My review of the LCR and LCP

[Walter45Auto]

All of a sudden (well, maybe not so sudden) I carry 4 pistols when I am out.

I started to carry a Glock 21 in a Smart Carry for my main weapon.  I felt a need for a backup as is not uncommon, but I went with a Glock 21 IWB on my strong (right) side. 

The 23 would be quicker to get into action.

When the LCP came out I got one and carried it in my left pocket (jacket or pants) in a Nemesis.  I found I tended to keep my  hand on it whenever it would not look out of place, which is almost never.

I like the feel of having it so readily available I missed it when I needed to carry things in my left hand.  I ended up getting a second LCP which I carry the same way in my right pocket.

So now I have a main carry, a backup carry and two last ditch carries....

Funny thing is that do to the nature of an attack, it will be one of the LCPs which will be mostly likely the first weapon presented.

If there is a bit more time, then the Glock 23 can be reached and if there is still a bit more time, the 21 is up...

Jokingly, I would like recommendations on if I should carry two spare magazines for each gun or if one would be sufficient? 

If you need spare ammo with all that, then You need to find another set of hangouts. I noticed with my G30 in a Smartcarry, I do have to carry a G21 mag to break up the outline of the top of the slide.

I started carrying a LCP with a CT laser a couple of weeks ago.  It is now the gun I carry most of the time because of the convenience and conceal-ability of the gun.  That being said, I would rather carry a big gun if possible but that is not always practical.

The LCP is not the gun to take to a 25 yard shooting competition but, of course, it was not intended to be a target gun.  It is a close range shooter.  I find it very accurate, make that combat accurate.  You just have to keep in mind that it is a gun with a specific application.  If you need it to be something other than what it was intended you will be disappointed.

Ammo availability is not an issue.  I have 100 target rounds and 50 defensive rounds or so in my cache which is not much.  Then again I'm not shooting in competition so I don't need a lot on hand.  Plus shops around here have target ammo in stock if I need more.  Defensive .380 ammo availability is more scarce but I have enough for the moment.

I would and do recommend the LCP for pocket carry.

I gotta say my LCPs are always everyday guns. On quick trips around the little town I live in, an LCP is the primary; otherwise, it changes over to my left pocket and becomes the secondary gun. I also like the LCRs...I never thought I'd think of an S&W Airweight J-Frame as heavy!

I have an LCP and it's the gun I carry the most especially during the warm weather months.

I was out of town and stopped at a leather shop where I purchased a small cell phone case (leather with metal clips) for my phone. They were only $7.99 + tax so I purchased two so I would have a spare.

One day I took my extra one and found that it holds my 2 LCP backup mags perfectly when they are inserted upside down with one facing forward and one facing backwards.

I've been carrying it everywhere and no one has noticed the tips of the Crtical Defense ammo that is exposed at the bottom of the phone case or the fact that it looks like I'm carrying 2 cell phones. At least, if they have no one has commented on it thus far.

Maybe I should grab a bunch of them and put them on ebay. I could advertise them as tactical stealth mag carriers for the LCP!
