The Ruger LCP Compact is an ultra-compact .380 ACP pistol with a 2.75-inch barrel and a 5.16-inch overall length. Its glass-filled nylon frame keeps the empty pistol at 9.4 ounces, and it holds 6+1 rounds with one magazine included. Fixed standard sights, an internal trigger safety and no external manual safety keep the controls simple on a small carry gun.

Its slim profile and light weight suit everyday concealed carry or a backup pistol that stays out of the way on the belt. Handgun buyers must be 21 or older to take possession through a dealer. Check your state's permit, waiting period and roster rules before you buy, because some states add requirements at pickup. The single included magazine is worth remembering when you plan range time.
