The 'bottom one' is actually a KelTec P32, just a touch smaller and lighter than the P3AT. For some reason the fact that it comes with a pocket clip like it's a ball point pen or something has always amused me. ![Icon Tongue](https://www.scionlife.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_tongue.gif)
A .32 is definitely a small caliber, but at personal defense range with decent JHP ammo, it is enough to ruin someone's day...

I have a Glock because it's light, fits right in my hand, shoots great and I don't have to worry about dropping it in the mud, water, on rocks, etc. It's purpose is for protection out in the field, not to look pretty

Accessories that I have purchased from KelTec include the 15 round magazine extension (for S&W mags), several extra magazines, a couple grip extensions, the metal recoil spring rod, and the Tritium night sights. Overall very happy with the little guy.

(So far, even on my S&Ws, I've smoothed and polished feed ramps, and gently massaged the triggers on all of 'em to bring 'em up to the way I like em. The little Kel-Tec took some contouring and polishing of the ramp, but once done, it works reliably and I like it.)

EDIT:
Here's the Saiga 12, semi-auto, that we can all get for about $550, with an aftermarket 20-rnd clip in action:

And here's a converted full auto version for law enforcement. It obviously will cost substantially more:

Geez man... not having to pump. This thing is like Viagra for home defense.

ive got a ruger 10/22 for plinking, 20ga mossberg under the bed. wife carries a s&w 38 snub-nose. i was about to get the walther pps 40 cal, but at the last second decided on the m&p40 compact for daily carry (cabelas had a sweet sale on it, and it fit my hand better). got an 8mm turkish mauser in the closet, but its hard to find decent ammo for that one. whats funny is, besides the mauser being handed down, ive purchased all of our guns within the last year, lol.
it seems like every store i got to for ammo recently is absolutely cleaned OUT for handgun ammo, i dont remember it being like that 6 months ago. is this happening everywhere else? im assuming it is.

Most of the online retailers are completely out of ammo. In addition, all of the Wal-Marts are completely out... I usually buy 250pks of 9mm for under $50, but certainly not anymore.
At the gun show this weekend - firearm prices were generally a little up, but not crazy. There were only 3-4 "big ugly scary plastic" liberal-scarers left, and of course, those came with a big markup. All of the older guns got a price jump too. Used to be able to get AK's for 400, now the minimum I saw was 800.
BTW - I spoke with my FFL - He said there's a backorder/waiting list for Bushmaster AR-15's -- 140,000 names long!
As we've said - Obama's been the biggest boost to the gun industry in a very, very long time.

About 10 years ago, a local gun shop was running a special, brand new Russian Makarovs, 9X18, with 2 clips, holster and cleaning kit for 119.00. Couldnt resist, enjoy it very much, and recently upgraded the ammo to hollow points. While working down south this past spring, I bought a Golani Sporter 223 from a pawn shop. This is the Isreali Galil clone, with 2 ea. 35 round clips. My daughter and I recently spent the morning at a local outdoor range, this is my first experience with this sort of firearm, and it was totally awesome. Very smooth, very little recoil, very enjoyable. She loves to shoot, and did pretty well with the rifle.

Recently, and I do mean like the last 2 or so weeks, I've just been rediscovering how much I love the 22lr round. With everything so high in price these days, it's still dirt cheap to go to the range and spend an afternoon with a few nice rifles.
