Default Re: I Need A Little Help With A Handgun I'm Looking At.

380 is not a round I'd carry ever. These days, you can get something in 9mm in almost the same package as a small 380. I'd really look into 9mm, 40 or bigger and faster Scott

Scott,
I have an LCP with a Crimson Trace.
Great concealed carry weapon.
I use the finger extender made by Ruger.
Will soon be getting their new extended magazine with extra round.
Only negative is this is a powerhouse when it fires due to size and body material.
Not a gun for distance accuracy but not what I need it for anyway. This is a close combat handgun the size of a suppository.
I alternate it with my S&W Shield, depending on clothing/need.

This.

To me this is a "last stand" option, not what I would bring if I was anticipating trouble (but then if I was anticipating trouble I could probably avoid it )

Of course, if concealed carry fire power is what you're after and you have a stff belt and a pair of industrial suspenders there's always this beauty

That gun weighs more than I do.
If it wasn't as equally heavy, would lug my Glock 21 around. For kicks, tried to waist ad carry it for a brief moment. My pants sagged to the point of falling off on side of gun.

BTW, although double the price and then some of LCP, I prefer my wife's Sig P238 HD.
What an awesome little gun that is heavy enough to totally eliminate the kick I hate so much on LCP. Has night sights included. Very accurate.

Off Topic.
Do they make a extended magazine for the LC9?

The LCP did seem to have some more kick than I thought too.
