380 pocket pistol recommendations - Page 3

Screwball · March 18, 2023, 03:06 PM

I’ve had the original LCP since the recall… been an awesome pocket gun. Very minimal, but better refined than the P3AT. I added a Hogue grip sleeve, CT laser and Magguts conversions in all my magazines.

I actually just ordered the LCP MAX today. Main reason, better sights in a similar size. I likely won’t retire the LCP completely, but I could see myself carrying the LCP MAX more.

My best friend has a Kahr P380… which he shot a lot. I actually had to rebuild the gun so he could continue to qualify/carry it. I don’t know the round count, but was never a fan of Kahr.

I do have a little background with Walther PPs… but I recommend those in .32 more than .380. Just a more comfortable round to shoot in those guns.

I have many .380 guns. Currently find myself grabbing my LCP Max with the 10 round mag most of the time.

However, if I could find a “user” (not pristine like this one) FEG SMC, I would throw that in my pocket. I find it easier to shoot than my various Walther PPK and PPK/S guns and much lighter with the alloy frame.

I carry a Ruger LCP in 6+1 that has been very dependable. It's a bit smaller than my wife's Kimber Micro .380 and I can shoot it better. It has a heavy trigger with no safety which I view as a plus. I recently purchased a LCP Max which I'm currently vetting as a possible replacement...but I really like the LCP.

My little LCP fits in my pocket and I usually forget it’s even there. Ruger sells it with a comfy little pocket holster. At the range at 7 yards, it does what I need it to do every time. A bad guy would not be comfortable after meeting my diminutive LCP .380.

Ruger LCP is a handfull to shoot, but the easiest .380 to conceal out there.
