7 Concealed-Carry Handguns

Christmas is less than a week away and that means the time is right for a list of seven concealed carry handguns for last minute shoppers.

Some of the handguns on the list are revolvers, others semiautomatics, but all are concealable and demonstrably popular for self-defense.

Ruger LCP II—The Ruger LCP II is an updated version of the extremely popular LCP. The pistol is chambered in .380 with a grip that is slightly wider than the original LCP. The wider grip was added to diminish recoil. The grip of the LCP II is textured to help keep the gun steady in the owner’s hand, and it has a trigger that is equipped with a safety. The edges of the pistol, including the sights, are rounded and smooth to prevent the gun from snagging when drawn from a purse or pocket for self-defense, and at 10.6 ounces the LCP II is comfortable for everyday carry. The pistol costs about $290.

Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380—The M&P Bodyguard is a semiautomatic handgun chambered in .380. It weighs in at 12 ounces and has a meaty, textured grip to help prevent the gun from slipping in the hand. The M&P line has proven to be one of Smith & Wesson’s most popular lines ever, and the Bodyguard 380 one of best concealed carry guns in that line. It is a true pocket gun imbued with Smith & Wesson quality. The Bodyguard 380 begin at about $310.

GLOCK 42—The Glock 42 is an ultra-compact Glock handgun chambered in .380. The 42 looks like a Glock, feels like a Glock, and will last like a Glock. It weighs 13.7 ounces, which means it provides the same kind of comfort in carry as the Ruger LCP II or Bodyguard 380. The 42 is extremely accurate and easy to shoot. Myriad aftermarket accessories are available for the gun. The 42 costs about $395 to $410.

SCCY CPX-2—The CPX-2 is a 9mm handgun available in a multitude of color options. It is durable, accurate, and very concealable. At 15 ounces the CPX-2 is a bit meatier than the LCP II or Glock 42, but its slightly bigger size allows the gun to hold 11 rounds of ammunition (counting the round in the chamber). On the other hand, the LCP, Bodyguard 380, and Glock 42 each hold 7 rounds (counting one in the chamber). The CPX-2 has a long double-action trigger pull that helps guard against accidental discharges should the gun get snagged on something in a purse or glove box. The CPX-2 cost about $290 to $300.
