Dad always has this little gun with him... lol. You said you didn't care about being outgunned or whatever, this will usually get you two steps to the door! ;)
He has them in both .17HMR and .22Mag
LCP, for when I absolutely CAN'T hide anything else, but one of my Sig 238's hides almost as well and is a FAR better shooter. My 642 is another real favorite for light weight concealment. I can shoot the 238's better than either.

Whichever one I got on me that gets me off the bottom of the pile and prevents me from having an appointment with the coroner or trauma surgeon. If it's a NAA Mini revolver or a full size custom 1911 doesn't matter as long as I don't have either of those appointments.
That being said, the smallest I normally carry is a five shot, .38 snubnose.
I carry a 642 load with 5 +p rounds a lot. I have carried a LCR too. I am not a big fan of the LRC, it's to small for my hand, my grip becomes to fingers. as the pinkie just hangs in the air. I don't shot the LRC as well as I do the S&W. I think of my 642 as my formal dress up carry. I normally carry a 3" j frame or a 1911. I will drop the LRC in my pocket if I am making a quick trip to the store.
Kahr PM9 or CM9 in 9mm.
The TCP is a reliable and affordable choice. Best overall value in gun guide for a .380 pistol.
Two is one, one is none
Ick. The extra 50 bucks is best spent on an LCP or same money spent on a P3AT. I've had too many issues with Taurus firearms to trust my life to one.
That said I'll probably ditch the LCP when/if Smith releases a version of the shield w/o a safety. Or I buy a Kahr...
It's best to blame my misspelled words on autocorrect.
Depends on what you've owned. The older stuff, yeah it has proven to be unreliable. The newer stuff, within the last 10 years, is fine. That includes the TCP. I don't know where you live but the TCP and LCP are the same price and I chose the TCP based on research. The first gen LCP had the potential to go off if dropped and was recalled for a fix. No issues out of the Taurus. I own one in .380 and haven't had a single ftf/fte. I'm speaking out of real world experience. Give one a try. You may change your mind.
Two is one, one is none
