A good pair of running shoes and a fast exit will save more lives. If you're old with bad knees a fast exit is out...stand your ground and defend yourself with an adequate caliber.

I carry a .380 pretty regular, either a Kel-Tec P3aT in my pocket or a G42 in my waistband, so yeah, I'd trust my life to one.

So who owns a Ruger LCP 380? Geez for just over 200 bucks, why not. I have one of the generation made just before they switched to the LCP II, which was their best IMO. Better than the II, which is really an entirely new design, and noticeably bigger. Now, the LCP is no fun to shoot, that's for sure, but it's about the best deep concealment self-defense gun out there. The Glock 42 is a MUCH better shooter, but not nearly as good at a .380's intended purpose, which is pocket carry. If you are going to get a Glock 42, might as well get the 43 instead, unless one is very recoil sensitive.

Wife has an LCP II for when she's going purse less.
I have a Colt Pony Pocketlite for times when bigger won't work.

Simple answer
There are no beaches close to me.I don't go to public swimming pools. I live at 7600 ft elevation. High mountain / streams were just snow 30 minutes ago.
There are some amazing new creations in the world. One is known as the "airplane" the other is commonly referred to as an "interstate." Dave

As always nobody reads the fugkin' question. He specifically omitted size of the gun and narrowed the question to the cartridge. Would you trust your life with the .380?
I would and do. On occasion...
I am glad so many people leave the house only dressed in Wranglers, a button up shirt and a fugkin' cowboy hat, but I'm one of those people that does normal schit. i.e. go float the river with your kids in swim trunks and a tank top. Or maybe flip-flop my happy ass into the grocery store on Sunday morning wearing nothing but sweatpants and a hangover.
That's what I wear into the store when we stop for beer and ice and pop on the way to the river. Guess what I have on me? It's not a fugkin' Sig 226 I can tell you that.
Guess what I keep in my pocket or waistband while I float? It's not a fugkin' G17L, I can tell you that.
But if you're the kind of guy that spends his whole life wearing 5.11 pants with a riggers belt, a suitable cover shirt, a Surefire flashlight, an iPhone, a wallet, and a spare mag, you're probably not real relatable to Joe Family Guy that does a variety of schit with his kids and wife and girlfriend.
Clark That sums me up to a tee. I always wonder who these folks are that are always packing that heavy sheit, cuzz it sure ain't me. Hell, I'm in Crocs and a swim trunks for a good majority of the summer.

A holster on my suspenders is where my Colt .380 rides sometimes. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/holster-2.jpg)

What a colossal waste of time. Carry, hide/open. Who will really need a gun for defense anyhow. I learned a long time ago, it is a damn poor set of feet that will stand around and let your face get beat in!
A good pair of running shoes and a fast exit will save more lives. And if you are too old or otherwise able to run? I won't get my azz beat, I WILL shoot you if you attack me! Plus it will probably be with a .32 H&R or a .380.

whats kind of interesting is that confrontation up in the white mountains a few days ago here in arizona. a guy got dead, the weapon used, a .22lf revolver.
We use to float the salt river pretty regularly. After an experience getting off the river to the buses to take you back to the start, I ran into a group of rather drunk and rowdy members of a minority group.
I said if i ever did that river float again, i would have a small pistol in a plastic baggy hid on my shorts somewhere.

Who has actually had to shoot someone? Did what you have work?
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Not going to be some juiced up crackhead or meth head's victim. Plain and simple.. You come to phugck with me, I'll shoot ya.
