    I have recently started carrying the .380 in the summer, the little lcp is almost un-noticable in your pocket.

    A little gun is better than a big one left at home but you decide

    Same thing I started this summer. And I'm loving it.

    The little 9x17 is on my hip as I type this. I have a couple of 9x19's too.

    I carry a single stack Kel-Tec 9 because I'm not a big guy. No way I could conceal a 1911, especially in the summer.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    I use to carry a full size gun when clothing would allow, and a compact .380 when clothes did not allow. I was never a fan of midsize guns as they did not fit my hand and were not "that much smaller" then most full guns. I carried this way for over 10 years.

    Over a year ago now I bought my first compact gun, a S&W M&P 9c. This gun fits my hand so well I just had to buy it. Before buying it I did some looking at ballistics between the .380 and 9mm cause I did not think there was much. Well on paper there is quite the difference, in real life I have never had to find out.

    I have a nice Comp-Tac IWB holster and carried the M&P all last summer in shorts and a T-shirt. I had no problems with either comfort of printing. So given the choice between the .380 and 9mm I would choose the 9mm whenever I could. Since I have had my M&P I have only carried the Keltec a few times.

    As stated ANY gun you have on you is way better then the one that is not.

    Neither.
    An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.
