Best Guns for Girls - Ruger LCP and Sig p238

http://www.survivalnewsonline.com - SnoMan compares two tiny pocket guns -- can he even find them in his bag?

Actually, the title only tells half the story. It's true that the Sig P238 and the Ruger LCP are great guns for girls, but they're also great for guys. In fact, I carry one regularly, and I'm not a girl. They both make an excellent choice for concealed carry in your everyday carry bag, your bugout bag, your purse, or even your front pocket.

Before you read further, understand that I didn't set out to review comparable guns. A fair comparison for the Ruger would have been the Taurus TCP (which comes optionally in pink!) or the Kel-Tec P3-AT. The purpose of this article is to show two completely different options for ultra-compact concealment. [read more at the SNO blog]

where the eff did you get that bag? does it come fully loaded?

@thechoppshop Wish I had invented it myself. I'd be rich!

I don't agree that choosing between the two is simply a matter of budget. Budget was not a problem for me and I still chose the LCP. It's thinner, lighter, more concealable, has a simpler battery of arms, etc..

@desertkoi Proving yet again that there's one for everyone!

Being a first time female gun owner and recent CC, I chose to go with something that I KNEW would not require me to think about making sure I had a bullet in the chamber or if I had the safety off in a high stress situation. I chose a revolver, specifically the SW Bodyguard. Now that I have been carrying for a bit, and I have had some practice with a few of my male friends pistols, I think I am ready for one. I like the P238. Thanks for the info. I need one of those bags too!

@heartlandcountrygirl I hope it works well for you. The key to not having to think about it is lots of practice.

I have seriously considered the Sig, and now I'm definitely going to get one.

@TheGorillatavern I love mine too.

After the first thousand rounds my LCP started eating any ammo I feed it just fine.

@toddn350 I should have mentioned that the p238 comes in several models with a wide price range. Thanks for the info!

I first bought the ruger lcp... Hated it. The trigger is horrible and I find its not that reliable. It is very comfortable in the pocket thought. And its cheap. But I like reliability. I paid 449 for the Sig p238 and I love it. A little bigger than the ruger and more expensive but a much better gun
