My mistake. The .380 I bought from Cabelas was a LCP not a LC380. I'm sure the LC380 is better than the LCP. Hope it's worked out well for your wife.CC Italian wrote:well I picked up the LC380. This is what she wanted and if it doesn't work out she can just sell it and start again. It is easy for her to rack, small enough to carry iwb or in pocket but not so small that it has harsh recoil like an lcp. Also, it is defiantly smaller then my shield! In the grip, height, and length. Let me put it this way, the shield seems more like a smaller M&Pc while the LC380 seems like a big LCP. They are similar in size but one drop in the pocket and it is clear that this gun can be pocket carried while the shield is just a little to big and heavy for my taste.
While the trigger is not the best it is totally acceptable for a cc gun and noticeably lighter then the LC9. I hope we get range time this weekend so we can report back. So once again there is a 380 in my home. Am I happy? Yes, because there will be a use for it. Not for me but for my wife. It won't just sit in the safe and collect dust like my last one. I know it's not 9mm or better and if you have seen any of my older posts you know how I feel about the .380 and so does my wife but she WILL carry a gun like this and will be comfortable with it. That was our goal and as long as range time works out this has been a success.
