The Ruger LCP is the pistol that largely created the modern pocket .380 category, and it remains one of the lightest, flattest defensive handguns you can carry. This version pairs the blued slide with a turquoise frame, which is a nice change from an endless sea of black polymer and makes it easy to identify as yours. With a 2.75-inch barrel and a hammer-fired action, it is built around a single priority: disappearing until you need it. The .380 ACP is manageable to shoot and adequate for close-range defense. A pocket, purse, or ankle gun that goes with you when a larger pistol would not.
