Ruger says, THE RUGER® LCP® IS THE PERFECT CHOICE, LIGHTWEIGHT, COMPACT AND POWERFUL. Do you agree? Why? Or, why not?

The RI's are close, but still over an inch taller and longer. The closest I could find was the Baby Rock, but that's only a 9mm.

I have a Baby Rock in .380. I like it.

You are comparing a compact 1911 to an LCP?

No. That was in reply to Jeepnik’s, “I don't know why no one is making a reasonably affordable .45 acp small semiauto.” Sorry for any confusion.

My bad. Re Jeepnik, KAHR

No to the AMT .45 Backup. A bit larger, but let's face it if you need it would you rather have a mini .380 or a pocket sized .45 acp?

Kahr's are still larger.
AMT .45, height - 4.063", length - 5.75", width, 0.96"
Smallest Kahr, height - 4.5", length - 5.8", width - 1.00" at the slide + what ever the slide release adds.

Looks like they both might fit in the same holster

I have a Browning 1911 - 380. Easy EDC and accurate.

Having owned the original LCP for many years , I can honestly say that the new LCP Max blows the original Away in Every aspect. I appreciate all the changes Ruger made . For myself its 100 times more pleasant to shoot & accuracy is improved considerably also I find the size increase also helps it fit my hand much better..
