“The Ruger LCP II is a fantastic option for people looking for an easily concealed .380 ACP pistol. It is surprisingly accurate, considering its size, and plenty reliable for self-defense. One thing we’d like to see is better customization options. All in all, we really like this gun.”

“The LCP Max might not win in the looks or shooting department. But it sure is the smallest and lightest gun that will reliably shoot 10 rounds of .380 ACP.” – Eric Hung

Although an aging design, the Bersa Thunder 380 remains a go-to recommendation for those looking for a small and affordable .380 ACP pistol. Good ergonomics, solid reliability, and respectable accuracy make this sub $300 pistol a real steal.

The Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380 features a 2.75-inch barrel, a 6+1 capacity of .380 ACP, and an unloaded weight of only 12.3 ounces. This double-action-only pistol also includes a manual safety. With an extremely light overall weight and small footprint, the Bodyguard makes for a solid choice when it comes to concealed carry.

This version of Springfield Armory’s XD Mod.2 comes ready to go with a Crimson Trace red dot already installed. Although the grip feels a bit aggressive and recoil is snappy, this tiny pistol is a great option for those that want to carry something small and lightweight.
