Ordered a Seecamp last night.

[RSKY]

I have wanted one of these for years after looking at a used one at a gun store. BUT the price was too high for a used one, if it could be found, and they had a three year backorder on the new ones. I don't remember what the price was for that used one back in the early 2000's but it was higher than any new pistol in the store.

A few months ago I discovered that Bud's online store had these little autos for less than $500 for a 32ACP. Unfortunately there was no approved 32ACP ammunition available. Yep, the little pistol will only function with hollowpoint ammo that doesn't excede a certain lenght. Really wanted the 380 but after reading reviews about putting bandaids on hand and thumb before practicing with it I decided to add another ammo to my collection. I waited until I could also get some PMC Bronze 32ACP hollowpoints before ordering the pistol.

Also ordered a Sticky holster and the little gun will reside in my right front pocket once it is broken in. I want something to carry that is nearly invisible and this little jewel could possibly be it. No sights, nothing to snag, strictly point and shoot at 'Bad Breath Range".

Anybody else have one of these.

I have one, I can't even recall how long now but not too long after it came out in .380. They're beautifully made, I've only shot it a few times though.

Nothing against Seecamp, they were the first to make a true pocket pistol, but there are so many on the market now, most in 380. I own a Ruger LCP in 380, I can’t say it’s fun to shoot but it’s not bad. That said I’d love to have a 380 Seecamp.

I have a Ruger LCP in a wallet holster that I sometimes carry. But for front pocket carry the trigger is exposed and you know Mr Murphy. Also tried carrying it in a Sticky holster and it made itself known every time I sat down. Hopefully the Seecamp will improve on that.

Ruger's LCP is a nice small pocket pistol but not nearly as small as a Seecamp. L.W. Seecamp Co. - Relative Size Comparison Photos

I like my SigSauer p-938. A really concealable 9mm. It also is well mannered, accurate, and fun to shoot (unlike most small pistols).

 

[dodge man]

I’m surprised a Seecamp is smaller than a LCP. Is that a 32 Seecamp?

The Beretta 3032 Tomcat is a better conceal gun all around and less expensive. The side rail issues that plagued the Tomcat are silly, even for the first gen. These only failed if you were using super hot loads that would also blow up a Seecamp. Ran 5,000 rounds through mine of factory ammo and zero problems with all sorts of 32 ammo. Seecamps are more jewerly than any thing else and only work with one type of ammo to feed correctly.

That’s why I like my SigSauer. They always work.

I always wanted a .32 and the Tomcat was the best choice.

The .25, .32 and .380 Seecamp are basically the same size other than loaded weight.

I had a Beretta Tomcat, it is a bit shorter, same height, but 1/3 thicker than an LCP which makes it not as concealable IMO. Seecamp is much smaller and lighter than both of them. Seecamp recommends 5 different ammo for the .380. But I certainly wouldn't want to shoot 500 rounds through a Seecamp .380, much less 5,000!

The Seecamp is intended for a different purpose. That is to have a usable weapon that can be carried with nobody realizing you have a firearm on you. It is much smaller than a Ruger LCP or Keltec.

Yes. Wanted the 380 but $100 more and supposed to be brutal to shoot. Though if the adrenalin was flowing you probably would not notice.

The SigSauer p-938 is very concealable and even small is the p-238 in .380 caliber. Check it out.

I always assumed a Seecamp was heavier than something like an LCP. Aren’t the Seecamps all steel? I’m speaking from ignorance since I don’t know the answer.

 

[dodge man]

I just looked up the specs, an LCP weighs a couple of ounces less, not a big difference.

Bought a LCPII in .380 last year for $229 at Bass Pro. Ammo was scarce but I ordered and got a few boxes of Hornady Critical Defense before I bought the weapon.

Also picked up a box of winchester at BP and later got some Herters Target at a country fertilizer store.

Seems okay but it already stopped locking open after the last round. Ruger wanted me to send it in with no guarantees it would be a free fix so I didn't think it was worth it to send in. Whatever the cause it does it with all 3 mags.

I also lucked up on a Veridian red lazer sight with a nice leather pocket holster. Lazer automatically turns on and off when it's drawn or holstered. $60 off eBay, brand new in the box. Fits nicely in the back pocket.
