FWIW My son loves his Browning black label .380.

It may be bigger than some others, but is very lightweight, and overall is a slick, accurate little "1911".

I just picked up one of these myself, and I have to say that I really like it, but I wouldn't consider it to be a pocket pistol. But I have the 4.25" barrel on mine versus the compact, with the 3 5/8" barrel. It is nice and slim, and I'm considering trying it as my EDC, using an AIWB holster. Here it is, shown with my full size 1911:

I have a Ruger LCP II. It is cheap and reliable. I put a Hogue grip sleeve on it, which makes it feel better. I have big hands though, so try it without it. I don't think you can go wrong with an LCP II given the price. Lots of holster options too.

I bought a Colt Mustang Pocketlite the same day Mrs bought a Sig 238, figured if we were going to add a new caliber to the family I should have one too. Out the box the Sig was the nicer pistol, better trigger & sights. Not to be outdone I went to work on "Sally" sending the slide to Novaks to replace the bump of a front sight with night sights & while the slide was gone I went to work on the internals & replaced the trigger. It's better than the Sig now but it wasn't cheap.

I’ve had the original LCP since the recall… been an awesome pocket gun. Very minimal, but better refined than the P3AT. I added a Hogue grip sleeve, CT laser and Magguts conversions in all my magazines.

I actually just ordered the LCP MAX today. Main reason, better sights in a similar size. I likely won’t retire the LCP completely, but I could see myself carrying the LCP MAX more.

My best friend has a Kahr P380… which he shot a lot. I actually had to rebuild the gun so he could continue to qualify/carry it. I don’t know the round count, but was never a fan of Kahr.

I do have a little background with Walther PPs… but I recommend those in .32 more than .380. Just a more comfortable round to shoot in those guns.

I have many .380 guns. Currently find myself grabbing my LCP Max with the 10 round mag most of the time.

However, if I could find a “user” (not pristine like this one) FEG SMC, I would throw that in my pocket. I find it easier to shoot than my various Walther PPK and PPK/S guns and much lighter with the alloy frame.

I carry a Ruger LCP in 6+1 that has been very dependable. It's a bit smaller than my wife's Kimber Micro .380 and I can shoot it better. It has a heavy trigger with no safety which I view as a plus. I recently purchased a LCP Max which I'm currently vetting as a possible replacement...but I really like the LCP.

I love my Ruger LCP

My little LCP fits in my pocket and I usually forget it’s even there. Ruger sells it with a comfy little pocket holster. At the range at 7 yards, it does what I need it to do every time. A bad guy would not be comfortable after meeting my diminutive LCP .380.
