
I used to own a Gaurdian .380 and did not like it for a number of reasons - harsh recoil being only one factor (and I am growing older by the minute). But I know I can handle a small .380.
I currently own, and love, a Kahr P380, where as I was not as enamored with the Kahr PM9 (and sold it last year). But there are times when even the small P380 is just a little to big. Besides, I will likely carry the Noberg instead of the Kahr P380 once I get that gun.
So that leaves me with the desire to get a real small pocket pistol for the times that the Kahr or Boberg are just a little too big to carry in the Florida heat. And I am torn between the Seecamp .32 and .380.
Any thoughts will be most appreciated - especially since it appears we are so much alike in many ways.
Thanks,
Larry

Thanks, Jesse.
I am seriously thinking of (finally) buying a Seecamp... probably in .32 caliber. The choice of caliber is based on my desire for a softer shooting pistol, even though I know I can handle the .380.
I once owned a NAA Gaurdian in .380, but sold it after a few months time. It wasn't the recoil or my sore hand that caused me to sell it. Unlike the Seecamp, the Gaurdian is not of high quality manufacture. The bullets constantly tumbled, producing keyhole wounds in paper targets. That would take a serious bite out of their ability to penetrate and would likely be less effective than a Seecamp in .32 caliber.
I also sold a much loved Sig Sauer P232 in .380 (the all steel version - weighed about 30 ounces IIRC. I loved the gun, even though it was too big for pocket carry and it was not all that pleasant to shoot after 20 rounds (even given its significant weight). The blow back design does little to nothing to reduce felt recoil. The reason I sold the Sig was... well... because I was stupid. I should have kept it just because it was such a nice, well made gun.
But before I purcahse a Seecamp in any caliber, I'd love to know your reasons for chosing the .380 over the .32. It often turns out that I know a lot less about guns than I think I know, and so I value the opinions of those few fellows on the forums whose reasoning and rationals I respect.
Best,
Larry
