[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2753459, member: 7815"] I now have about 500 rounds through the LCP. Half a case! Well, in the real world, more than many pocket pistols will ever see. The LCP is not the most refined, but it remains super concealable and super reliable. I give Ruger big respect for this level of reliability in a tiny, sub-$350 gun. That has to have been a deliberate engineering focus when they decided to revamp the Kel-Tec design. Recently saw this review online. This guy hits a lot of the same points I would: [url]http://www.gunnuts.net/2015/05/28/rule-one-gun-roundup-ruger-lcp/[/url] Unlike him I have the updated post-2013 model and I am correspondingly more satisfied. Some folks were discussing limp wristing. I deliberately did one hand and weak hand shooting with my LCP to test this. It had no hiccups. To pick a relevant comparison, it is [U]much[/U] less sensitive to limp wristing than the Glock 42. (I like the G42 but you gotta remember to squeeze the life outta that thing. Especially when shooting one handed.) For carrying the LCP I favor the cheap, widely available DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. The LCP likes ammo with Hornady XTP hollowpoints and shoots them very accurately. Speer Gold Dots also run 100% and are wicked accurate -- however, GD's are not my favorite defense bullet for .380. They will expand but penetration can lag. [/QUOTE]
