I put a belt clip on mine and carry inside the waiste band, but I also clean it regularly.

Do whatever floats your boat, but to have an exposed trigger is asking for trouble.  What if you get in a wrestling match and the other guy's finger goes inside the trigger guard and pulls it?  It might kill you instead of him.

Food for thought, and worth what you paid for the opinion.

The trigger isn't exposed, it's inside my pants.  I don't see myself getting into "that kind" of wrestling match where the guy's hand is down my pants in the butt region.  Just sayin.


And I don't see myself getting hit by a train tomorrow, but it could happen.  The trigger guard is not covered.  As I said, do whatever floats your boat.

I have the Taurus 738 TCP .380 and love it.  Very similar to the Ruger but usually $50 cheaper and it has the slide lock function on the last shot.  I would recommend looking into it, shoot both and see what you like the best, thats the only way to go :tup:

The trigger pull is soooo looong on the LCP, I doubt anyone would ever get it to go off.  Besides, like I tell everyone:  I'm too old to wrestle or fight with anyone--I'll just kill him.  When you're nearly 70, a life sentence isn't much of a threat!  :chuckle:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Hahaha, and that's why you don't mess with old people.  ;)

I have one and carry it every day on my 10 mile bike ride in a cheap uncle mikes IWB size 36 in basketball shorts. Have never had it fall out or anything and like many other have said i often forget it's there. It is surprisingly accurate at about 30ft my dad i were able to make a pop can dance all over the ground.I carry PMC starfire hollow points in it.

I like mine and carry it more than any other piece. It easily will fit in a jacket pocket or a pair of shorts. Not a fun range gun but shoots pretty well out to 10yds. I use Speer Gold Dot 90 gr HPs.

One thing I don't get is people saying .380 is not powerful enough. Sure it's not .45acp but in a gun like the LCP, for it's intended purpose I feel very comfortable with the caliber.

This guys test an LCP with Gold Dots and it goes through 4 layers of denim, a 6.5" thick hogs skull, and two one gallon milk jugs of water.
