To the OP, Ruger LCP. Just why?
The later generations of the Keltec P3AT have proven to be totally reliable.Well, as an early adopter of the LCP, I can tell you why. Back when it was first released, you had two real options for small carry guns. The Keltec and Seecamp .32 and .380 variants. The Keltec were of dubious reliability and was also cheapish and comparatively crude. The Seecamp were relatively expensive and were reportedly unreliable with anything aside from Silvertip ammo, plus had a 2 year waiting list on orders.
In 2008, Ruger released an affordable and reliable .380 (once the recall was resolved). There was a wave of people who could get a gun to carry that was relatively affordable and they had confidence in its quality. A middle ground in easy of carry and firepower between the Glock 26 and the NAA .22 mag revolver. I was one of those, who finally had a gun that was easy enough to carry literally every day.
Now nearly 10 years later, we have a lot more .380 options plus all kinds of compact slim 9mm options (besides the Rorhbaugh and Kahr) out there. But back in 2008, the LCP checked a lot of boxes that other pistols did not.

I don't disagree about lately, but it was a different sentiment entirely back in 2008. For example and also for example. Lost of guns being sent back to Florida for some buffing and polishing to fix FTF and I believe less often of the two, FTE issues. This had a lot of people hot for the LCP back then.
Yep, remember those days. The first gen Ruger LCP had a big recall on their first gen too if I remember right.I don't disagree about lately, but it was a different sentiment entirely back in 2008.
