Probably the best modern pocket pistol

[Jessie]

That would be the original Ruger LCP.
The model II has a better trigger for shooting targets.
The original long pull DAO pistol is perfect for safe pocket carry close combat. IMHO
Can you point to a smaller, more powerful pistol?

 

[ladder13]

Not smaller but the Kahr CW380 is pretty nice.

 

[Shoo2tr]

Agreed. the Kahr CW380 as all Kahrs has a very nice, smooth, and predictable DAO trigger. Personally, I don't carry smaller than 9mm so the Kahr PM9 is my EDC. The Kahr triggers are just so much better than those on the LCP's or BG380's.

How are they price wise? I think they are more expensive.
Are they worth it?

 

[Shoo2tr]

You can generally find the CW380 for around $300. Personally, I think they are priced fairly given the overall quality and reliability I have experienced with Kahr products. Others may beg to differ and that's fine. I'm just saying that I would gladly pay $50-75 more for a Kahr than a BG380 or LCP.

When I'm not carrying a Sig P290 IWB, there is a Remington RM380 in my pocket.

In various tests comparing small pocket pistols, the one that seems to always come in first place in the Rohrbaugh .380. However, with a price tag of $1200, I think I'll stick with my Ruger LCP.

 

[gregintenn]

I've seen original LCPs advertised recently for $200 new!

They are the ultimate pocket rocket in my opinion. Not an expensive option either.

I had a CW380 in my hands today, very well built, imo, a quality piece. About 300 as stated.

I've been carrying a LCP since they came out and can't complain. It's been 100%. Breaking in my new S&W 69 last weekend I figured I'd practice with the LCP. No problem hitting 10" plates at 15 yards.
Been wanting a single stack 9mm for a while now and have come to realize the Kahr CM9 is about the only pocket sized one. Maybe this Christmas.

I realize that we're talking about a pocket pistol here, so reliability is paramount. I don't care much about trigger pull, ergonomics or accuracy beyond 10 yds.
Does that change your opinion?

My search for pocket guns ended four years ago when I got my LCP.

My LCP has been 100% reliable for years.

I'd put either of these two in my pocket any day - before anything else.

Even though the fit and finish is much better on the LCP, I do not think it would be in existence today if they had not had the Keltec to copy. I really like my LCP, but I think Keltec should get most of the praise.

the one that seems to always come in first place in the Rohrbaugh .380.

Remington bought Rohrbaugh and their .380 is essentially the same gun for much less $$$. Joe

The Rohrbaugh was available in 9mm too. I doubt that Remington will bring it out in 9mm., and if they do it would probably cost lots more.

And, I doubt that Ruger paid Kel Tec anything, not saying that they had too.

The LCP 1.5 (original shape, better trigger pull) is the best pocket pistol I've tried so far. I haven't shot a LCP MkII yet, but I noted in the AR review that they thought it recoiled more than the original.

Somebody mentioned the Sig 290. We have a 380 variant in the house and it is just a little too bulky to go in a pocket for my build. Shoots great, though.

The BG380 is an ergonomic disaster as far as the trigger goes. I'm baffled that S&W haven't fixed the design yet. Maybe they have given up on the pocket 380 market, leaving it to the LCP and the Sig 238.

I can tell you that the magazine has enough room for 9mm, a spacer is used for the 380. They may never make it in 9, but the frame is certainly capable.

I like my Sig 938.
