    Default Advise with pocket pistols

    I am debating on pocket pistols. i would like to stay within a .380 caliber. I bought an LCP but the girlfriend claimed it, since "I have my own guns to carry" i am in the the market for another pocket pistol. I was looking at getting sig 238 or possibly another LCP. I want something small as i already have a LCR and G26. are there any other choices besides ruger and sig for .380 pocket pistols? does anyone have a review of a 238 or other? i am leaning on a 238 as i don't want to buy two LCP's(even though one is already taken by the GF). i have shot kel-tecs and have hated the triggers on them. anyone have a sig 238 or .380 pocket pistol that they could give me advise on? thanks.

    Virtually identical are the

    Ruger LCP
    Kel-Tec P3AT

    Pretty close to the above is
    Taurus TCP
    Kahr P380

    There is the Sig 238 if you like a 1911 style.

    Sig also has the P290 in 9mm
    Kahr also has the PM9 and CW9 in both 9mm as we

    I have the LCP with Crimson Trace laser in a DeSantis Nemesis holster and could not be happier with that configuration.

    check out the diamondback .380. it is similar to the glock in design so it would be comfortable to you. check previous thread on this weapon posted by me there were some issues that were dealt with by the factory on early production runs. mine works great now as it is a regular carry piece.drop me a line if you want particulars on the upgrades to make it so. they also now make a 9mm but i have no experience other than seeing it. cheaper than the p238(great weapon) more than the lcp.

    One to add is the Bersa .380. Not as small as some of the .380's but fits in a pocket.

    I have a P238 and a Kel Tec P3 AT. The P3 AT is closer in size to the one your GF took, the P238 is a bit bigger in width and weight. That said, the P238 is a far more comfortable pistol to shoot. If you do have to pull it out, it also looks more intimidating than the P3 AT, LCP, and other slimmer ones.

    I really like the new Desert Eagle Micro Eagle. Never shot one but if I was going to buy a .380 that's the one I would get. I heard the are very reliable and all steel frame. I would imagine felt recoil would be better. I have shot the Ruger and I thought that was also a pretty nice gun.

    You can't go wrong with a Seecamp .380
