Any one tried the LC 380?
I'm not interested in opinions of 380. Just the Gun!!!

It's pretty much on the LC9 frame, I think. If it is, I think it will be a fairly good shooter. Took me a bit of time, but I like the LC9. It will not be a good pocket carry, but will do well with a concealed carry holster.

I just got an LC380. One range session yesterday. Impressive little gun so far. Hardly any kick. The extra mag bottom is a must have. I rattled off a magof 7 +1 aimed at about 25ft after several trials of different holds. The grouping is dead on and was about 2". Not one function fail. Closest thing was when empty one time, I accidently loosed the slide stop. The slide momentum twisted the gun out of my hand. I was not holding it in position. The slide stop is sort of hair trigger. But We slingshot the slide anyway.

It's a great little gun. I replaced my LCP with one in July and have not regretted a minute of it.
It seems to be just the right size and is Very east to shoot and is accurate as you could shoot. Now is ammo wasn't so hard to find :roll:

I've seen several places with .380 ACP on the shelf. It's in small quantities but out on display for sale. That's way better than a year ago for this caliber of ammo.

Let me say this about a .380 for self defense, it's way too.....oh forget it!

I bought a .380 when I thought ammo would find after the 2008 shortage. Ended up buying the reloading gear because of price and availability of cartridges. I probably have all the ammo I'll ever shoot, probably more.

I have a LCP, a couple of months old. It's a snappy little shooter. I like it because of the size and weight. But with that comes a price. Plus when you can only get two fingers on the grip well it's no range gun. It's nice to know that the newer LC 380 shoots softer.
