I FIRST START CARRYING A MDL 60 AS A RECRUIT AS BACK UP. CARRIED IT FOR 20+ YEARS. I LATER PICKED UP A 642 AND CARRIED FOR YEARS AS WELL. PICKED UP A SECAMP .32 AND CARRIED IT. THAN A SECAMP 380 & CARRIED IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS I'D CARRIED A 8 SHOT 317 2" .I ALWAYS POCKET CARRIED . THE J FRAMES WORE HOLES IN THE PANTS BUT THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE. THE SECAMPS HUNG IN THE POCKETS LIKE A ROLL OF QUARTERS. SMALL CONCENTRATED WEIGHT. TODAY I TOOK DELIVERY OF A RUGER LCP. I HAD BORROWED A FRIENDS TO PLAY AROUND WITH. THAT SOLD ME. I LOOKED AT ALL 3 VERSIONS OF THE LCP. I WENT WITH THE ORIGINAL VERSION. WHY? IT CARRIES VERY EASY IN THE POCKET. WITH EXT. MAG IT HOLDS WELL, SHOOTS FINE AND 7+1 (380)IS 60% MORE THAN 38SPL. JP
