Shame on you. 
I guess I broke one, too.

Ruger is finally coming out with a pistol designed for concealed carry. But, instead of offering a compact version of one of their "P" series pistols, they have a brand new design: the LCP.
http://www.ruger.com/LCP/
There is also a new caliber, the .327 Federal, being offered in the SP-101 revolver. They will also offer the 4" barrel Redhawk in .45 Colt caliber. So many choices, so little money....

I really like the look of that LCP!

Not quite my cup o' tea for a handgun (I prefer Steyrs and Springfields for range work), but it is sweet-looking and looks like it would fill the niche well for a lightweight concealed carry.

I agree. I'd rather have a bigger pistol, say 40 S&W or bigger. Just a little purse gun.

It might be ok if you were wearing light clothing like shorts and a t-shirt or tank top in summer, but I still like my Smith & Wesson Airweight for that. But the LCP would be flatter, I guess.
What I really don't understand is why Ruger has NEVER offered a compact version of their P-series pistols. They've been making them since the mid 80's, and every one of their competitors offer compact pistols in 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP (and some others, as well). If I were in the business, I would at least want to be competitive. I just have to wonder what's up with that! I can only assume that they just don't WANT to offer compact versions of their pistols.
Now, that 4" Redhawk in .45 Colt....

Yeah that looks real nice. I'd like to have a nice revolver someday.

That looks to be a great gun. Does it take standard 1911 clips?

Yeah it does, and I already had a bucket load of 1911A1 mags. I hope to break it in this coming weekend.
