All 5 of the Kel-Tecs I have or family now have worked first time all the time right out of the box, no break in and no problems. That would be 2 P32's, 1 P3AT and 2 P11's.

1. I have 2 LCRs. Both have been reliable from the start. NO PROBLEMS...
2. Shot 2 or 3 hundred rounds of PMC & a few Hornady Critical Defense through each, NO PROBLEMS...
3. Breakfree
4. Doesn't get sticky/tight like my revolvers after 50 or 100 rounds
Sorry,#1. meant LCPs

And also noting that the .380 round is about totally worthless unless you place one or three in a perp's ear..  I agree 100%..If you knew you were going be in a gun fight that day do you really think you would slide a little .380 in your front pocket and go out the door? and isn't that the reason we carry concealed weapons because that day might come? If it ever happens to me you can bet your azz I won't be packin no weak kneed .380.......Hb

Anybody mention the LC9 yet? Had one for about two months before a friend talked me out of it. True pocket. Adequate sights, can be laser fitted. Minute of soda can at 15yds or so.
Gonna get another one and keep it.

Gonna get another one and keep it. It also has a magazine disconnect which is unacceptable to Me in a self defense pistol, if not for that though I could live with one of these, they are a nice size for the pocket but so is a .357 Mag LCR............Hb

My top criteria: reliability, concealability and weight.
What say you?
I've only owned one: a Sig P238. I like it well enough. It feeds with 100% reliability and is accurate. It is, however, on the heavy side for a true pocket pistol. If it were any bigger/heavier I would think it would no longer qualify as such. I chose the P238 for the simple reason that if I ever found myself in a gun fight, I'd like to be using a gun that I liked shooting. The Sig feels good in my hand and is a pleasure to shoot.

You'd be surprised how many times people have used little .22rfs successfully in a self-defense situation.. Anything is better than nothing.. So, curious here, during a nice, hot summer day and you're wearin' a pair of shorts, flip-flops and a muscle-T, just where and how do you hide that Desert Eagle .50??

The people that put down the 380 have never shot anyone with
one (or anything else). People that have get results One Shot
stopping data) that place it with a 38 special yet no one
mocks that choice. somting to think about.

I like to carry My Old 2" dull blade Boyscout knife from when I was a kid cause just like you say anything is better than nothing, I figure a dull 2" knife blade will do as much or more damage than a useless .380  .............Hb
