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. |
As an owner, my experience has been different. I have a couple LCP Gen 2's with the stainless slide. I use one as a range gun and one for everyday pocket carry.
Normally I shoot a Glock or S&W revolver at the range, but once a month I pull the carry LCP out of my pocket and put a dozen rounds through it to make sure it's working. Then I put 100 through the range LCP firing a regular course of fire I practice with. I haven't been counting religiously, but I've got somewhere between 1,500 to 2,000 rounds through the range LCP. I haven't had a malfunction yet with either the carry LCP or the range LCP. You never know what the future holds, but so far so good.
