I do not think that I could improve upon what L.W. Seecamp designed, first as the LWS-25, which evolved into the LWS-32. I am not sure about the .380 version, as I have never had the opportunity to fire one of them. I use the LWS-32. Some have written that the .380 Seecamp recoils just a bit too vigorously, but I do not know whether it is a matter of discomfort, or is actually difficult to control. I would rather shoot .32 ACP with good control, than have difficulty controlling .380 ACP. The trigger’s pivot point is actually located rather far forward, which helps those with large hands cope with the pistol’s tiny overall size. Operating a Seecamp pistol is like using a much larger pistol; everything seems to fit well enough. Notably, a Kel-Tec .32 is a viciously uncomfortable pistol to shoot, in my case, because it just does not fit.
Of course, there are no sights, so, a Seecamp is not a gunfightin’ pistol, but a “get-off-me” pistol.
The designer had the experience of being wounded, in combat, during WW2, when he was serving in the German Army. As I recall the story, at the time he was wounded, one arm was put out of action, and this experience played a part in his design process. He earned a reputation as a builder of double-action conversions of 1911 pistols, before he started building pistols of his own design.
I do not normally use a Seecamp LWS-32 as a secondary/back-up pistol, but as an occasional/special-circumstances pistol, for the times I must, absolutely, not be seen as being armed with a firearm, in which case it might be the only pistol I have with me. Sometimes, I carry the Seecamp pistol in a pocket holster, as the only firearm concealed on my person, while I carry a larger weapon off-body. Sometimes, the pocketed Seecamp is accompanied by another weapon that is concealed on my person.
If I could custom-design a vest-like garment, specifically tailored for pistol carry, in a pocket, I would rather tote something like a Third-Generation S&W autopistol, with a single-column magazine, such as the Models 3913, 3914, 908, and derivatives. I owned a 3913, briefly, in the early Nineties, and foolishly let it get away, sold to finance the Next Big Thing. In 2018 or 2019, after retiring from LEO-ing, I decided to revisit DA/SA autos, for concealed carry, and started by buying a well-preserved Model 3913 TSW. I have since added a 908, a 3914 LS, and a 3913 NL, in that order. The long-stroke DA trigger pull, for the first shot, is something that I like, for private citizen threat management, especially if I am going to carry the weapon inside a waist pouch, chest pouch, or pocket. The safety/decocker levers provide a bit of traction, to help my sometimes-gimpy right hand to run the slide, when I shoot lefty.
As I have indicated in other parts of the forum, I prefer a small revolver, for pocket carry, but this being the Autoloaders section, I am keeping this reply framed within the autoloader context.
