LCP or ???

[Tinelement]

Is the sig290 the new compact 9mm? I was at Jensen in Loveland today and we were talking about it but they have not yet received any. Would really like something with the option of night sites.

I liked carrying the LCP I used to have, but hated shooting it. It stung my hand and walloped my trigger finger; so I got rid of it. Now I carry my Kahr CW40- a little bulky, but not bad. WB

I used to have a Kahr CW9, and loved it. I had a Galco USA holster for it, and it would vanish when I wore it with a T-shirt and shorts. For reference, I'm not a very big guy either (5'4", 180 lbs).

Of all the polymer micro 380s, the LCP is probably the most reliable with the highest consumer satisfaction. It is very good for what it is. Basically, think of the LCP as an autoloading derringer. Effective range for this piece is within 15 feet. It should get a consistent 2" grouping at that range, even with the sights and trigger as it is. If the LCP had an external hammer or a second strike capability I would've kept mine. I agree that the Bersa is a more enjoyable pistol to shoot.

If your in the market for a Sig .380, I have an unused one, 232, (Just snapped capped it a bit.) going up for sale soon. All black, metal DA/SA. The only other DA/SA would be the CZ 9mm, but I think they are poly. Sig is all metal. The laser sure would help, I was looking at the 9mm rugers, but they had problems with safety when dropped or something. And DA only, I am liking Sigs DA/SA.

I use a laserlight thing to practice with, but its not the same as an add on laser,

I'm not a fan of the LCP either, I can't deal with the trigger. What I have been carrying is a Diamond Back .380 in a uncle mikes pocket holster. If you want to shoot it let me know and we can meet up for a .380 shoot.


What I think is an even better t-shirt and short carry option is the CCC shaggy AIWB holster. I have been using one for a couple weeks now to carry a G19 and I have been very happy with the set-up. Philip

I carry my LCP all the time in the summer. It is nice to be able to through it in the pocket and it disapears. I have been practicing pocket draw and shoot as well as general shooting with it. I will not win any target shooting comps with it but it will get the job done in CQ.

Just how small does it have to be for you? My Sig 230 is super accurate and super reliable. I consider it a modern Walther PP, but better. I'd say have a good look at a 230 or a 232- then maybe rocktot can sell you his! They are GREAT 380s and need nothing but to be shot. The more you shoot it, the smoother the action gets.

PF-9 is a great pistol, kind of a handful when firing, but not uncontrollable. Is very reliable, and concealable. Never have had a failure to feed, or any other problem, with several hundreds of rounds out the pipe.
