Well not really 200 bucks, i just based it around that because the lcp is 220 around here and i trust it so i wouldnt buy something for 300 not knowing a lot about it, this isnt a required purchase and I can wait, just didnt want to since the wife is interested in her ccdw and its taken me 2 years to get her there. Kinda afraid if i wait she might decide that 75 dollars needs to be spent somewhere else ya know. I asked about the db9 because the last time i looked at it, they were selling around 300, i know a little bit back the Ruger lcp and taurus tcp both got reduced in price by close to 100 dollars, both of which are good guns (+1 to the lcp though) and I thought that maybe Diamondback followed suit, especially in lite of Trump taking office soon and being more gun friendly then the last US President. Its no issue, I mean i like the Keltec looks wise but this isnt a girlfriend or a trophy so im not about showing off. One of the things i love about the lcp is its looks, rather its non flashy, doesnt draw attention and just sits in my back pocket in my Desantis holster quietly waiting in case I ever need it. I like small pistols like the lcp because it means i carry them much more often, the lcp is on me all the time. I pocket carry most of the time but do have a IWB holster for it and carry that way if im in dress pants or shorts (unless they are cargo).
As for the LCP II, YESSSSSS I would love to have that gun, unfortunately it sells for around 300 and is a bit out of my price range right now. Im not one to have 15 different handguns to carry, I dont have caliber hangups and have carried a Phoenix Arms 22lr before working back on a mountain as a security guard. Mind you I dont carry 22lr unless i have to, however 380 is fine, I dont fall into that .45 or better category of thought. Will a 380 work everytime, no, neither will a 357, but for me the trade off of having something light and easy to carry means I have it, so is a 380 in the pocket better then a 40sw at home? Thats my carry mentality, im not looking to take on special forces or the next terminator, im looking to make sure my wife and kids are safe if something was to ever happen that was completely out of control and I had to defend us right there on the spot.
I avoid places that I think are problem areas, dont go to bars, clubs or anything like that. Our area is more country then city but I do frequent a larger city due to family medical visits. I try my best to pay attention to my surroundings and watch other peoples body language and if i think somethings off, im outta there, ill find law enforcement if possible or head for someplace indoors.
Sorry long winded there, anyway im not pushing for anything, just asking for opinions on those guns, db9 is out, done, gone, never gonna buy it. Keltec dont know, might buy it or might just stick with my lcp.....at least its not a Cobra 380
Almost forgot to address the price the LCP is 220 pre tax, no ffl or background charge in KY so 233.20 out the door, ordering online however does incur fees, the ffls in this area seem to punish people for buying online most charge 50.00 to 75.00 to receive an ordered gun from online like buds gun shop so it makes those prices kinda null and just as easy to buy locally, though I am planning to just drive to Lexington Ky and check out buds in person, its only a couple hour drive from me, not sure if their online prices are the same in store or not.
