LCP is a nice little gun, but my vote goes for one you didn't mention sorry. The Springfield XD-S is an awesome little carry piece, it's a .45 and the same size as an LCP.

Um, no, it isn't.

The XD-S is a bit over an inch longer than the LCP, weighs 3 times as much empty, I believe is a half inch taller, and is obviously considerably thicker than the LCP.

The XD-S is more on the size of a LC9, but thicker and about twice as heavy.

Not saying it's not a very tiny pistol (recoil is pretty sharp), and I'm definitely not saying it's not an awesome piece, but the same size as an LCP? Not hardly.

i have the bodygaurd and mine is fantastic. Early models had some issues but it was corrected. Mine hasn't missed a beat. Its easy to carry, very low recoil as well. its more comfortable in my hand than the LCP.
