LCR's are great little guns but to small for my hands I carry a Kahr CW40 now and love it only a few oz's heavier and got 7 shots of 40 cal.

I think semi-autos are a lot easier to conceal

I agree on the Kahr arms. I was dead set on a super small 1911 untill I stumbled across the PW9 for like a third of the price and more the 50% lighter! and also thinner so im about dead set on one! Then throw in a Crossbread super Tuck Delux IWB holster and BINGO!

Thats what i carry along with 5 rounds in a speed loader. The only thing I dont like about a LCP is my finger doesnt fit the trigger. Just hard to get in the trigger guard fast.

Sup,

I really like my glock model 23 .40. It is very easy to conceal and holds like 13.

I've been seriously considering the ruger for my wife. She liked the bersa thunder 380 better when we were fingering them at cabelas. I think I will may overrule her.

My only problem with the LCP is that its too small for me to feel comfortable with. It feels like a toy in my hands.

Not to derail this thread, but the S&W J-frame feels like a gun, and is still small enough to conceal easily. I have a glock 19 and 26, the J is my primary conceal weapon of choice. I do occasionally wear an ankle holster with the 26 but I still have some printing.

Best words of advice I have received for conceal, accommodate the weapon by choosing the right clothing for your set up.

The Kahr is a single stack(means its really thin less than an inch at its widest) and I carry in my front pocket. No one can tell I have a 40 in there I carry it in a simple nemesis holster and its all good.

Yep, to me it does not fit my hand, the wife and kids do not like how it feels/fits them either.. & I just do not trust the 380....

My S&W 442 goes away in a Kramer pocket holster...you can't tell it's there, packs a more "powerful" punch than any mouse gun & does not have the problems semi auto pocket guns run into with functioning...

Normally the Sig 239 is my choice of concealment pistol, for "deep" concealment or when I don't want to tote the 1911 all day...but when the 239 is not up to the task the 442 works great.

Yep, no question about it...

Played with this at shot...and if I was in the market for a mouse gun for a pocket pistol....

This is what I would go with...much much better than the LCP.....

1. I don't like "loose" clothing, I don't wear stuff tight, but it fits good, a tad on the baggy side but not to much.

2. Sometimes you have no choice on what your wearing.
