This mirrors my experience exactly.
- Because they're small, people buy them for concealed carry.
- Because they're anemic, the recoil spring is light which makes them easy to rack so, lots of women get them.
- Because I'm a CCW instructor, I see them a lot.
I have yet to see one make it through my class without a malfunction. This is sad because the shooting portion of my class is only 35 rounds. ANY gun should be able to go 35 rounds without a malfunction. But the .380Auto doesn't seem to make muster.
The LCP is the worst of the bunch. Terrible trigger and mediocre to horrible accuracy. This is probably due to the fact that it has only a suggestion of sights. Some people call it a belly gun. Well, if you stick it in someone's belly, it won't fire because the slide will likely be pushed out of battery. So it's really a 2' gun.
I would take any revolver over the .380Auto.
