I carry the Seecamp most of the time, then the R9.  Have a Ruger LCP, NIB, even have a "Hidden Holsters" holster for it.  The Seecamp wins out most of the time for carry due to just size.

The kahr shoots much softer than the LCP and mine is CRAZY accurate for a pocket pistol.  10" ballons at 50 yards are easy one shot kills.  I can't do that with my LCP at 25 yards!  The LCP is nice, P380 is nicer, but for me a Seecamp or R9 will be in my pocket.

Well, I'm almost 68 years old, with declining vision and there is simply no such distance as 25 yards, much less 50..  ;)

My personal self defense distance with my favorite 9MM HK P2000sk is 7 yards, and with my Seecamp or LCP it's only 3...

But, enjoying hitting a target wayyy off is not something I'm unfamiliar with, just unfamiliar with the past decade or so...

Enjoy your vision and steady hand while you have 'em....  Time has a way of screwing with both..

Best Wishes,

jesse

Hi Brenden,

Thanks..

I forgot to say in my earlier ramblin' that, for me personally, I found the addition of JeffsSig's fingertip magazine extension a real help in reducing the drama associated with firing the LWS380.  

I would recommend anyone who carries the LWS380, and who has not tried Jeff's top quality (and relatively expensive) fingertip extension give one a try...

For me it was money well spent..

Best Wishes,

Jesse :)

Well spoken, Jesse.  Definitely have to count our blessings!

When all of you have R9's, why is there so much interest in having and carrying a 380?  It seems they are less comfortable to shoot and less effective defensively.  Is it the lighter weight? or just liking to be familiar with different calibers?  the laser on the S&W BG?  the workmanship on the Seecamp .380?  What?

I have just gotten my first R9s and chose it for the 9mm capability.  Am I missing something in regards to the 380s?

For me, it's just liking the Seecamps for what they are.  The recoil of the Seecamp .380 doesn't bother me and I just like it.

I like the Rohrbaughs for what they are.  Each have their own fascination and that's the best I can explain it.

I don't think your missing anything on the 380 Seecamp, they  are less effective than a 9mm and less comfortable to shoot.     The Seecamp 380 is super small and under certain circumstances could be carried when the R9 is too large. I carry my Kahr P380 when I need something lighter and thinner. Also I think many R9 owners had a Seecamp before they got there pup.
   The R9 is the hands down winner as the most effective and concealable pocket pistol to be had.

Here again, I think you have to like the Seecamps for what they are.  Understandably, the Rohrbaugh has the 9mm and you have to like that, for sure.

The Seecamp has it's own flare and not everyone is going to want one, and certainly everyone can't handle the recoil; others just don't like it because it's a .380.  I like it because it's a Seecamp, nothing more.

Thanks for the insight.  I am reassured I made a good decision getting the R9s.  For the time being, the 380s will remain a curiosity to me.  I'll keep in mind, size and weight as I carry the R9s and see if there are situations a smaller or lighter pistol would have an advantage.

You definitely can't go wrong with the Rohrbaugh.  I got the R9 and the Seecamp fairly close to each other; the Seecamp .32 being the first of the Seecamps, then added the Seecamp .380s and the Seecamp .25.  They just grow on you, so to speak, and just like the Rohrbaughs; a few of us have to have more than one.

Looks like CF grips may be on the way.

The grips look very nice. Patterning of CF looks great too.
