| ARTICLE:380 ACP Shoot Out: Ruger LCP Takes On Remington, Rock Island, August 2016 | ||
| Rock Island Armory Baby Rock 51912 380 ACP, $356 | A | Combat shooting gave good results. Accuracy was excellent for a pistol this size. |
| Ruger LCP 3701 380 ACP, $229 | B+ | We would pay more for the LCP Custom, which has better sights and trigger. |
| Remington RM380 Micro 96454 380 ACP, $341 | B | Heavy stacking of the trigger led to poor accuracy. Sight regulation was also badly off. |
| ARTICLE: New 380 ACPs: Ruger’s LCP-C And Taurus Curve Shoot It Out, October 2015 | ||
| Ruger LCP-C Custom No. 3740 380 ACP, $419 | A | The sights and trigger are great improvements over previous versions of the LCP. |
| Taurus Curve 180CRVL #1-180031L 380 ACP, $380 | C | The bottom line is that a pistol without sights isn’t useful, in our opinion. |
| ARTICLE:Hot New Pistols from Kimber And Browning Shoot It Out, September 2015 | ||
| Kimber Micro Carry Advocate Brown 380 ACP, $796 | A- | The Kimber was well finisAhed and demonstrated excellent reliability and accuracy. |
| Browning Black Label 1911-380 051904492 380 ACP, $620 | B | The Browning is a reliable handgun with familiar operation. Less accurate than the smaller Kimber. |
| ARTICLE:A Quartet of Pocket Pistols from SIG Sauer, Glock, Kahr, and Colt, November 2014 | ||
| Glock 42 380 ACP Subcompact Slimline, $480 | B | With a Viridian green laser on it, we’d bump up the grade to an A- and probably buy it. |
| Kahr CW 380 No. 3833 380 ACP, $419 | B | We didn’t like the sights, the short grip, or the long DAO trigger pull. |
| Colt Mustang XSP Pocketlite O6790 380 ACP, $649 | C+ | This costs a lot of money, and there are many pistols that work better for less money. |
| SIG Sauer P238 238-380-NBS12 380 ACP, $710 | C | Its controls should have produced a 1911-like feel, but the inconsistent trigger pull affected accuracy. |
| ARTICLE:Follow-Up: 380 ACP Pocket Pistol With Factory-Fitted Laser, January 2014 | ||
| Ruger LCP-CT 380 ACP, $559 | A- | Ramp-up time was nil, but to fire the pistol without using the laser was a feat. |
| ARTICLE:Follow Up: 380 Pocket Pistols With Factory-Fitted Lasers, September 2013 | ||
| S&W Bodyguard 380 109380 380 ACP, $419 | B | The Bodyguard had the best integrated laser sight of all the models tested, easy to turn on. |
| ARTICLE:Old Against New Pocket Pistol Duel: Mauser HSc vs. Ruger LCP, July 2013 | ||
| Ruger LCP 380 ACP, $379 | B+ | The LCP performed with any ammo we loaded into it. The sights are minimal. |
| ARTICLE:S&W Bodyguards: Revolver Or Semiauto for Self Defense?, June 2013 | ||
| Ruger LC380 No. 3219 380 ACP, $450 | A- | The LC380 offers better ergonomics than many smaller 380s. |
| ARTICLE:Pocket Pistols with Factory Lasers: Walther, SIG, and Ruger, February 2013 | ||
| Ruger LCP-LM No. 3718 380 ACP, $443 | B+ | The LCP-LM was an easily concealed pistol; we couldn’t operate the laser switch with one hand. |
| SIG Sauer P238 Tactical Laser No. 238-380-TL 380 ACP, $829 | B- | 1911 aficionados liked the P238 for its trigger, and laser activation was easy to perform. |
