Are there reliable handguns available on the used market?

Which small-caliber handguns are recommended for concealed carry?

For smaller calibers, the Beretta Tomcat in .32 ACP and the Springfield Armory Hellcat 380 are recommended. The Tomcat offers a soft-shooting experience, while the Hellcat 380 is noted for being fast, smooth, and lighter than its 9mm counterpart.

What is the importance of a break-in period for new firearms?

New firearms often require a break-in period, typically 150-300 rounds, for parts to mesh and wear in properly. This process ensures optimal reliability and performance, as observed with the Kahr CT380.
