Anyone have an LCP???

[H Richard]

Have had one about a year. Mine went back fo rthe recall, and no change in the trigger pull. Still excellent. It has been 100% reliable (which many KT owners can't say), and the accuracy is excellent. It is so small and light that even fully loaded you forget you have in with you. I'm very pleased, and it is one that I will carry.

Quote.... Kel-Tec P3AT which was copied from the Grendel P-10..

You forgot to mention that both guns where (are) made by the same person.

If I didn't already have the P3AT, I'd be wanting one.

Does anyone feel like they're a little "light" in the self defense area with a 380, especially considering the limited distance of the short barrelled Rugers and Keltecs?
I consider a 380 a good backup cartridge, but minimum 38 special for SD.

What's not to like? Mine was reasonably price, functions great, is light, is accurate and doesn't jam.

Mike, agree wholeheartly but as others have said ya will carry it. With short range confrontations I would also consider it as more of a "get off me gun" and a good choice as a BUG to my M&P 9c.

I have one. Easiest gun to carry that I have. I liked it so much I bought the wife one.

Width:

J-frame = 1.25"

LCP = .82"
P-3AT = .77"

That's it right there, one of the key defining dimensions of a true pocket pistol in my opinion.

As much as I love my 340PD and 642, they are 'thick', there is no two ways around it. And yes, I use quality pocket holsters. They create the dreaded 'thigh lump' with most pants I wear or the 'growth-out-the-side-of-the-leg syndrome' with looser fit pants. Or somewhere in between. Some pocket holsters will level out the lump somewhat but that just makes a lump into a brick.

Caje, buy one - mine just disappears in the waistband with the pocket-clip for the P3AT on it.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Erich if you say buy it-that's good enough for me.
