Instead of answering your question directly, I'll say that the most fun thing right now is this little Taurus M380 mini revolver in 380 auto.  It's a hoot to shoot.  I can see myself wearing this thing out.  I've even carried it a few times since learning the velocity drop off vs. a 2.5" 380 autoloader isn't significant.

That looks to be smaller than a j frame, is it significantly smaller?  Interesting.  That's what's great about guns, there's usually something new to try out.

Ljutic.  Good looking revolver, the M380.  Thanks for posting.

It's very difficult for me to really capture side by side size comparisons.  Not sure if it's caused by camera perspective or I just suck as a photographer.  It's almost 3/4" shorter than your typical J Frame.  Weighs the same as the polymer .38s.  Cylinder as also smaller in circumference than the .38's so it's slightly thinner.

If you were looking at these two in person, you would see a significant difference between the two that might not convey well in the picture.

Nice looking little 380, the polymer frame revolvers are something I just don't have much interest in.

It would be really nice in 9mm and the dimensions should be nearly the same.
