I put a couple of boxes through my old style LCP today so my hand is a bit sore. It still shoots all manner of FMJ & self defense rounds absent a single hiccup, and is accurate out to 10 yards shooting one hand, two hands & weak hand. I sold my LCP Max to a friend b/c I found myself still carrying the old style b/c it’s thinner & lighter in a pocket holster, and I’m a bit lazy when it comes to carrying anything else. I’ve owned this mouse gun about ten years, 400 + rounds of FMJ & HP and never a malfunction of any kind. Other brands were finicky, not good in a self defense tool, so I consider myself lucky.

I often carry the gun the LCP was copied from.
Keltec P3AT.
In my experience, all your comments about your LCP also apply to my P3AT.

I am in the point-n-shoot camp. I have owned my sightless wonder for 11 years
No complaints..

I have an old LCP as well... and a Taurus TCP... the Taurus has a better trigger... so the Ruger gathers dust...

Has it been that long that there's such a thing as an "old" LCP? An old Model 39, maybe. An old Chief Special.

I have had LCP, LCP II and LCP Max. Like them all. Dead nuts reliable. Accurate? Different accuracy standard at social ranges.
Just curious, which one do you like better? I had the MAX but found myself carrying the original as an EDC.

Well, it's 16 years old. Young for humans, just right for red wine, too old for milk.
Count me in the P3AT camp though I have never shot the Ruger version. My Kel-Tec made a lot of motorcycle miles as it lay flat in my picket when my feet were on the highway pegs. Has always been reliable.
Just an FYI: I had a TCP but got rid of it due to a false reset problem w/the trigger. As long as you’re aware & train around it no problem, just a heads-up.
Rarely carry my LCP Max any more. Crime is rampant here and no longer confined to the big city.
So I carry something with a little more pop and better sight radius.

I've been carrying an LCP since 2019 and its always in my pocket, it has even taken a few dips over the years because I forgot it was there.
Granted, it mostly serves as a BUG whenever I go out to one of my subcompacts, but when I'm at home, it's just the LCP in my pocket all the time.

I hope y'all are aware that there are at least two variants of the original LCP. The first was a pretty solid copy of the P3AT. The second (or Mk1.5 as I call it) introduced more hammer pre-cock leading to a better trigger. I believe the sights are a little better, too.
The LCP II brought us the trigger dingus as the hammer was now pretty much completely cocked.

I have one of the Original LCP's Talo Edition with Hard Chromed Slide (Looks almost like Stainless) Had always been super relaiable FMJ or Hydra Shock's,Don't carry it much any more it was replaced as far as daily carry by a Glock 42
The old LCP. Interesting gun. My wife still carries the original LCP, most of the time. It is probably 15 years old. It is one of few guns that she can conceal effectively. It is proven reliable.
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.

Well good for you that you actually shoot the darn thing, and not just carry it or put it on the table next to the couch.
The old "original" LCP. It's perfect for what it was intended for...up close and personal.
