Default My tiniest carry set up...

My primary go-to gun is a 340PD, but there are time when the slimmest and smallest possible profile is a necessity.

My old Seecamp 380, with 7 rounds of Federal HST 380 in a package the size of a small .25, is perfect for those times when dress slacks and a NPE dictates no bulk or printing while still staying immediately accessible.


I present you with a few pics of my faithful companion...

I am picturing that as a bit of a thumper, LOL.
IN .32, no ...but .380?

Well, it certainly is not as bad as 357 in my 340pd, but it does have a bit of a thump to it. I find that by leaving my thumb "loose", it forces the recoil into the meat of my hand and makes it much more comfortable to handle.

I have a couple of Seecamps in . 32 and they are a breeze to shoot.

Guess it’s better than nothing heading up the beanstalk.

Is that a paddle or pocket holster? It looks nice, but pretty bulky. Seems like your 340 in a nylon pocket holster wouldn't be much bigger.

Largest carry gun, for me, is a P365. Next in line for carry is an LCP Max.

Trying out my recent acquisition, 32 ( have the 380 version but it bites a bit) for real deep concealment, such as gym shorts. One of the above will be close by somewhere just in case.

It is a pocket holster. For leather, quite slim. The gun itself is .9" thick at the grip. The pics will show the disparity in size between my 340.amd the Seecamp. The 340 is huge in comparison.

This little Bauer .25 did hideout duty back in the day, before I bought an even smaller 4 shot Freedom Arms mini .22 mag revolver.
