[QUOTE="trbii, post: 1189033, member: 2449"] My wife said she would carry more often if she had small gun. So I bought a LCP a couple years ago. She does'nt carry it often either. I found its reliability to be maybe 65-85% after about 300 rds fired down range. Three different brands/type of .380 ACP ammo. Also found the recoil to be quite sharp during a 50-100 round firing session. Not comfortable but tolerable for experienced pistoleros. Too much for the wifes' arthritic hands. Pistol she shoots best is her Browning HP. I was disappointed to never get thru a shooting session with our LCP without multiple failure to feeds. Usually remedied by grasping the rear of the slide and pulling sharply to the rear, letting it slip out of your thumb and finger and run forward into battery. Cleaned and lubed it according to the manuals' directions. Going by my experience, I could'nt trust it to fire, feed and continue to function without time consuming malfunction clearing procedures. I'm spoiled by the functioning reliability of my Glock 19. [/QUOTE]
