keltec’s interest here is that the mechanisms can be slightly smaller, and reloading typically doesn’t happen in self-defense shootings. if you need more than ~5 shots you don’t need a hand gun you need comrades.
Makes sense for the people who like that kind of thing I guess, but I don’t want my gun to be small. Only thing a small gun is better at than a big gun is hurting your hands.
Concealability for sure, smaller guns allow “Deep Carry” which makes them almost completely undetectable in contrast to larger guns that print easily and require restricting your choice of clothing.

yeah size and weight are carrying optimizations.
with my situation i think if a handgun is going to be beneficial i’m not so worried about it printing
Printing, you mean like showing under clothes or wearing a worn spot on pants?
yeah
Concealability and portability, no?
Especially with it being a .380

Tbh I think it was a way to skip the difficult process of designing a working detachable magazine
