With the myriad of pocket pistols available today it can be hard to pick one that’s just right. I held off on a .380 to replace my old KelTec P32 for years since most of the .380’s were similar size and held six rounds while my .32 ACP was held seven. Not enough of a … Read more
If you know you’re headed for a gunfight, you bring a rifle. For daily concealed carry, though, we all compromise by carrying a gun that’s small enough to conceal without being too cumbersome or too uncomfortable. For me that’s usually a micro-compact 9mm carried IWB, but for the past week I’ve had the new Ruger … Read more
With an onboard capacity of 10+1 rounds flush fit and 12+1 rounds extended, Ruger’s new MAX-9 takes aim at the incredibly hot market for micro-compact pistols with double-digit capacities. Equipped with a tritium and fiber optic front sight and an optics-ready slide at an MSRP of just $499 (less on Brownells), the MAX-9 undercuts the … Read more
The Ruger LCP didn’t make the first .380 ACP pocket pistol. Not by a long sight. No, but the Ruger LCP made the .380 ACP cool again and the People of the Gun should be grateful for that. It’s a great cartridge, just capable of being “enough gun” in the hand of the inexperienced, and … Read more

A Ruger LCP is the firearms portion of this EDC. John from South Carolina also has a Kershaw folding knife, a Gerber Crucial multi-tool, and a Nitecore light. Instead of debating the merits of .380 ACP as a main carry – because we’ve totally beaten that one to death – how about letting us know … Read more
This pocket dump includes a Ruger LCP and a blade. Given the recent .380 ACP debate I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on using one as your main carry. And if you do carry one, is it only for non-permissive environments or is it your daily carry?
Yes, there’s a gun in there, towards the back. It’s a Ruger LCP, one we’re all familiar with to some extent. There’s also a Leatherman, a Benchmade, and a light. But back to the LCP; my experience has been that it’s a reliable, relatively accurate gun and works well as a BUG or boot gun. … Read more
