I had an LCP for awhile and just recently traded it towards a Glock 27. I am on the never ending quest for a do-everything pistol. I want something thats concealable, a good back up for bowhunting, cheap ammo, and plenty of power. So far the Glock 27 is the best of those things together IMO.

I did love the size and weight of the LCP, throw it in a pocket holster and it feels just like another wallet in your back pocket. Do you have your CHL?

Pocket carry a Kel Tec P3AT but for belt CC, a Glock 26 or 17 in 9MM and a Kel tec sub2000 in 9MM for the truck. Both take the same magazines and ammo and the sub2000 folds up so it can go in a brief case or under your seat.

It also comes in 40 caliber and takes the same mag as the Glock 22.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Those carbines are cool but I'm not a kel tec fan. Beretta makes one that looks pretty nice, the PX4 I believe its called.

For a pocket pistol and cc I carry a Ruger LCP most of the time, but when I want something with more power I carry my Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry 45.

I sold all my $500-$800 380's and kept the Bersa Thunder Plus 16 rounder.

I use Powerball, Glaser (for snakes and dogs), Buffalo Bore 100gr, and regular cheap stuff. When CCI comes out with a snake shot, it will be the perfect gun. Until then, I shoot them with glaser because the Bersa is that darn accurate.

All other 380's with the exception of the beretta pale in comparison.

Everybody has their own opinion but the capacity is what pushed me over the edge.

Everyday carry is a S&W 13-3 (FBI issue) bull barrel stuffed with glasers or 158gr JHP (I'm old & set in my ways). Kinda bulky, but the .357 pretty well answers the question as to stopping power. For those times when the revolver is just impractical, I carry a NAA mini revolver stuffed with Aguila hyper-velocity hollow points. Through the short barrel, ballistically superior to .22WMR, and when fired through the "nasal decongestant from hell," the noise alone is intimidating. Like SCone said, the best gun is the one you have with you, and the NAA is unnoticeable, even in a pair of beach shorts.

that gets my vote, might even go pick one up this week if I can find anyone that has them in stock. No need for a holster with the clip, anyone walking by wont think twice about whats in there.

I've got a KELTEC .380 I carry when wearing slacks or if i'm dressed to where I can't cover my .40 S&W. I've never had any bad issues with it and it's fairly accurate for a small pocket gun. I'd rather be carrying that when the .40 just can't be there than to have nothing at all. I'm like "Evil Roy Slade", can't walk without one.

x2. I have the Ruger LCP and it's great. Accurate too for such a small pistol. Consistently hits kill zone up to 25' in range practice.

I have both the Keltec P3AT and the Ruger LCP, as well as a bunch of other pocket pistols.
Something you need to know about both: They are not full double action. The hammer is pre-cocked when you rack the slide, and it's supposed to stay that way. If the hammer drops on a dud round, you have to rack the slide to reset the hammer.
Now, that's all well and good, shouldn't be a problem. But more than once, I've pulled my pocket pistol at the range to empty the mag, (as is my custom) and got nothing but a click. This has happened with both pistols. I have no idea how the hammer came unset without firing. I know to check the hammer position each morning if I choose to carry it.
So right now I'm carrying a Sig P238. Nicer pistol in every way. I don't like DAO in a pocket pistol, but it will work every time if I do my part.
I like my NAA Black Widow in .22WMR for the same reason. with hot loads it's equivalent to .32 ACP or better.
I'll be looking at the Kahrs next, including the PM9. I don't think they have the hammer reset issue.
What I'd really like is a DA/SA P238. Maybe a para LDA in 380.
