WWB seems to be overpriced in .380. At Cabela's you can get a box of Magtech FMJ ammo in .380 for $14. WWB goes for $16 or $17, the same price as S&B.

Yes they are tiny, but they just feel like a toy to me. I'm not saying they are a bad gun, but they seem more novelty than practical. Yes, they are small but how small is small enough? It seems to me that once you get down to a certain size, then going smaller doesn't buy you much. If we all agree that the S&W J-Frame revolvers are easily pocket carry-able, what benefits do I get by going even smaller than that?

That depends on your pockets and other factors. I don't agree that a J frame is easily pocket carry-able in ALL my pockets, while the LCP is. I've carried my LCP in a jeans pocket that would be impractical to carry a J-frame. The flatness of the LCP is what is important there, as well as length and width. The LCP wins over a J frame in each of these measurements. The LCP is also 6+1, as opposed to the 5 of a J frame. An extra mag is considerably more compact to carry than a speed loader. The LCP is 59% the weight of a typical J-frame. The difference in MSRP between the two is $231.

So the deal is that it is a small, light, inexpensive pistol with a carrying capacity of 7 rounds. So far, it seems to be more much more consistent and reliable that its competition, the Kel-Tec P3AT.
