    I carry an LCP all the time. It is much easier to shoot with Pearce Grips on the magazines. I also have the Crimson Trace Laser on it. That helps a lot.

    I agree it is not a lot of fun to shoot, but I shoot it and it works at close range. It is easy to hide.

    I also prefer the Bersa .380. Wonderful gun to shoot. Very accurate.

    In the winter time I carry a Bersa Thunder .40 Ultra Compact. Not as much fun as the .380 to shoot, but still is very nice.

    If I could hide it I would carry my XD.

    I also like the LCP as a backup gun. Your CCW does not limit how many guns that you can carry.

    Ed Head at Gunsight recommends carrying two of them. It is faster to pull out another gun than reload. He demonstartes pulling out two at once from the pockets and shooting them simultaneously. He says no foe will stand in front of that.

    I have and love the p238. Great for sliding in the pocket and heading out . Very reliable , I read about all the problems so I ran 400 rds thru mine to get peace of mind. 1 FTF and it was ammo related.
    I held the Sig 290 and it felt awful. I shot the lcp and smith and wesson bodyguard. Between those to I would go S&W bodyguard 380.

    If money is not an issue P238, if it is the

    S&W or the LC9

    Then again I am usually in cargo shorts or jeans so the M&P compact or Glock 23 is what I carry most if the time. When fly fishing the big stuff comes out.

    I'm a fan of the Glock 27, however, I've been checking out the Walther PPS. That looks like a bad little gun!

    I've really enjoyed my Kahr P380. It's been reliable and accurate. I've also fired the LCP and it just has a cheap feel in my opinion.

    I have my eye on the Ruger LC9 with the finger grip extension on the magazine.

    I was looking at some P238's at PB Gun Room today, they look quite interesting. Nice looking little popguns.

    I like the LCP cause I can carry in any type of clothes especially gym shorts. I don't like the .380s that weight as much as my G26, other wise I'd carry that and have 4, more powerful rounds.

    if it were me I would definitely go with an LCP or a kel tec P32 on this one. I dont really enjoy the P3AT that keltec makes, just because of the recoil. Both the LCP and the P32 are easily concealable in something like a pocket holster, and can easily pass as a wallet. Both are pretty darn accurate from the examples that I've fired. That said, I havent fired other ultra sub compact in the same class (diamondbacks, bersas, sig's etc.) so I kinda have a biased opinion. But by all means if youre looking for an LCP go for it. AND, of course, if you can deal with a little bit bigger of a gun, the LC9 is a great option for a concealable carry gun as well.
