I bought a Grendel P-12 .380 about 10 years ago that I plan to carry. I figure for what I paid vs what it's worth today who cares if it gets scuffed up? I've read mixed reviews about the since discontinued Grendel make, but I've had really good luck with this gun over the years. Never have had any failures of any kind... KNOCK WOOD! Small, cheap, light, easy to field strip, and 10 + 1 capacity. Fun gun to shoot, but you can imagine that because of it light weight, and short barrel, (3 inches) there is noticeable muzzle flip. Good for close range of up to 15 yards, but after that not that great. The Grendel line was really the first generation Kel-Tec line. Polymer frame with a forged steel slide and barrel. If you can find one used, buy it.
Fight the urge to shoot LIBERALS. They are human too right?!?!
