Last spring when I was picking my daughter up from school she asked me to come in and help her carry some stuff out when I called her to tell her I was there. I pulled my LCP and holster out of my pocket and thought for a minute where to stow it so anyone breaking my window looking for valuables would not find it.

I couldn't sleep and it finally just popped into my head... that is where I put it! I just went out to the garage looked into the car and yep... exactly where I hid it. LOL!

I have done 2 complete details on the car removing EVERYTHING from the car in an attempt to find it over the past few months. Nope, could not find it for the life of me but I KNEW it was in there!

Sorry, I don't want to disclose my secrete hiding place... but it is kind of unique to my car anyway.

I REALLY missed my LCP because it is the perfect pocket gun positioned between my P32 and DB9. Yep, I was pretty spooked not knowing exactly where one of my guns was for so long. Its location was constantly in the back of my mind. Such a relief having it back in its reserved position in the safe.
 
Three years ago I gifted my son one of those tiny North American Mini .22 lr revolvers for Christmas as a novelty present. When he got home that evening he couldn’t find the little thing and called me to look around my house. Of course I could not find it, and was a bit chagrined that he had misplaced it during the family’s group unwrapping that afternoon.
We just wrote it off as gone after several extensive searches.

One year later on Christmas eve, his wife was wrapping some last minute gifts and dug down to the bottom of the box containing the gift-wrap rolls. Lo & behold, she came up with the little revolver still in its holster. The previous Christmas she had brought her box of wrapping paper to our house to finish some of her packages, and somehow when they were cleaning up to leave afterwards, the gun wound up in said box.
Son & I were both very happy, so last Christmas I gave him the factory carry belt buckle so he might have a clue where it is...

Very cool gift! I love the little NAA revolvers, I have always wanted a .22 short version but I can't hold onto my .22lr version when I shoot it with its factory birdshead. I can shoot my .22wmr ones quite well though. The folding black plastic stock makes the .22lr version useable but it also makes it bigger than the .22wmr version. I am not sure I could even fire the .22 short version... and there is no place that I can go to actually hold one to see.

I want one of those. My LGS had one briefly. Or just a .22 LR version without buckle.

I don't know about the WMR versions. Do they really add much at that micro size, and with more recoil again with small size.

I will carry my WMR but not the LR. It isn't due to the power of the cartridges. The WMR is just bigger enough that I can get a good grip on it in my large hands. I can't hold and shoot my LR version without it flipping out of my hand. The WMR version I get a good grip and is very controllable.

I don't know if this picture will help much but the top one is a LR. The middle one is the WMR. The bottom one is a WMR Sidewinder, the cylinder pivots out to the side to reload like a S&W, Ruger, etc. The new break action Ranger model looks cool and I have been wanting one but it is kind of pricey. The WMR version is smaller enough than my LCP and P-32 that it does fill a carry roll on infrequent occasions.

One of these days I am going to make a slightly large grip for the LR.

I replaced the birdshead stocks on my .22LR with the engraved boot ones NAA offers. Makes a much better difference without adding too much in size. I didn't want the folder-grip because, well, it's a stainless SA revolver and I wanted it to look like one. I also have a WMR model (the 1860 "Sheriff) that came with boot stocks, but I ended up swapping those for some genuine elks, also from NAA. Haven't shot that one yet.

So, I likely made one easier to shoot than it was originally, and the other one harder. ;)

I almost bought a .22 Lr one at a gun show but went home with a bond arms derringer instead, as I’ve wanted a derringer for years out of historical and collecting interests.
 
I wouldn’t of slept that night until I found that gun.

Not know where your handgun is, especially loaded, ESPECIALLY with children around, is not a state I’d find acceptable.
