There's a few.

Also remember that if you carry IWB, you need to wear pants a couple inches bigger in the waist than you normally would to accommodate for the gun. I good holster, belt, and some new pants may be a cheaper investment than buying a new gun and will allow you to still carry your .45, which IMHO, is preferable to a .380.

Any thoughts on that?

LOL. Hopefully. If I ever get it done. Ill post a link to it sometime. HG

OK. I see.

Yea I think the IWB is a good idea and my pants are usually carpenter style, but if i buy 3 or 4 good holsters to find the right, then I coulda just bought a .380.

And I love the .45, but I think its to big to carry for conealment regardless of what holster i get. HG

If anyones interested. Heres the link to my Gremlin. Feedback appreciated. HG

That's awesome, hemi. I was born and raised in Kenosha. AMC's were everywhere and I owned my fair share. I always wanted to make a silly fast Gremlin. Good job!

Buy a kel tec p3at and get a pocket holster, wear a oversize shirt and no one will know its there.

I've just added a P232 to my "family". I've shot the P232 several times before at the range I used to shoot at in Colorado. They had one as a rental. I now have one of my own. Pictures coming soon.

I love Sigs.

I bought the LCP early on...Yes! I heard it got recalled. But, at 56 years old I have yet to drop a handgun. I guess that must be the exeption to the rule.

There's always a first time.

Don't give yourself bad karma. I also bought the LCP early on. Yep, I registered myself with Ruger to get set up for the fix. I don't carry it much, so it doesn't bother me to send it in and get the free mag. Rather have it fixed than take the chance of an AD.

Let us know how it goes.

i carry the Ruger LCP most of the time. During the summer months while in shorts I used a pocket holster. Now with the weather cooling off I am using the new Fobus Evolution (Ithink thats the name.) Very small paddle holster so it is easy on and off. I wear it about below the kidney and I forget that its even there.

BTW, its a pretty accurate little thing as well.

P3at or LCP, can't go wrong. I enjoy the finish of the LCP over a P3AT.

I really like my Bersa Thunder .380.

If you're ever at a pawn shop or gun show and you see a Lorcin .380, run away as fast as you can. Had one once and named it the Locin Jammin' .380.

Kel-Tec P3AT for sure. Carries like a wallet

Second post to this. Although I love my LCP, haven't sent it back in yet for the recall, I carry it all the time.

I have to admit though that I have fallen in love with Sig and am seriously contemplating purchasing a P232. If I go this route, I will buy a SS model, yes a bit heavier, but hell it's a Sig!!!!!!

Having said that, buy the LCP, you will not be disappointed, unless of course you are one of those folks that aren't satisfied with anything.

I am Option 3. How so? I am sure the best 380 available for the least money is the Bersa Thunder 380. I have owned mine for years and hasn't hiccuped yet. Of your two choices I would go with the Kel-Tec. Again, why? I have a Kel-Tec P32 and it is a great little gun. Regards, Richard

I have never owned any of the weapons listed (except for the shovel)....but I voted for the Keltec.

I have owned a Walther PPK/S...and I liked it

No love for the Seecamp?

I don't think I like those preset hammers. What's a good model of shovel?

I picked the shovel.
