I bought an LCP a bit over a year ago. It has proved reliable. I haven't shot hundreds of rounds through it but the couple of hundred I have fired have all been without problems, after the first magazine or two to break it in some. I carry it most days as a BUG and a primary at times. I use a DeSantis pocket holster. I DO keep it clean and field strip it and clean and lube it weekly. I have observed that many people take pocket a pistol out of the pocket and toss it on the dresser or in a drawer and ignore it until it goes back into the pocket. They get treated like keys or a wallet. Small pistols are more sensitive to lack of lubrication and poor maintenance. I have been pleased with mine.
