I think I may have been slapped before for using that exact phrase.

I have an LCP. I carry it on me always. Look into the Crimson Trace laser for it. I have one and love it. You will also want a pocket holster. I have this one:

Ruger LCP Pocket/Wallet Holster

I bought the Crimson Trace laser from these folks at the same time I bought the holster for the LCP w/Crimson. I have been very happy with it. The quality is in line with Milt Sparks holsters. Good stuff.

So far Im liking the holsters from these guys:

You gotta go into the gallery section though to see all their options. Weird Layout.

I wouldn't mind trying one of those front pocket holsters out. Do they make it for an LCP equipped with Crimson Trace? I could not tell from the info on their site.

The little curl over and the top of the holster looks like it might be uncomfortable. I wonder what that is for?

I have one of their holsters with the CT. They profile just like a wallet once they are broken in a bit. My SIG P238 fits in it very nicely as well.
A Desantis Nemesis holster with the extra flap also works well and profiles like a wallet.

Here is another design that is well regarded:
http://www.gunblast.com/Recluse.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

BTW,
The hook design in some of the other holster types is to try to keep the butt end of the pistol straight up in your pocket. It adds an outrigger to "square up" the pistol and keep it from rolling slide down in your pocket.

Note**
I highly recommend you purchase a CT for your LCP. It's light and tiny and adds nothing to the overall thickness or length of the gun.
The LCP's extremely long trigger arc does little to keep you on target. The red dot helps you know where the muzzle is pointed throughout the trigger pull. The LCP sights are practically useless (unlike the Sig P238) anyway (particularly at night). The CT allows for a nice finger rest for your support hand to help stabilize it
