lot. We do sell all we get pretty quickly and it seems most buy them based on the recommendations of friends.

The only detriment is the sights. Ruger might have just as well left them off. I had trouble at the 7 - 10 yard range. I did better ignoring the sights rather than try to use them. Mine now sports a laser.

rides lightly in the pocket, particularly in the summer months. "Cover" garments for 1911s and such are hysterically obvious in south Alabama around August. The 32acp Kel-Tec version would balk if a fella didn't pay close attention while loading those semi-rimmed cartridges in the magazine. Personally, no issues with the 380acp LCP. I have a Fobus clip on kydex holster that works well also.

There was a recall on early LCPs for firing when dropped, but Ruger worked it out and stamped the frame to signify the rework.

I generally carry either the LCP or a scandium smith 357, one surefire, a leatherman and two knives every day. Though they are common on the internet, I've never spotted one of those internet gurus out in the wild carrying an M-14, two 1911s, six knives, three flashlights and 600rnds of ammo. However, I will admit there's lots more stuff in my truck...

The little LCP is very nice. However I have gotten the Kel-Tec P3T 380acp as I could not get a LCP. Haven't regretted it yet. It and the LCP is an "Always Gun" you always have it with you. I drop mine in my pocket when I get dressed the same as I do my Wallet and Keys. Just keep the dust bunnies out of the barrel, an occasional wipe with a clean oiled rag. Shoot it a bit now and again. It just keeps going very nice. I do sometimes forget it is on me, but it does belong on me. Also the current generation of laser sights are great and worthwhile. I don't think you would amiss to have an LCP for a carry piece. Of course I do have bigger and meaner stuff close by in my truck etc. I found common Winchester White Box flatnose FMJ 380's some of the best ammo as well. I have carried the Walther PPK and PP's as well along with various revolvers, the little current quality 380's fill the bill very nicely. Now of course I have been looking a the Kel-Tec's little PF9, (9MM) and it is talking nice to me for similar carry use. Hard to beat for the weight and price. I think you might really like one of your choice. My Walthers have earned their retirement are still fun to do some plinking with. I hope you select a nice one and enjoy it as I do mine.

I've had a Kel-Tec .32 since shortly after they came out, which is a few years. I never upgraded to the .380, it's a big heavy sucker. I figure at minute-of-earhole, the difference is negligible. When I go shooting, I usually remember to empty it. I can routinely bounce a coke can around at reasonable distances. It's never once had a malf. I clean it, reload it, and stick it back in my pocket with spare change, some knife, guitar picks, ans whatever else winds up in there. Once or twice, with my "hands in my pockets", it's been at the ready, and comforting indeed.

I went down to the local gun pusher and bought one. Their credit care swiper was on the blink and the banks are closed for the 4th of July. Paperwork is all done, tomorrow I will swing by the bank and take them the cash.

Like the rest of you guys, I have some much more serious stuff in the vehicle and home, this will go in the pocket where the PPK used to be.

I will probably pick up a pocket holster fairly soon. The PPK is is a Kramer which has been very good, but I WILL NOT pay $99.00 for a holster in which to carry a $300.00 pistol. So, I will go cheaper.

To me, these guns' usefulness is magnified greatly with the laser.

I wish the sights were better, that's where the Kel-Tec has a tiny advantage, the LCP has a "ramp" front, while the Kel-Tec has sort of a micro patridge where at least you can get some paint on it. I owned both briefly and liked/kept the Ruger.

Everybody except you & me has one already and with your winning ways, you should easily find one to test drive. The reason I suggest this is because the LCP has a pointlessly-long trigger pull and it's all but devoid of sights. If you can hit a coffee can at 25 steps with your little Walther (or a J frame) shooting single action, you may not be impressed with the LCP. I'm not saying it can't be done with an LCP; it's just a hell of a lot more work than it needs to be.

Half my boys had LCP's at one time, but they don't anymore. The 15 & 25 yard stages were straining them at qualifications... but I'm one of those old cranky-asses who still scores targets, instead of just yelling 'PASS!'.

have a far superior trigger. We have 4 or of the Ruger LCPs and an LC9 in the house, but the S&W trigger is better than all of em out of the box. I have heard that Ruger is making some changes in the LOOOOONG trigger and will be offer retro fits, but all just unconfirmed rumor as of now.

I have been carrying a LCP since they came out , I use the Milt Sparks pocket holster. you still have to clean it every week of all the lint and stuff that gets into your pocket. I love this little gun , I have carryed my Walter ppk and ppks in the pocket before I got the LCP . its the min amount of protection, just above A good knife I feel, the reason I carry the LCP is that It has never failed to shoot with anything that I ran though it .
