That's exactly the case: It's gas delayed.Quote:

Sig 238, is a nice gun but too large for the way I want to carry it. No a problem as this is what makes the world go round.Quote:

One of my Officers picked up the Micro this past Tuesday, when compared to my Secamp 380 its a pig, but it did eat every type of 380 we threw at it.
Now that Secamp has a 2 year wait again on the 380, this mite be a viable tool in its place
Love my Micro Desert Eagle, with Speer GOLD * Dot, it's the ticket.
Interesting observation.Quote:

Micro DE: length=4.52"; height=3.71"; thickness=0.90"; loaded weight=18oz
What interests me is that, in a truly tiny pistol, small increments make huge differences in subjective "feel."
For instance, my wife's Kel-Tec .380 is quite a bit larger than either the Seecamp or the Micro, but it weighs so much less (only 11oz, loaded) that it subjectively seems to be about the same size as those smaller guns!
