I’d rather have the Ruger LCP going for about the same price. The one I handled at the gun shop had a nice smooth trigger pull right from the factory, better than my SP101 for sure. Lightweight and compact and it’s a Ruger, they are built to last.

I’ve had the Bersa, the Ruger LCP and the KelTec P-3AT. All were great little pocket pistols that gave me no trouble other than the recall on the LCP, However, I sold them all to friends that made me offers hard to refuse. In their place, I picked up a KelTec PF-9 in 9mm Luger that is a relatively inexpensive, 7-shot single stack, thin and lightweight pocket rocket that is very easy to conceal. I like that gun even more than any of the .380s I had. However, IF I were to get a another .380, I personally would lean towards the Sig P238 Nitron with Rosewood grips. Its a knock-off of the old Colt Govt. 380. Thin, lightweight and easy to hide. Two big drawbacks for most folks though is the price and it is a single-action only pistol. Single action doesn’t bother me as I’ve been a Colt fan for most of my life. The price though is over $5 bills...kinda high. Nice lookin’ piece though.

Kel Tec fans like to call the Ruger LCP the Little Copied Pistol. Take an LCP and compare it to the P3AT - the resemblances are more than coincidental...;) In fact, several people have taken parts from the P3AT and they drop right in to the LCP (the hammer/sear, the trigger, barrel, guide rod, and a few others).

As the original poster already has a P3AT, I don’t think he’s in the market for Ruger’s “interpretation” of that pistol!

For the record, I’m not anti-Ruger; I love my 22/45 Mk III pistol, it’s a verified tack driver. And the 10/22 I had for years was a blast...

Ruger’s new products are very nice. The LCP and also that new AR 15 that uses a more reliable gas system to avoid the problems of other AR designs. The LCP looks like a bargain. Ruger’s are built to last and reliable as anything. They will never misfire even with junk reloads.
