The gun I carry when I can't carry a gun is the LCP. The only thing I did to mine is add the finger extensions to the mags.
It just can't be beat for deep concealment. |

I can shoot my G42 much more accurately and quickly than I can my LCP....I am a fairly experienced pistol shooter, but the short sight radius and the double action trigger that breaks very close to the front of the grip makes it difficult to shoot accurately at distances over a dozen yards or so... I am able to shoot my G42, which has a typical Glock trigger break, and fairly decent sights much more accurately and quickly... and for me, repeatable hits at a further distance, is important....

I have a Kahr CW380 for the same purposes. Very nice trigger, smooth but long--more like a good DA revolver. Finish works well for the Florida heat and humidity. LCP is a good choice too.

haters gonna hate...but a Taurus TCP is awesome. Lightweight, better trigger than both the Keltec and the Ruger LCP hammer, and last shot hold open/slide lock all for under $200 in your pocket if your google-fu is strong.

After the FIL went through two of them because the main pin bent and messed up the frame and Taurus had to replace it twice after 3 send in's I would never recommend one to anyone. Way to many better options and better quality pistols. I do not normally draw a line in the sand on pistols but Taurus for sure gets a line in the sand for me. |

I tried to give them a number of chances when I was younger. Nope, I don't suggest them to anyone. |

It does need at least a pocket holster to keep it in the proper position when you need to get to it. I found it to go top of slide to the bottom unless it was in a pocket holster. |

I carried a Keltec P38T as a back up on the PD. I still carry it on occasions where a minimal size is important.
I did have to qualify with it at 25 yards to carry on the PD, so it will do the job. Dave N |

I carry a Keltec P32 with a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. I wear cargo pants a lot, and it absolutely disappears. Even blue jeans work OK with it. The P32 is weaker than 380, but has an extra round plus last round hold open. Hard to get much slimmer. Mine is very reliable and accurate at self defense distances.

Another Kahr CW380 here. I also have an LCP but prefer the Kahr (better shooter)
I would add that if you are printing with an LC9 and a tuckable holster you should try a different holster (maybe even just a different location or more cant). Hiding that gun shouldn't be a problem unless your shirts are very tight. I carried an SR9C in an MTAC today under a tucked in polo. It wasn't an issue, and I don't wear baggy shirts. I am not a large person either at 5'6" 170# |

I carry a Kel-Tec P3AT HC in a Galco PH436. I've got close to 500 rnds through it without a hiccup. The trigger sucks but I never expected it to be good. The grip is better than the LCP and I don't need a slide stop lever on a pocket pistol. Yes the Ruger is prettier. I've thought about trading it for a Kahr CW380 but I can't seem to come up with good reason why I should. It's cheap and ugly just like my girlfriend.

I had been seriously considering the TCP but it bothers me how Taurus doesn't seem to support it and aftermarket options are drying up. I am not a Kahr fan but I think dollar for dollar, the CW380 seems to be a decent compromise. |

a comment for you that might have an early model P3AT... mine is pre external extractor spring, and I had an issue with the trigger axis pin slipping down (located behind the trigger)... unload, and check that the pin has not slipped down (I later epoxied mine in place).. if it does, the trigger was able to rotate far enough to contact the front of the grip before it could release the hammer... my LCP has a shouldered pin that cannot slip... don't know if the newer KelTecs have the shouldered pin

I am not a large person either at 5'6" 170# I didn't think I'd have trouble but the first time I tried I looked in the mirror and it looked like I had a brick on my hip. I wish I'd taken a picture because this was BAD. It wasn't normal CCW print anxiety. I'm 5'11" and 170 pounds, and my holster is a Crossbreed Mini Tuck. I also had a narrow little dress belt and the holster clips were pretty much slapping me in the face out of visibility. So from this thread, it seems LCP is the way to go for .380, and I should at least look up the KelTec P32. |

I like the dimensions of the Keltec P-32, that is truly tiny and definitely worth a look.

I will probably pick something up myself this year. Still undecided on something like a LCP or a J frame.

OP: I originally mentioned my CW380 but revisiting your question I do pocket carry a CM9 a lot in casual shorts. |
