Default NEW POCKET GUN

well, i picked up my new pocket a few weeks ago... a ruger lcp. not sure i like the small round, but i do like the size of the gun. I am a pretty slim guy the way it is, and that makes it hard to conceal even a small glock. add that to the fact that i am pretty active in the local fire dept, and it makes it real difficult to carry all the time, so i have ffell in love with this little guy. any cons to this gun?

Gotta practice with it and make sure you can get good hits. I sure as he'll don’t wanna get shot by one, but if rounds to the body don't stop your assailant, send a round to the head. "Failure drills" like that are standard practice on any carry gun, unless you can find 50 BMG in a CCW. Stay safe out there.

"Ya twist your ankle, get it all swollen up like that?" Where there's a will, there's a way, but my point is the.380 is more capable than some people give it credit, and even with a .45 you need to be ready to deliver follow-up shots. Dealing with some coked up junkie that .500 might not even be enough on the first round.

I have a BERETTA JETFIRE 25 & a FN 1910 32, but I would only used those two as back up to my CZ-75 9MM
