i did a google search and boiled it down to the nemesis and the blackhawk size1 nylon holster. i went with the black hawk because it seems like it would give less of an outline and it has a spot that you can modify to carry an extra clip. didnt hurt that it was cheaper too lol. 17 bux shipped on ebay.

easy here! Snappy as in the recoil, .380 in a small frame is a bit snappy. The BodyGuard IMO was a better shooting gun

Springs, look up online. Research on a gun forum first.

Ya know, I'd wondered what Kydex was, kinda figured it was a synthtic or plastic holster. Indeed it is, when I did a quick search. It just looked that way, even in lousy pics on a computer or on my phone.

TXglock, ya I'll look that link over when I get a chance. I like to see what's out there whenever I research somethin, anything, I'm gettin into or thinkin about.

Actually, glocktalk is where I learned some firearm stuff, not even related to Glocks at all. Just cause a person may think a specific brand may not be you (or rather them), there's a wealth of info in places one may not otherwise look. Sometimes one is already lookin cause they're aware of a given site, or info, other times u stumble on it. Then go -->

Thanks again.

I wondered about the Blackhawk, Wal Mart carries them here oddly enough. I stick with my Alabama Holsters now since I don't carry an extra magazine in the pocket with the gun. I always carry spare magazines on the left side of my body because my muscle memory is to reload with my left hand.

By snappy he means the recoil is pretty harsh with the LCP because of it's light weight. Wolff makes recoil springs for the LCP that are like $9 a piece. Swapping to a heavier recoil spring (9lb is stock, Wolff offers them in 11-13lbs) can reduce recoil by slowing the slide down. I don't remember which weight to use offhand, you may want to do some searching to see what people recommend.

im not too worried about recoil. i dont plan to ever shoot this thing for pleasure. it will be my carry weapon, and if it is ever shot just hope you're not on the other side of it.
