If you like the P3A-T from Kel Tec then you need to check the Ruger LCP out. I picked one up today and it is the same size as the Kel tec but looks and feels 10 times better

I've read a few bad reviews over at glocktalk. Alot of products have problems when they first come out though so its really no surpise. If you wait a year, you might get a much better gun once Ruger gets the problems ironed out.

Why not go with say a Kahr CW9?

9mm has several bullets that not only expand, but penetrate deeply from sub-compact pistols.

.380acp, by contrast, doesnt have any. You either sacrifice penetration for expansion, or vice-versa.

I actually sold my Keltec P3AT to buy a Kahr PM9. The difference between 380 and 9mm didn't bother me much, but my P3AT was simply unreliable. Lets hope the LCP is more reliable, I'm glad I never needed to use my P3-AT when I was carrying it.

The .380 is just a back up ccw
I carry either:
Kimber ultra CDP or
Glock 23 or
Kahr CW40
The Kel Tec was just a back up
The ruger LCP will take it's place

What do y'all think about the neck holster form Comp-Tac for the Kel-tec?

Hmmmm, might have to try that.

I have a P 32, but have been looking at others. (Simply for another caliber, not because of reliability.)
