Been thinking of purchasing a pocket pistol, but will likely be on a tight budget. I currently own and carry a G17, and would like to purchase a G26. But, the price of the subcompact Rugers is pretty nice. Not too sure of the .380 ACP round though. I would rather stick with 9mm. Has anyone had issues with the Ruger LCP, LC9, or LC380? Thanks!
Pocket pistols are a trade off, nothing comes without cost. As guns get smaller my opinion is that they also become more quirky. I have always been less then impressed with little pistols that are built to meet a price point in the market.
I have yet to find a better value and compromise between size and power then a small revolver. Trust me I have been looking because if I ever find an auto that I feel can fit this role I will gladly let the revolver go. Now keep in mind what I am talking about here is a gun that is used as a "pocket gun" or "backup gun", basically a tuck in in the pocket and run to the store or change the oil in my car type gun.
