I have a Ruger 380 LCP on my birthday list from my parents.
My mom has one she carries daily. Loves it. I have shot it plenty of times and I deemed it I would get one to practice with and keep in my truck or car until I am old enough to get my carry license.
Rounds are cheap and I am a dead shot with it. :)
Really? That was the first one I bought for the wife, we both disliked it. Even with the clip that has the pinky extension I would get one good shot, the first one. Then it jumps upward. The only way I could get any groups that made sense at all was 2 handed with a left index finger around the trigger guard. I sold it.
If they can go a little bigger on the cash contribution, get a sig p365. Full 9MM (a 380 round is a short 9mm, still 9mm in diameter but shorter). You get the extra kick, 9mm ammo is the same price as 380 up here, PLUS you get 10 rounds per clip. That's 11 with one in the chamber AND it comes standard with glowing night sights. I keep one on my ankle to compliment the smith 9C on my right side.
If you like the ruger get it of course, just make sure you shoot your moms a few dozen more times before she seals the deal. Try to fire off 4 or 5 within a few seconds and see what happens.
They make a 22 in that frame now I've been thinking of getting one to play with. Wouldn't be as jumpy as the 380.
@Jim: it's a MAGAZINE, not a clip! the M1 Garand has an 8 shot CLIP, auto loaders have MAGAZINES! (Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed magazine Nazi) LOL
As for ammo price differences; 9mm here is about .20 per round. 380acp is .35 per round.
