When the LCP first came on the market I replaced the P3AT that I been fussing over with a LCP and the same week my brother bought one, both of these little Rugers have been flawless for an astonishing amount of rounds, both still have their original recoil springs. My brother is a natural crack shot and once at a bowling pin shoot we frequent, he shot a sub 5sec table of pins with his,the whole place jaw dropped. These little pistols are more accurate than most will ever know.
