I absolutely LOVE the LCP. It's so tiny and disappears so easily into a front pants pocket that I no longer have any excuse to ever leave the house without packing. I carry it in a desantis nemesis pocket holster.
As for the gun itself, it's definitely a bit snappy, but that's to be expected from a medium-powered load out of a handgun that small and light. It's still not so snappy that it's painful to practice with, not like a 2" barreled unobtanium .357 or something.
It's also more accurate than I am. I can put together about a 3" group at 5 yrds, which is pretty much the range the gun was intended to be used at. It's also never had a single malfunction of any kind. I've run a few different types of JHPs through it, along with plenty of ball and flat nose ammo and it gobbles it all right up and spits the empties out with a purpose.
My only real complaint is the integral sights that are basically useless for anything less than bullseye shooting in broad daylight. For this reason when I practice with it I mostly practice point shooting. There's just no way you'll have time to find and align the sights at the distances this gun might be used in. Fortunately it's very "pointable" and after some practice I can now get good hits even in the dark with no use of the sights at all. I plan on eventually solving this problem completely with a crimson trace laser.
All in all, I would highly recommend it. Only thing that sucks is .380 ACP is so hard to find right now.
