I've had a couple over the years. not very accurate. sold them off. compact & mid size guns work well for me. even w/ small hands.

I was at a local dealer here today. He had an LCP in. First time I actually handled one. I think I know what is on my "To Get List" next. Very nice. Small, light and pretty. Heavy trigger pull though. He wanted $375 for it which is way too high. I'll wait until they are available all over but it was pretty.

I have a Beretta Tomcat .32 which I use for pocket carry. It's not real accurate but I don't feel these small guns were meant to be. Point and shoot.

You'd be better served with the Kel-Tec P3-AT. Exact same gun as the Ruger LCP,(Ruger copied Kel-Tec) except all the bugs have been worked out, and it's a little less expensive.

I'VE OWNED AND CARRIED MY KELTEC 3AT FOR YEARS IT'S SMALL LIGHT AND NEVER A "LEFT IT IN MY SOCK DRAWER" GUN YOU CAN EVEN USE THE AFTER MARKET POCKET CLIP AND BE WEARING NOTHING BUT YOUR SHORTS IF I LEAVE THE HOUSE I HAVE MY KEYS WALLET PHONE KNIFE AND MY KELTEC EVEN BOUGHT ONE FOR THE GIRLFRIEND

I was really impressed with the look and feel of the P3AT. Never fired one but really liked the feel. At $275 how can ya go wrong?

I have owned kel-tec's and I am pretty familure with their quality. I beleave they are reliable. I have not heard that the LCP is not reliable and I have compared the P3AT and the LCP side by side and the LCP feels better in the hand, has what apears to be a stronger frame and IMO a better finish on the slide. It was a Cabela's that I saw them both and they were priced the same. I just liked the LCP better than the P3AT. I believe both are good guns.

I agree with everything there. I handled them side by side too. The LCP was $35 more at the dealer I saw them but I'll gladly pay an extra $35 to have the Ruger name behind me. Kel Tec is coming on strong as a quality gun but I still feel better with Ruger.

I have enjoyed the two Kel Tecs I have shot. I don't own one but a shooting buddy has 4. They are great little guns with a nice kick and a cheap price. I plan on buying one soon.

$375? Is that the same thief who wanted $260 for a high point? MSRP right on Ruger's website is $330.
