I mean it is a fair comparison in the sense of:
1. Similar price
2. Same measurements
3. both meant for CC
4. Same chambered round

Your points (weight) are valid, which is why i offered my G42 to her to try and
compare to her LCP to see if she'd like it better.

.380 is a perfectly fine round to carry. Anything is better than nothing.

I guess by violent I'm meaning there's a lot of hop... Mostly because of the
size of the firearm itself. Anything as small as these with short barrels is
going to feel bigger than they really are.
However some other facters (how they recoil, their weight / materials) will
absorb some of that. Its a matter of finding what is comfortable.

Regarding never carrying .380 that's your choice.


Thanks,
