CCP Ruger LCP or Baretta NANO ?

[All Star]

I'm wanting a new ccp gun.

I'd like to know your thoughts on Ruger LCP, Baretta NANO, and Ruger 9mm

Any pros or cons?

I'm here to listen!

Thanks!

Neither.

Ruger SR9C, Glock 26, Springfield XDM subcompact, S&W M&P compact or Shield if you must have a single stack gun.

I probably left a few others out.

I've got several ccp guns already. The glock is a little heavy, and my baretta is only a .25 pocket pistol.
Was just looking to up the caliber without adding too much size or weight,

I have had and carried a Glock 26, Kahr PM9, Compact 45 M&P. If you are disciplined enough, certainly go for these weapons. But, I constantly find myself throwing my LCP in the pocket (holstered of course) over other options. It too easy... hides well.

 

[All Star]

homeslice, what holster do you use?

 

[rrussotwo]

If you must have a pocket gun, look at the DB9.

Summer time in Louisiana, nothing beats A LCP! JMHO

If you must have a pocket gun, look at the DB9.

Did they ever sort that gun out? I know when they came out they were having some problems with them.

Currently a Desantis Superfly, or a Recluse.

i have the glock 26, nano, lcp, lc9, and cm9. during this time of year i usually carry the LCP since its so simple and conceals EXTREMELY well. during winters or heavy clothing days i usually like my glock 26. The nano doesnt feel as comfortable in the hand and shooting it is just about the same. Go with the LCP if you have to choose between the two.

I like the sig p290 myself.

I have both the LCP and a G26 I find that I carry the G26 just about every day. The LCP is Neat little gun, but IMHO should not be an EDC. Get the LC9 or G26 and dress around the gun.

I agree. I had an LCP and sold it because it was making me lazy and I was carrying it more often than I intended. The LCP is great if you just want to carry "a gun" for a false sense of comfort. The G26 is as small as I'm willing to go, and only when I can't conceal my G19 which isn't often.

I love my PM40, but I will throw my bodyguard 380 in my back pocket sometimes. Just depends. My wife swears by her LCP. I have also carried a Taurus 709 Slim and a PF9 and liked them both, just couldn't get a feel for the triggers. I found that anything bigger than my Kahr PM ends up staying at home.

the lcp's accuracy sucks because of the sights and trigger pull. i like my sig p238 it is much more accurate and functions just like a tiny 1911 i have both and most of the time carry the sig.

 

[returningliberty]

Not a fan of the LCP. Loved my BG380 but it has a truly awful trigger. I would recommend a S&W shield for a light CCW. The XDS is apparently a nice gun too, but since I've never shot one I can't really comment on it.

Isnt the Nano coming in .40S&W soon?
