CC Holster for the new Ruger LCP

The Ruger copy of the Kel-Tec P3AT is best carried in a pocket holster in either the front or rear pants pocket.

Ankle holsters are only good for deep cover.
You have to hop up and down on one leg to get to the gun.
Or already be down on the ground.

Or this iwb. It is what I use. I got some clips from Crossbreed and converted to a tuckable type by removing the spring clip it came with and drilling a hole near the bottom and installing the tuckable clip. I wear it daily and can hardly tell its there. Sometimes I have to check b/c it is so unobtrusive. This way there is room in my pockets for phone, wallet, keys, chapstick, knife, etc.... And I did pocket carry for months prior and got tired of the bulk in my pocket.

My wife uses something like this for her LCP and it works very well:

Except hers has the sticky backing all over the outside of the holster. She used it in a Defensive Pistol class and it held fast to the inside of the pocket while the gun came free very easily. Now she's switched to the LCR so we have some more searching to do....
 
I use a Kydex holster from Alabama Holster Company. Inexpensive, and works well IMO. I have a Nemesis, and while ok, just didn't work for me.
 
The fobus for the LCP

Normally I don't care for the Fobus because they are too tight. This one is specifically made for the Ruger LCP with a nice red Ruger logo on the front. Beyond looks, this one really works well but only weights 2 oz.

Fobus for LCP

I have started carrying the Fobus and really like it! It's quick to put on and off, and the inside of the paddle doesn't bother my skin. It keeps the gun protected as well.
 
I've been contemplating a similar question, and I'd decided on sticking with CrossBreed, either the microclip or minituck to go with a P32 ... now for the hard choice, is this a holster for a BUG, or another strong-side holster? And do I want to toss in the $15 extra for the super-duper horsehide?

More opinions HERE
 
kholster.com makes their version of the SuperTuck/MiniTuck IWB holster for the LCP, and there's a cheap ($10) tuckable IWB holster over at CheaperThanDirt.com (yeah yeah, I know). I'm planning on getting the Fobus holster, the cheap tuckable IWB holster and a pocket holster and carry based on how I dress that day.

Something else to consider -- get a kholster/SuperTuck/MiniTuck/MTAC, a set of C-clips from CompTac, and a cell phone/PDA pouch from WRBUSA.com. Replace the rear metal clip with a J-clip and slip the cell phone/PDA pouch over the original metal front clip. Should make for a near-invisible setup. (This is my plan for the G26 when I get one of those, too.)

Hilltopper, depends on what your purpose is for the pistol and how you dress. If it is a BUG and not your primary, then an ankle holster might serve you well though I don't usually care for them. If you are wanting to carry it as your primary weapon then you should strongly consider either pocket carry or inside the waistband.

For IWB, BIG +1 on the Alabama Holster Company. Take a look at their Hooker line; it is an IWB rig that is tuckable, with a hook that comes over the waistband and then back underneath the belt to keep it from slipping during the draw. I am right handed and carry a 1911 in a strong side OWB holster with an LCP back up in small of the back by using a left handed Hooker holster slid around to the rear.

Can't recommend any specific pocket holster, but anything that will fit the Kel-Tec P3AT will fit the LCP.
 
I use the Uncle Mike's pocket holster and the IWB holster, total cost for both less than $30 and work well. I also have a t-shirt that has a underarm armpit holster that works well but requires a loose fitting shirt. I stopped using an ankle holster because most are very uncomfortable, to me, and it is to easy to accidentally reveal the weapon when you sit down. My primary CCW is a XD40 sub compact carried in a IWB holster or in a DeSantis Top Cop. My normal attire is Docker pants and a Tommy Bahama shirt.
 
I carry my LCP in a Desantis Superfly in my front pants pocket. It comes with a print guard that is priceless for hiding the profile of the gun.
Its also very comforting to be able to have a full grip on your carry piece while appearing to just be standing with your hands in your pockets.
 
I bought a wallet holster a couple of weeks ago, and think its great. This is not a holster in the sence that you are drawing it from leather/nylon, but you just remove the hole combo. (LCP & wallet-holster) You can pretty much carry it anywere without the possability of having a problem. It's important that you learn to shoot it with the wallet on, as its a bit different, but not difficult. Here's where I got mine---> www.concealcity.com LM.
PS. If you order one be sure to specifiy for what make & model gun, in this case, Ruger LCP.
 
this is my daily carry holster for my lcp. it is very comfortable. dodnt take too long to stitch. good holster for all day carry.

I'd like to get a Uncle George wallet holster, but I can't see spending $60. Anything comparable for about half that price?

Also, what about ankle holsters?
 
The beauty of the LCP is that it can be carried anywhere in any fashion. You can even swallow it one day and use it the next.

Personally I'd throw it in my pocket where it's the most easily accessable. Uncle Mike's Size 2 fits the wife's Keltec P-32 and my Colt 1903 Pocket so it should most definitely fit your LCP.
 
I use a Don HUme JIT - AWESOME! Holds it tight and snug against your body - cant tell its there :) I also use a Fobus for quick runs
 
I have a plastic Galco paddle holster, a blackhawk #3, and a leather OWB Galco...... They all work well and depending on the clothes/ situation are all perfectly suitable. I would say the Blackhawk #3 or Desantis Nemesis are the most versatile because they fit in just about every pants pocket I have.

The paddle holsters are effective as well because they are easily worn, and easily taken off. Regardless of the choice on holster the LCP is so diminutive that the concealment option never end.
