I love my two LCP's. One has the Crimson Trace. One does not have the Crimson Trace. Both are super reliable. I don't care what others say... they are super accurate and 25 yard chest shots are easy so long as you know the fundamentals of shooting. The trigger pull is heavy, but that is by design as there is no manual safety. The sights aren't big, but if they made bigger sights, people would complain about them. It is designed to be a lightweight, compact pistol. It accomplishes that and has exceeded my expectations. As far as reliability, concealment, and accuracy, the LCP is still the standard in the gun world.
I haven't heard that before. What is it based on?

Had one--played with it for about a month--then dumped it----just wasn't for me
I really don't know the answer to that and have no experience with the P380. I do remember when both guns were newer in the marketplace a lot of forum reports noting the reliability of the LCP and other forum reports of reliability problems with the P380 and multiple returns to the factory. Those issues, if real, may be long resolved, I don't know, but generally I would expect a gun which costs over 70% more than another to in all probability be considerably nicer and probably more desirable. Another factor is that some people, myself being one, much prefer a hammer-fired over a striker-fired pistol whether for sound or even irrational reasons.
My two favorite small 380s are the LCP and the Sig P238 so price is not the only criterion. The p380 certainly has much to recommend it.

Can't hit diddly with an LCP. My choices in .380 would be a P238 or S&W Bodyguard. I have the 238, but was pretty impressed with the Bodyguard when I played with it.
Guys do you know why there are hundreds of small auto pistols made today? It's so you can spend your money trying to find the perfect one for you. There is always going to be a new one that for some reason we all have to try. Somehow it is going to do something that your old one didn't do. That's showbiz. If we all knew how many people have bought a hundred guns only to end up with one they had 10 or 40 years before, we could all save a lot of money. But that would be no fun.

Before you buy , check out the Beretta Picos! slimmer than any other smoother profile , slide locks open on last round ! Kevin
The Pico is very intriguing but until it's been around longer, I don't think I would try it,
Especially after the early Nano problems.

Bought the Kahr CW380 last Saturday, but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, because of wet weather. I, also, have the LCP, so I will be able to compare them. My LCP has been completely reliable, but I won't about the CW380 until I put 200 rounds through it.
