Is this yours? If so, they do look a lot alike.  I haven't fired mine yet. It's such a tiny little thing I guessing it kicks pretty good. Though the shell is pretty small. Found youtube video where the guy comments on the similarity of the two guns.

I've got the Kel-Tec. I put the holster clip on it (Literally, a clip that mounts to the side of the gun) and carry it IWB for times when I want more firepower than my NAA .22 Magnum but can't get away with carrying my XD Sub Compact .40... Here's the clip I'm talking about - http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/KEY016-33.htmlNot sure if something similar is available for the LCP, a quick search wasn't able to turn anything up. |

I recently got on a revolver kick, got a Taurus M94 Snubby SS .22 Revolver and a matching Taurus 905 SS 9MM revolver. Both are fun to shoot and accurate for snubby's. I almost had a matching Taurus 455 SS .45ACP Revolver.... then I would have had a BU revolver for my common caliber Semi Autos. I am still on the look out for one.... |

Much as I like the .45, I'm hoping they eventually make a .40 S&W version, maybe with one more round in it... I'd be ALL over that! http://www.xdspistol.com/I just saw that .45 XD in my NRA rag (Rifleman). Looking at the link it appears kinda small, and shooting a .45 from that would be.... painful no doubt. The Grip appears to be a tad too short I'm thinking. I might have to check it out in person.... we have a Gun Show local this coming W.E. . My handgun calibers of choice are .22, 9mm and .45.... yet I have an NIB .40 cal Ruger KP944 I have not yet fired, got it to go with some others in a kinda collection but I don't stock .40 cal ammo. Considered selling it..... since it's the only .40 I have. Others tell me to just shoot it... LOL. Why do you like .40 cal? |

It's a good compromise between the speed and small size of the 9mm with the stopping power of the .45... In the space of 10 .45s I can have 12+ .40's (I'm pulling the numbers outta thin air, but you get the idea...) And unlike the 9mm, it's proven itself to be a very effective stopping round... |

And the .40 only is .05" smaller than a .45 and a LOT more muzzle velocity. I carry a Glock G23 and love the .40cal. |

How much research has been done on the stopping power of a 9mm with +P+ and hydrashocks?
Just curious. 9mm not my favorite round for sure... but by happenstance I have 2. Squealy is buying 1. I am going to a shrouded hammer 5 shot .38 revolver as a carry piece.

By the time you get it out from under the seat, you'll more than likely be dead. |

By the time you get it out from under the seat, you'll more than likely be dead. Worse yet... what if you are not in your car/truck, but inside the Quickie Mart paying for gas or getting a coffee and you have a need for it.... Kinda hard to say "wait a sec while I go get my gun". Granted I have another one in the truck/car, but that LCP is the one that you should be wearing.... its small enough to just put in a pocket (unless you carry something else). |

DeSantis Pocket Shot Holster Or a similar facsimile thereof.... Here is the one I got last year at the NRA Convention (it was a tad cheaper at the convention but not as inexpensive at the Desantis). http://www.concealmentconcepts.com/pocketpal.htm When I get dressed I put my wallet in my left pocket and my P3AT/Wallet Holster in my right, and I am right handed. I may or may not have another with me, depending on the weather, dress etc, but the Pocket Gun comes with at all times (unless it's to a Federal Property/Building of some sort). And to be honest, it provides a better grip so you can control the small gun, take better aim, feel less recoil and reacquire target aim. If someone by chance points a gun or knife at you and asks for your wallet, get your wallet (holster) out of your pocket (opposite your wallet) and give it to em (6 or 7 times if need be). Trigger is protected a good bit so one in the pipe is not, or has not been a problem. |

Keep it coming. I'm enjoying learning new stuff. My .45 XD is a little big for concealed carry, although in a side holster under an oversized shirt it isn't too bad. I would love to see the one Serk is talking about. Here's mine.  |
