    Default Belt clip or LCP?

    So I finally got sick and tired of carrying full size 1911, and decided to join the small pocket 380 bandwagon, and got LCP.

    And I also got a belt clip for it, Its for KelTec P3AT. Dealer said this works.
    I see that the if I bent some part, it'll fit.

    Anyone using this setup?

    I passed on the belt clip idea as there is nothing protecting the trigger except the belt. I pocket carry mine in a pocket holster.

    i like the idea of them on an LCP...but it does not work with the Hogue grip, so it was a no go for me...

    I had the clips on our LCP's. They worked fine. As for worrying about the trigger being exposed, unless you're carrying it Mexican style in your pants, I can't for the life of me figure out what is going to hit the trigger down there.

    I've carried both a P32 and LCP that way for almost 15 years now, and never had an issue.

    I will say, however, that around younger children who may climb over me, I took the precaution and simply carried without a round chambered. That is primarily how I carry now. The first 5 to 7 years I carried with a round in the chamber.
    I forgot how much I missed the slang from the 70's and 80's: "Bite me, dig?"

    That's the way I feel. If you're comfortable carrying with an exposed trigger OK, but it's not for me.

    I like a simple desantis pocket holster. Keeps lint and junk out of the gun too.

    Either will work. Depends on what you are wearing.

    LCP needs at least an optional safety. That's its biggest problem, even though its a hugely popular firearm

    It has a 10-12# trigger there ain't nothing pulling that thing the country mile it needs to travel accidently. But I will recommend a holster.
    I personally like the pocket holsters or one on my belt. I really don't like pocket carry but I have been doing it for a bit again.

    As long as it remains optional unlike the LC9 that only has one model with a internal lock, magazine disconnect, mechanical LCI, and manual safety.

    That abomination of feel good gun safety legislation bullshit will never get my hard earned money. Ruger lost major points with me by not releasing a model for free states.

    The S&W bodyguard has a similar form factor and has a manual safety.
