whats a better BUG? j frame or kel-tec p3at 380

I vote J-frame, but how about a 638 (shrouded hammer)? Best of both SA/DA worlds. Add a Crimson Trace LG-405 grip and it's even better.

The best compromise is to have both.

Ditto....with Crimson Trace laser grips on both. See signature...

The J frame s the quintessential pocket gun. If you get the hammerless it will fire from a pocket...something you cant say for your auto. Plus the .38 +p is a fine defensive load. You got it and can afford it get a j frame. I like the 642, it is a very nice gun and really loved on here.

+1 on the 642. I carry it as my EDC in a Mika pocket holster when I need to tuck my shirt. Great gun and with practice you can get quite accurate with it at short distances.

I've got both. Keep the Kel-Tec and get a j-frame or lots of .380 ammo and get good with the Kel-Tec. I really like my 642, but there are times that the P3AT gets the call.

Keltec is a good gun for it's intended purpose, an easy to conceal, lightweight , close range self defense gun. It is easier to conceal than the J frame. I like both and use them each on different occasions. So get yourself a J frame to round out your options. I like the 642.

Oh what an easy question, do you prefer something sexy like this:

or some ugly bottom feeder?

That certainly brings back memories. I was a big fan of Lee Jurras and his SuperVel ammuntion. In the 1970's I carried a S&W Model 10 on duty along with a Model 36 bug. Both were stoked with .38cal. SuperVel ammo.
To the OP
Sorry for the thread hijack. I usually pocket carry a J-frame in a pocket holster. but sometimes prefer an NAA .32 Guardian. In Docker style pleated trousers it's usually the J Frame. In Jeans, I sometimes opt for the slimmer semi auto.
