[QUOTE="spd67, post: 904236, member: 9008"] I have both a Smith and Wesson 642 and the Ruger LCP. I find that the Ruger is much more comfortable to carry. I have had about 650 rounds down my little Ruger and not had a single problem with it. Though I have had probably 2000 rounds down the Smith and Wesson and it always go's boom. I tend to be more accurate with the Smith and Wesson than with the LCP. The J-Frame will give you more firepower than the .380 cartridge in the LCP. Stay away from the Kel Tec's in .380 they have numerous problems with feeding and extraction of rounds. So even though the smith does not carry as well as the LCP in the pocket I would say that the advantage of the smith would outweigh the LCP slightly. I have not found any pants that I could not carry the smith in the side pocket. though the LCP does fit in all pockets better than the smith. you can even carry the LCP in your back pocket in a holster that looks like a wallet. For a backup...be with you all the time gun you can't go wrong with the LCP or a Smith Air weight J frame with one you get portability with the other you get stopping power. [/QUOTE]
