LCP How many of "US" carry this as an EDC

Used to.  Traded it off.  Currently my smallest carry gun is one of the larger Kahrs.  I want to get an MK9 or MK 40, but not in the budget right now.

 

Since I work for the government in our office, I can't really EDC any pistol.

I've owned a couple of LCP's for the last several years. The first has a blue/carbon steel slide and is a Post-recall model. The second is the newer version of the original model, with a stainless slide, with the improved (but still rudimentary) sights and improved trigger.

I only got them both so I could still carry a retirement CCW when wearing pants in which I couldn't fit one of my J-frame snubs. They became quite handy for that role. i rather liked that some range drills and quals with them demonstrated that I can run them as well as one of my J's, at least out to 11-15yds (which is their intended role, anyway).

Given my druthers, though, if I'm wearing pants of shorts which have deep and loose enough pockets to conceal one of my J's, I prefer carrying a J-frame. I like the heavier bullet weights in .38SPL.

The LCP is a little more at the minimum-marginal end of the marginal CCW spectrum, for me. (Sure, it beats my NAA .22LR & .22MAG Mini's, but those are mostly something I keep on hand for an occasional Onion Filed type of hide-out weapon. Or, as gentleman's pocket jewelry.)

The last few days has seen me wearing jeans which have allowed me to conceal one of my M&P 340's, so except for one day, the LCP's have remained locked up.

LCP in my pocket right now just like every other day.  I've been carrying the LCP since April of 2016. Prior to that it was a Keltec P32.tom. :cowboy2:

LCP (and P32) here too Tom.  The LCP is nearly the same size, so rarely carry the P32 anymore. 

I carried the G19 today, but the LCP is very small and convenient and as other said, goes anywhere.

I sold the P32 to a friend that was in need of one. That was after I proved the LCP was going to work for me. tom. :cowboy2:

My littlest gun is a P32 and it's been 100 percent reliable, At one point I consider trading it for a P3AT 380 and then when the LCP's came out I thought about getting one of those but never did, I think of the LCP as an "improved" Keltec. But I consider the original LCP to be a better gun than the LCP II. I also think the G42 is a better gun than the LCP but if I were going to carry a larger gun than the LCP I might as well carry a Kahr PM9.
