Welcome to the world of Seecamp, where pocket carry meets pure, no-nonsense reliability. These guns aren’t brand-new, but they’re so iconic and so compact that we had to stop and take a look.
Seecamp offers two models on the table: the LWS 32, chambered in .32 ACP, and the LWS 380, chambered in .380 ACP. Both guns are true double-action-only (DAO) designs with a 2-inch barrel, stainless steel construction, and ultra-slim profiles made for deep concealment.
Even in such a small package, Seecamp managed to squeeze in 6+1 capacity. That’s right—six rounds in the mag plus one in the pipe. For a pistol that weighs just about 13 ounces fully loaded, that’s seriously impressive.

There are no traditional sights. Instead, you aim right down the top of the slide and barrel. Rack the slide and work the DAO trigger, and you’ll find it’s smoother and more manageable than you’d expect from a pistol this size.
The LWS 32 and LWS 380 share nearly identical dimensions:
- 4.25″ long
- 3.25″ high
- Only about .725″ wide across the slide
- Lightweight and rock-solid stainless steel frames
MSRP starts at $579 for the LWS 32 and $665 for the LWS 380, with Cerakote options available for a bit more. California-compliant editions are available for the LWS 32.
Seecamp’s reputation was built on delivering serious defensive performance in the smallest package possible—and even today, these pistols still stand alone for what they offer.
If you’re looking for a pocket pistol—something truly invisible until you need it—you owe it to yourself to check out the Seecamp lineup.

I carried an older LWS-32 for quite a few years while I lived in a restrictive state. Great little pistol.
I’ve never owned a Seecamp.That must be corrected!
I am curious– why not a .22LR option?
.22LR reliability issues, I presume.
Considering that there are a huge selection of very, very reliable 22LR pistols– that just does not fly as an answer.
That is the size, shape, weight, and price range for a small twenty two for pest control– barnyard or bad alley– and would hold more rounds than the centerfire version. It would be a good thing to ask when something new is in the process of being introduced– why are the option limits imposed?

Seecamp dates back to 1973. Kel-tec P32 only appeared in 1999, 26 years later. I own a .32 ACP Seecamp and I owned a Kel-tec P32 which I traded for the Kel-tec P-3AT (.380 ACP). When I travel, the Seecamp rides in a Bear Creek wallet holster in a pocket all day every day. The only pistol I’ve been able to do that with for a week at a time. The exception is the P-3AT did ride with me in my riding jacket map pocket on motorcycle trips up to two weeks at a time. In my opinion however, the stainless steel Seecamp is the Tiffany’s of pocket pistols.
KEL-TEC’s P32 weighs only 6 ounces. Stay safe. j
Yet another Keltec clone, except my Keltec is much lighter and less expensive!
