For semi auto I have BERETTA JETFIRE 25 ACP that I can carry in my SPEEDO as for a REVOLVER I have two SMITH & WESSON 657 41 MAGNUM with 3 inch barrel, but the cylinder is the size of an apple.

Yep, the 38spl is heads and shoulders above the 22, 25, 32, 380 cap pistol rounds...:tu::tu::tu:

RSWORDS 06-26-2011 08:11 AM

A revolver prints to much in my back pocket. Too thick. My SW bodyguard looks like a wallet. I have places I go and things I do that paying attention to printing is out of the question, way to busy with other things that need 100% of my attention. Can't worry about, "oh I cant bend that way"... It just can't happen. I agree the 38 is a better round, of comes down to being able to carry or not, 380 is better then my fists any day.

Plus its a whole lot easier to carry spare rounds.

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. :yeah:

I think semi-autos are a lot easier to conceal:tu:

cummins freak 06-26-2011 10:05 AM

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.

smokeeaterlb7 06-26-2011 10:47 PM

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.

backwoodsW250 06-26-2011 11:25 PM

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...

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

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.

Unless you wear some kind of uniform that's air brushed on you always have a choice....you might not want to admit it...or might want to wear tighter clothes for whatever reason...but you can all but always wear looser fitting clothes if you so desire..

It all boils down to what decisions the gun owner makes....what we perceive the threat as... we make our choices and then have to live with our decisions....good thing in 99.9% of all CCP holders will never need to find out if our decision/choices is a good one or a bad one....

At this point you really can't beat an lcp380 or keltec p3at for summer carry. I carry my p3at every day with basketball shorts and a tank top in the summer. Use an in the waistband holster and you can't even tell it's there. IMO the best CCW out there. Plus throw some good 95g hollowpoints in there and you'll do enough damage. Better than having a 25... Or having nothing

backwoodsW250 06-27-2011 10:54 AM

I believe at times having a rock is better than a 25! :s:

Ramprat 06-27-2011 11:16 AM

Having a 380 is like going with Banks performance when you build your truck....cuz it's :good enough"

RSWORDS 06-27-2011 12:29 PM

I know mine is a good decision. Because its a small auto in a wallet style holster or my hands. It's not my everyday carry, its my can't take the big gun with me carry gun. And no you can't always wear loose fitting clothes. I can conceal my glock in almost everything I wear, almost. At time (and this is mostly when I carry the BG380) I have to put my body in kinda arkward positions, bent over, twisted around, upside down, ect.can't and I risk printing or my shirt coming up exposing my weapon. I've tried the Smart carry holsters, don't like them and wont wear them. I have to be focused at the task on hand 110% so I cant worry about "oh I cant bend that way" or "Whoops, better tuck my shirt back in" its just plain not possible. That is why I have a well rounded selection, different guns for different things. One does not fit all my needs. Would I love to have a .40 or .45 as easy to concel deep cover as the little .380 pocket guns. Danmm straight I would, untill it happens the .380 is the best choice for me.

Like I said, I wear my 380 in the summer. In fall And winter it's all about the taurus pt740 40 cal. It's 1" thick and 6" long. Still tiny and a 40. Pics!!!

And the Taurus. Now that's a small .40

RSWORDS 06-27-2011 03:53 PM

This is pretty much my summer wardrobe. Same fit and alot of times I lose the shirt while outside if appropriate.

http://www.gap.com/products/res/thum...hino-cedar.jpg

I would like to know where I should be carrying my full size weapon that is still 100% concealed. I'm serious, point me to a holster and I'll buy it and try it.

smokeeaterlb7 06-27-2011 04:36 PM

I never said anyone was right or wrong when it came to the weapon they carry. I simply said I think the LCP or the kel-tec of the same variety feels like a toy in my hands. It's a personal preference that I do not like them. Different strokes for different folks

gunman41mag 06-27-2011 04:57 PM

I have a Colt officers 45 or if I want more rounds, I have a Para Ordnance P-12

The LCP's feel odd in my hand, my Bodyguard is better, Its still tiny though and a tad odd.

They're not made for comfort. It's a small gun, there's no way around that. Theyre made for concealed carry and that's about it haha

I am gonna disagree with you, they may be a small gun and made for concealed, but if you aren't comfortable holding it in your hands, you will never be comfortable shooting it. In order to be accurate and deadly in the right situations, you need to be comfy with your gun in hand and your shooting posture. If not it could very well be your life instead of the low life criminals. I would rather adjust my clothing for a slightly larger gun that set le gun I do not feel comfortable with

RSWORDS 06-29-2011 05:28 AM

I agree. And while shot placement is very important with any defensive handgun its even more so with the small 380 round. I feel comfort and fit are a big part of how well you shoot.

I have put many many rounds through my 380 in order to become "comfortable" with it. At this point I am very accurate with it and wouldnt be too worried about missing my target. There's a few different definitions of comfort here... What's going to be more comfortable in the hand, a keltec p3at or a full size kimber...?

Ramprat 06-29-2011 03:13 PM

I'll do more damage with a Spyderco Civilian than any 4 380's up close and personal...
