kt, let me assure you that the LCP is not a toy. I speak from 30 yrs. as a LEO and 18 of them spent as a firearms instructor. Now I have been retired for 23 yrs., but keep current with handguns. The LCP is designed as an in your face pistol, by that I mean 7 yds at the max. There are a number of times slipping one of these in your pocket vs an ibh for a larger handgun is useful. I have 3 CC handguns listed in the order I prefer them, old Colt LW Commander 45 acp, Para PDA 9mm, and a LCP. I shoot all of them regularly as should anyone who wants a handgun for personal defense. My son is a LEO and also has a Para Carry 9 and a LCP, he has 23 yrs. as an LEO, so is very experenced. All and all I am very comfortable with the LCP for some situations.

if a .380 is all you can carry, then you should probably reassess your thoughts.
I am NOT going to depend on something inadequate to save my life. Lots of folks carry a mouse gun because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy. Not me. That folks pay a premium for brand name mouse guns is even more telling......

We should all carry A) what we can really carry and B) what we are comfortable with and C) what we are proficient with. Some of us can use a small gun with quickness and precision.
Just think on this; Hickock carried two 36 Navy revolvers, loaded with round ball. A modern 380 is aprox., the same caliber and has more energy. It is truly a question of how well you can use the gun you carry, not the cartridge in the chamber. Ed
