Don't buy that. .25 sucks and that gun may well not run very well
Especially when you can get a modern 380 that's lighter and the same size.

I've got an LCP. It works. And fits the bill for when I can't carry at least a sub compact.
No bias towards it, I'd consider the Kahr or S&W was well.

Interestingly, i saw an old AMT .25acp in the used case at the LGS a few weeks ago and it was cheap...I'm actually thinking of getting something like that so I can wear in short pockets in the summer even if I am outside with no shirt on it's still concealed.

This.......... IMO you're better off with say an NAA Mini-Revolver in .22LR than with a .25

Ruger LCP as a backup only, or as a last resort if I can't carry something else. I don't prefer to have something that small/limited on capacity as my primary EDC, but find it to be adequate in the backup role.

I rock a Seecamp .32 or a S&W 438. They've never failed me.

I have and sometimes carry a P3AT and a P238 but I prefer my little pistols in .45

It has been reworked for reliability

Why no love for G42

I love mine. Its in my pocket everyday, all the time.

Of the options you posted, Id say Sig 938, or its baby brother the 238.

Because it's HUGE compared to the other .380 pistols on the market.

I carry a P-32 with FMJ when I can't carry my Glock 19... or as a BUG sometimes.

Mine has been reliable after cleaning up the firing pin a little bit. It misfired a lot in the first 50 rounds I shot it, so I took it apart and noticed the firing pin had some burrs or roughness on it. A few minutes with some emery cloth, and a quick polish, and it's been 100% reliable since.

It's not a 25 yard gun, by any means, but at 7 yards I can keep ~75% of my shots in a 3x5 card pretty easy.

I have considered getting a J-frame for a long time... but have not. I believe in carrying a full size, or nearly so (G19), gun as much as possible.

Another vote for the LCP. I very rarely, if ever, leave the house without an LCP on me. They just disappear so well...now if only it held more rounds!

I've carried a Seecamp .32acp for 15+ years and it's a fine little pistol and works for my needs. I had an original Colt Mustang PocketLite .380acp, but it was stolen.

I carry an LCP in my pocket almost all of the time, even when something else is on my hip. It is a very concealable pistol with a pocket holster.

That being said, I have shot the P238 and like it a lot better. Maybe I will eventually push myself into getting one.

Once again, GD strikes with a flood of morons who can't read. No one here is pocket carrying a G19 or a Shield.

Another vote for the Kahr CM/PM series. I sold my Bodyguard and replaced it with a CM40 and it works great as a pocket carry gun.

M&P Shield is as "Micro" as I will go. It's small enough to conceal easily, yet points and shoots like a compact sized gun IMO.

I've been carrying full size framed pistols for as long as I've been carrying anything (about 15 years)
My father in law picked up a Kahr 380 about a month ago for carrying and at first I hated it....thought it was too small, a crappy caliber, and more of a toy than a weapon. The more I play with it the more I find myself wanting something tiny, that can fit in a pocket.

Anyone have one of these teeny weeny pistols for EDC?
Any feelings of inadequacy?

I do rock a full size 1911, but when I can't for whatever reason, I carry a P3AT in a tucker IWB.

My P380 is working out quite well so far; the only problem so far is finding .380 ammo. Far better than the P3AT it replaced - real tritium sights, a slide lock, and a much better trigger.:

Same setup I've been carrying, EVERYDAY, but I has better phone now. I carried a full size pistol about a dozen times in the last two years since I got the lcp. I carry it in a fobus, nemisis or in the watch pocket of my pants.

When I can't carry a real gun, I'll run with my LCP. It's been reliable and I load it with hardball. I usually pocket carry a G27 in a kydex holster.

I have a ruger LCP but not happy with the trigger, I plan on upgrading to a P380 when I have the money. i currently carry the CW9 and my wifes carries the CM9. CM9 took some rounds through the pipe to break in but now is flawless.

I plan to pick up an LCP next weekend. My current carry pistols are an HK P7 and a Keltec P-11, but I don't carry much anymore do to laziness and wardrobe (shorts and t-shirt). Throwing a .380 in my pocket is better than tossing my cellphone at someone.
