I want to get a carry gun. I've narrowed it down to
Colt Mustang pocketlite(.380)
or
S&W 686+ with 3inch barrel(.357mag)
I find good reviews on both, both hold same amount of rounds, both are gorgeous and at least have a capable caliber of cartridge.
The only gun I own is a S&W Model 19-3 with a 4 inch barrel and don't really know what holding a small gun is like. They have Mustangs at my local gun range but I have yet to find a 686.
(secretly I think i'll get both and carry the mustang in my nice clothes and the 686 in my jeans/work clothes)
What do y'all think?

Apples and oranges, lad. And besides, why won't you just carry the 19-3?
>>28308544
I've been tempted to. The 4 inch barrel makes it a bit hard to carry in a waistband. Not to mention its a bit heavy(although I don't mind). I'm sure a good leather holster would help. I think I just want something a bit more portable.
>686
>Small
Yeah nah, L frames aren't too small. Go with a J frame if you want a carry gun or at most a 3" k frame.
Also
>.357 mag
>3 inch barrel
U wot m8? Have fun with harsh recoil and massive muzzle flash. Just stick to .38s or .38 +ps.

You know, 686 won't be any lighter and one inch doesn't make that much of a difference.
There's no reason to buy a new gun that's already so similar to the one you own. Get the Mustang then if you're so hell bent on it, although I would recommend a Glock 19 sized compact in 9mm.
>>28308529
If you buy some smaller grips for the 19, you should be fine. I've got a set that was mark for a J-frame on mine, and it made carrying it a lot easier.

Can someone post the "Home Defense on a Budget" infographic?

The fuck is wrong with you? Don't get a colt pocket gun, you'll have it fail on you and you'll die.

Not just the 70s. There was a great Raymond Chandler story that featured a guy with that rig. (Well, not that exact rig. It was the 20s, those guns hadn't been invented yet.).

>not recommending Glock M&P or any of sig's decent guns like the 320 when they're only like 50 dollars more than the cheap shit you posted
>putting gimmick handguns like the Century pistol AK as legitimate home defense options
