IIRC, The original LCP did have a slightly modified second version prior to the LCP II.

I believe the first LCP had a dash in the serial number
and the modified variation did not.
We have that one and it's carried without the laser
so it fits in my ankle holster when that's the only option.
Laser is great for point and shoot practice, with no ammo,
and then it's removed.
