Although I like the idea of an easily accessed "pocket" pistol, I have had a few "feed" problems with my 2 month old LCP using the high performance "personal defense" specialty loads like Speer Gold Dot, Corbon, and Hornady Tactical. I traced this to a weak magazine spring and poor manufacturing tolerances of the magazine follower to the inside of the magazine. I have approached Wolf Gunsprings to interest them in this huge market. Wolf does sell a stronger recoil spring, but as yet no magazine springs. At this point, I would NOT TRUST MY LIFE TO THIS FIREARM.

Recoil is crisp, but easily managed. Adding a stronger aftermarket recoil spring helps (Wolf Gunsprings).

Groupings are surprisingly good at 10 feet (3 inch) in good light. Hard to pick up sight in low light.

Some magazines have poor tolerance control of follower to the magazine, leading to mis-feeding of some of the high performance "personal defense" ammunition.

Consider laser sight for low light (most) potential encounters.
