What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Bondhus CL380 Edition

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Has it been a month since the SHOT Show? Seems like just yesterday I was comparing sexual aids to firearms innovations [link NSFW]. Although that post didn’t include the Bondhus Arms CL380, I can think of several parallels between the credit card-sized .380 not-a-derringer weapon and a few discreet devices at the AVN Convention. When it comes to the Bondhus ballistic solution, you still can’t buy a thrill. The company website is promising June 2014 delivery for a mere $795. If DoubleTap’s extended roll-out is any guide, maybe later. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

  1. Thank you for this article. You are celebrating freedom of choice. The 9mm vs .380 cartridge is about the shooter’s ability to handle recoil. CCP needs a barrel factor (length of rifling divided by calibre (this is also how artillery and naval guns are measured)) of [6.40]or larger for the defensive cartridge to develop sufficient stopping power. The barrel factors for Glock 42 striker fired [7.17], Kahr striker fired PM9 [6.52] and Sig P938 S/A [6.24]; each are quality handguns of different action configurations, but the PM 9 seems $250 over priced. However the micro Taurus TCP striker fired [6.00]; has a more complex parts schematic, has documented feed ramp, magazine and quality control issues. Sure a good gunsmith can smooth and tweak a Taurus TCP’s action and install popper high visibility sights for $200-300 additional to the purchase price. The simple rule of thumb is if you’re a Glock person – buy the Glock 42 / a Sig person – buy the Sig P938 / a Kahr guy – buy the PM9. However, if the choice is Taurus TCP or nothing; then you may not NEED a CCP. Whatever the model of CCP you own, you must clean and train with it every week, whilst wearing you concealed carry rig and street clothes. Thanks, Greg

  2. Not only a lot of angry comments, but a lot of armchair lawyers, back-seat district attorneys, and ignorant gun smiths getting everything consistently wrong. From what the 4th Amendment says and means, to what the SAFE act specifically says, and even proper police procedure.

    The judge was absolutely correct and all you hear from the Left is pissing and moaning.

    To include all of the usual “all gun owners = gun nuts = criminals” drivel.
