My advice is don't do it. Never carry anything that you aren't willing to fight seriously with. Everyone I've ever talked to that got into a serious shooting with any of the little guns switched over to a full size and weight gun for carrying purposes.
Nobody wants to get into a gunfight. But, if you do, everybody wants to prevail. Much more likely to happen if you are seriously armed. E

Most of the time when I leave the house I have a Glock 27 or a Glock 30 with HST loads in a IWB holster.
However I also have the Keltec .380 with some grip tape on it that I will stuff in my pocket, especially when I'm wearing cargo pants, and the darn thing disappears.
Eremicus's advice above though does ring true. In my area there are spots where I would not go near without one of the Glocks but most areas are not like that at all and the Keltec is sufficient. Good for shooting dogs and a "get off me gun". I wouldn't try head shots at 35 yards with it but have been impressed by the 7-10 yard accuracy with it.

I carry the LCP, it is easy to carry and I can shoot it better than I would have ever guessed. I would love more firepower, but I wouldn't carry a bigger gun near as much. A carry gun won't help me if I don't carry it.

Pocket guns are fun to carry but if you ever need a gun you will wish you had a "better" gun.

I play around with the fads as they come thru ( 380 etc. ) and my advice is stay with the commander size or larger. You will never have to say ...wish I had my old so and so..45 is best.

many times you cannot carry a bigger gun and the 380 is "it" I shoot mine OK, I agree its not optimal but with the 90 grain speer gold dots its better than nothing.

My problem was I would just leave the 45 at home if I was wearing shorts and a teeshirt because it was heavy and harder to conceal. I picked up the Kahr p-380 this weekend. It's like carrying another wallet. My range is open until 8 tonight. looking forward to running atleast 100 rounds throught it.
Rather have the 380 in my pocket than a 45 at home in the safe.
Thanks for all the input.
