The S&W Bodyguard .380 is a considerable step up from the LCP in terms of ergonomics and fit and finish. Its manual of arms is Glock like if you leave the thumb safety off and ignore it. They should be more affordable now too because I understand it's also available without the built in laser.getamap wrote:Well, I know it has been forever since the original post but I've now had a Ruger LCP and a Glock 33 for a few years. I've gotta say, I really dislike the LCP. I had one of the early ones and I think the fit and finish has improved since then, so maybe i'm just bitter. As small and light as it is it can be taken anywhere, but I do not enjoy shooting it at all. I have pretty big hands so that adds to why I am not a fan. But I do not feel comfortable relying on that gun for anything besides a few last ditch shots. The Glock 33... well, it's a fatty. Obviously not in the same category as the LCP. Whether you like Glocks or not, it is nice to have essentially the same grip/controls/trigger as it's larger siblings we are all used to. I'd like to get a Sig Sauer 938, but I have some other things in line first.
In a good pocket holster, it makes quite a nice carry gun for times when you don't want to carry a gun you'd choose if you knew you were going into a fight, but want to have something in case a fight breaks out anyway.
