I see the Rugers are getting more expensive. The Sig Sauer 380 that looks like a Colt Mustang are more expensive but I wouldnt mind having one.

At the Davenport Iowa gunshow today Keltecs were between $225 to $260 new for the 380's and 9's. They work well and how much resale could you lose?

before you drop coins, you owe it to yourself to check out and shoot if possible a Walther PK 380. Not as tiny as an LCP but a great shooter.

If it does not drop into a shirt pocket, I would go for a 9mm or a 40 like my Kahr CW40, now on my hip as I type.

I carry the LCP with CT laser in a DeSantis Nemisis pocket holster.

I think maybe a look at the Diamondback ia worthwhile.I just got a DB9 and 150 rounds down the tube.it's smokin'... Big +1. I had the Keltec 380 and when I felt a Diamondback 380 the Keltec got sold off. I love the DB, looks like a Glock got shrunk down. the gun shoots great and actually has a pretty good set of sights on it as well which makes hitting something at 25yds faily easy to do.

I and 3 brothers have the Ruger Lcp, I carry mine a lot in my shirt pocket. It also fits perfectly in a cell phone holster.
I and brothers have never had an issue with our pistols and all we shoot is reloads with a max load of power pistol and 95ghp=1040 fps.

As long as it does not say Sigma on it the Smith should be fine too.

I have read of to many failure to fire and failure to extract with those Diamondbacks to bet my life on one. If they get the bugs worked out, maybe.

I have a Ruger LCP that is a great little gun. I have friends with the Kel-tech and they like theirs. Both are good guns.

I have a P3AT,Kahr 380 and a P238,Well I should say my wife has the Kahr,She shot it once and that was that. All three do what they were intended to do all are reliable and accurate if you do your part.Between the P3AT and the LCP I prefer The Keltec for one reason only the trigger on the Lcp breaks to far back for my for my liking.Either would make an excellent pocket gun.I carry these as a back up or when I cant pull off something larger.
