I'm looking at getting a LCP with a wallet holster as a backup "holy crap" gun to carry with me at all times. I normally carry a Taurus PT145 compact and will continually carry it (until Ruger comes out with a SR45C) but I would like something smaller and better to conceal with it. Something I can stick in my back pocket all the time and not know it's there...until I need it. My question to the group is, is the LCP a good choice for that? Is there any problems I need to be careful of putting this pistol in my back pocket? And anything else you can think of that might be of interest to me. Thanks for any help you all can give.

I prefer front pocket carry, but that is just a personal choice.
There are many good small 380 pistols on the market now, and they are all pretty good.
I own the LCP, TCP, P380, Bodyguard, P3-AT, and a couple of others, but I carry the LCP everyday.

I think the LCP would fit your need perfectly. I carry mine daily in my front pocket. I have carried in my rear pocket also. Most of my rear pockets aren't deep enough to conceal properly though. Pick up a nice pocket holster and you should be good to go.

Rear pocket carry is possible if you choose your pants carefully. If you have trouble getting your wallet in and out, you'll have a problem with the LCP.

I carry my LCP every day in my rear pocket. With this holster it prints like a wallet and also feels like one to me. It is so comfortable you will forget it is there. If the pistol is needed, you can pull it out so fast you won't believe it.

I carry my elsie pea w/ CT in a Recluse-plus pocket holster. It works well for me.

Thank you, Sir. I hope to be doing this for many more years. The first ten were a lot of fun.
I stopped at a local shop and found an LCP that had just found it's way there. Box, case, paperwork including original receipt. 1 box of ammo shot through it, about a year and a half old. Great find at about $100 below average retail, couldn't believe my luck that day. Keep your eyes open, I had planned to get one in the future, the future just came around a little quicker than I expected.
And a rear pocket holster? I'd have to check the gun's weight rating first!

WHY? There is enough arguments against the .380 round already. People will burn Rugers in effigy if they go smaller...
Look at the general comments about the new LC9 :roll:
(Although it would be nice)

Hello. My LCP is my "always" pistol. I've carried it in a hip pocket but front pocket works better for me. YMMV.
