Most .380s are small guns. They usually are a little snappy. Mostly remember not to put your thumb behind the slide.
Have you had any safety training yet? __________________

What Rick said ^. Some are worse than others though. I've shot a S&W BG380 & a Kahr P380, both were easy to shoot - even one-handed.
What make/model is it? | |

Don't worry my 10 year old grandson shoots my 45 acp and 45 colt. You'll be ok with the recoil. | Likes Given: 3

The recoil shouldn't be bad at all, unless it's a really small 'mouse gun' of some sort. Just to be completely safe, you might just load one round in the mag, chamber it & shoot it, to see just how it is. That way, if you are surprised with more recoil than expected, there is not a second round in the pistol that you accidently discharge by reflex. Some pistols, if decocked, are double action on the first round & single action on the second. That second round can go off really easy! | Liked 3 Times on 3 Posts
