The Ruger LCP has been a very popular .380 ACP handgun for concealed carry and back-up. Finding holsters for any new firearm can be tricky, but many options are now available for the Ruger LCP pistol. Here are a few:
RKBA Holsters makes an excellent pocket holster for the Ruger LCP. I have puchased several of the RKBA holsters in the past and have found all of them to be of very high quality, yet very reasonably priced. These full leather, handcrafted holsters are only $30.00.
Galco is making a Ruger LCP paddle holster called the M5X Matrix. The Matrix uses injection-molded thermoplastic to make a Kydex-like holster that is very durable and easy to keep clean. Galco sells the paddle holster for $29.00.
CrossBreed Holsters is making a special version of the SuperTuck holster, called the MiniTuck, for the Ruger LCP. The MiniTuck uses a combination of leather and Kydex to produce a LCP holster that is carried inside the waistband, but also allows the wearer to tuck his or her shirt in. The MiniTuck sells for $65.50.
DeSantis Holster and Leather Goods is making an unusual form of IWB holster for the Ruger LCP. Called the Pop-Up, the holster allows the LCP to be carried below the belt line so a shirt may be tucked in and the gun remains out of view. To draw the Ruger, the wearer pushes up on the end of the LCP, causing it to “pop” above the belt line and be drawn. The Pop-Up sells for $44.00.

Remember, reducing the “bulge” printing through clothing is of primary importance.
An IWB holster where the clips or belt loops are fore and aft of the holster itself is ideal, in my opinion, even for a slim compact like the LCP.
