Ubik380,

If giving Seecamps as gifts makes you happy may I suggest that Christmas is coming and that I'd be very grateful.

Please just PM me and let me know where I should have an FFL sent.

Thank you in advance!

Dick

I pretty much limit carry now to pocketing my R9S or my Seecamp .32. I have a Seecamp .380 on order and it will replace my Seecamp .32 when it arrives.

Dave, Sandi doesn't know as of the other day when she will be able to ship me some. Just hang in there, we'll get them.

Guys - besides my two R9s - I hate to admit this but I have four LWS.32s (1 CA edition, rest regular). Have a LWS.380 on order from Tom Watson that I am highly looking forward to.

You're my man Tom - if anyone can break Sandi down you can - just kidding - she is a wonderful person.

I either carry the R9 or the Seecamp - alot depends on what pants I'm wearing.

Tom,
I hope Sandi sends a bunch to you.

I have a Seecamp .380 which I acquired six or seven months ago. I guess I was lucky, as I was browsing Gunbroker, found a nib one, and bought it for a very good price. Had been looking for one for all of two days.

Didn't shoot it for a while, but when I did I had no malfunctions with Hydra Shok ammo. I did get the devil beat out of my trigger finger, but not quite as much as I do with my R9.

Anyway, I posted a brief comparison a while back, but to reiterate, I really like the Seecamp. So much so that I just got a new .32

These little guns are just so well made and ooz quality. A real pleasure just to hold. The Seecamp is definitely easier to take down and reassemble than the R9.

Now, as far as the .380 Seecamp vs the R9, it is a difficult comparison. The Seecamp is somewhat smaller and easier to carry in a front pocket holster. The R9 is chambered for the 9mm luger. I will be receiving a pocket holster for my R9 from RJ Hedley soon, so will see how the package works for me.

I feel that both are really fine pistols.

Edited - I just got the R9 out of the safe and compared it to my Seecamp .380, and there is actually less difference in size than I originally recalled. The Seecamp still feels like a better quality pistol, but not by a whole lot. Just the fit and all stainless construction make it feel like a little jewel.

I just saw a seecamp .380 at a local gun shop for

$1000+

. I knew this gun would be a bit pricey and that this place is a bit high on their prices in the first place, but wow! Is this what the seecamps are going for?

Brenden · « **Reply #26 on:** March 01, 2006, 07:44:12 PM »

Retail is 800.00 ballpark if I remember correctly...

As anything else-It's what yer willing to pay I guess..

I am in the process of ordering a Custom Ser. # LWS .380 thru the factory..

I did say earlier that I WANTED one!!

I also have a couple of the LWS .32s..

Pups and Seecamps..The "addiction" continues...

Perhaps I was fortunate to come upon the liststing for the LWS 380 when I did, but it was on Gunbroker, and the buy now price was $750.00. I bought the gun face to face with the seller. It was new and completely sealed in the box. The gun was on the auction site for several days before I purchased it. These are the kind of deals that I only hear about. I am glad that I finally got one.

There was a LWS.380 at a gunshop in Janauary that I was given a heads up on. I have one on order from Tom Watson and figured two would be nice. When I called the shop they said it has been sitting there for three months for $750 and no takers. Well I road two hours to get there and someone walked in and bought it before I got there. Thats ok - I still have Tom.

I remember when Seecamp LWS .32s where in demand and had a two year wait. There was some dealers who were trying there best to blow up the price way over retail. When I see a price way over what I consider a good profit my business there stops.

I thought that price seemed excessive, but that shop is known to overprice their firearms. I guess I should take a look at a seecamp one of these days, as I have never actually handled one. They do look nice though.
