My wife has an LCP w/ Crimson Trace laser. She was not to comfortable with the amount of recoil. Also, when she would fire it, it would rub on her finger and would almost cause a blister. She did not like that at all. Maybe it was something she was doing wrong. Went and bought a 9mm Shield. Very comfortable with it. Has good sights and not as much recoil. This now is her EDC gun. The LCP is now for fun when we get it out.
