My wife and alleged children gifted this to me yesterday along with 100 rounds of Winchester white box.

Ran to the range and shot six from the 3, 7, and 15.

pocket friendly?

I've about shot all my 25ACP ammo, including my reloads, and I may end up retiring the heater...

Very pocket friendly. I may throw a clip on it, or not. Not sure. Came with a pocket holster too.

If I bump into one of those Beretta's in a .25 I'm going to grab it. My buddy has one and that is one accurate sumbitch.

Congrats. Nice gift. I like mine too, even if it's no fun to shoot more than a few mag fulls. Bangs my hand up.

Yeah a box of 50 will change a guy's perception on the .380... grin.

I guess these original LCP's are getting harder to keep on the shelf. They paid $199 out the door and supposedly that's the reason they are hard to find.

I have a little ruger LC=9 commemorative for the city of prescott. I bought it basically for the bucking bronc on it, prescott city seal, statgecoach etc, and prescott is home town. Was at an event sat night, cookout in the desert, and wore it. I have lost enough weight i could use a belt on a pair of shorts/t shirt, and id worked fine, nobody knew i had it. Using a right handed don Hume iwb holster, stuck on my left side so butt was facing forward. Holster not really appropriate for a left hand guy. It is dinky and easy to conceal. but pretty easy to pack. Also fits in one of those cargo knee pockets pretty easy too.
definitely a place for those things.
as to the 380, i have more than one semiauto that holds 12rounds of .380, and they are pretty easy to hide too.
as in the savage 1907 among others. And all the 380 is is the 9mmkurtz, or 9mm short.

bought one of the little beretta popup barrel in .22lr a few years ago. We call it the "bra" gun, as it was bought for my wife at the time doing a lot of hiking in a tshirt and shorts in the phoenix desert. Which continues to have issues, the desert that is. Hard to conceal a weapon, but that little sucker fits in the center of a bra just fine. The idea was if needed to empty the darn thing into the face of an assailent, throw it at them, and run like hell. Probably ain't gonna catch you leaking all that blood.
I was at cabella's yesterday, they had a colt pocket 1908 in .25acp for sale. at about 700bucks. another little "stuff it in their nose" type of firearm. I have one a former state legislator in montana carried for years.

I wouldn't want to catch a .25 caliber bullet with my neck. Grin.

You can’t really appreciate the capabilities of the LCP until you compare it to small pistols like this .22 caliber Beretta and Baby Browning .25 … they both weigh as much or more than the LCP.

They sold boatloads of them at the old 330.00 price and now they have dropped them to 199 and are selling them by the boatload again.... They really are decent little pocket guns, and the 380 is nothing to sneeze at.

I bought one of these a couple of months ago and my experience mirrors yours. I find that I have it in my pocket all the time. It shoots pretty nicely for what it is. Mine weighs 12.5 ounces in the pocket holster with 7 rounds on board.

I am starting to love this thing.

Some 7yd. Dot Torture. This was all two-handed shooting.

3yd. Two handed, strong, then weak.

This POS Blackhawk holster is great. I've been wearing it all week. Did a two mile run with it Thursday. Inside the chonies, behind center-line. No movement.

I carried one in my pocket as a BUG for nearly 15 years. It was always reliable and surprisingly accurate for such a small pistol. Only thing I didn't like about it was the small sights.

I finally traded mine for a Glock 42 last year. But I wouldn't hesitate to carry the LCP if that was the only pocket gun I had. There is a new version of the LCP 380 out now with bigger sights, and a front night sight. I'll probably buy one of those when I find one for a good price.

Here's the one with better trigger and front night sight. It's called the Custom Model

Did you mean like 8 years maybe? The LCP wasn't introduced till 2008.

In the spirit of preventing you from being disappointed before you buy one, the wider aluminum trigger may give the perception of being a "better" trigger pull but the trigger pull is the same for all models.

The front sight has luminescent paint on it not tritium, so you have to expose it to a strong light before it glows in the dark. It's not a "night sight" in truest sense.
