Concealed Handgun Holster for Ruger LCP-380

any holster that holds an extra magazine is going to be bulkier that what you have now.

I have the exact same holster.

I do too. It stays in my closet. For some reason, the gun won't stay in it. I carry either in my pocket (usually in dress pants if i'm carrying one this small) or OWB fobus paddle hoster (pretty small and can't tell it's under a t shirt or untucked polo)

What is the OB opinion of concealed holsters made by Urban Carry?

IF I carried a .380 - it would be a LCP or Walther and it would be pocket carried - almost certainly in one of the Desantis or Galco pocket holsters.

Carry the spare mag in another pocket.

Solid advice.^^^^

I carry a Kel-Tec P3AT (nearly exact same dimensions as the Ruger LCP) in a front pocket holster when clothing prevents me from carrying a 9mm or 45 ACP. I don't see a reason to carry a 380 on a belt. If you're going to carry IWB, you might as well get a slightly bigger gun that's chambered in 9mm. To me, the 380 is meant for pocket carry when one can't carry something bigger. The synthetics mentioned above are very functional, but if you want something nicer, I can recommend Bear Creek Holsters. I was satisfied w/ the turnaround, quality and price of the holster they made for my Kel-Tec PF9.

If you get a pocket holster, by ALL means, get one that PROTECTS the trigger and the muzzle. Pocket carry is convenient, but it's potentially unsafe if the trigger and muzzle are not protected. You don't want lint and other foreign bodies getting in your gun, especially the muzzle or trigger.In addition, don't carry anything else in the pocket other than your holster gun.

would never carry with this holster because the trigger is exposed. It's a recipe for disaster.

How is this a recipe for disaster when it's the only thing in your pocket and with such a long trigger pull?

Because every single quality holster on market covers the trigger. Even one of the commandments of gun safety pertains directly to the most important part of a firearm. You should always respect the trigger.

Feel free to carry in your own preferred manner but don't be surprised if Murphy drops one of his laws on you. I see a lot of other downsides to that holster besides just the exposed trigger.

I don't use a holster with mine. I bought the clip draw meant for the Kel Tec of the same size and installed it on the LCP. All of my pockets are different. Jeans it would be too tight. Dress pants pockets are usually too deep. Khakis and shorts are the same, but a tad tighter than the dress pants. Whenever I carry the LCP it is at 2:00 with the clip under my belt. It allows the back of the slide and the grip to sit down below the waistline of the pants and I can draw it much more quickly than from a pocket.
