Do not get a LCP 380 they are cute and pack a punch for the one shot you get before they jump backwards. The only firearm I have ever owned (since I have been an adult) that I got rid of.
LCP and LCP II are really sold under misconceptions of use and improper marketing in my opinions.. I believe it is MEANT to be a reserve or B.U.G. [back up gun] for C.Q.B. purposes of defensive needs and or last chance, "life threatening" defensive purpose solely. And although I understand your position was not for such, I do not believe its intent was or should be considered for any level of real offensive measures. I hope I am stating that right. lol
The fact that the original LCP 380 is stated and always reviewed to have awful sighting measures for what should already tell you it wasn't meant to be used for aiming so much as a life saving tool to get someone off the top of you or away depending on the scenario being played out. The sights are there simply for effectiveness of IF you had to aim it at all. Which brings me to believe the long pull trigger also fits parallel into these thoughts.
Where the LCP 380 shine is its size, low printing detection, and the fact it is chambered in 380 ACP. Its purely setup for last ditch efforts of defensive posturing whether in a personal or official capacities not defending your home with or picking off the local stop-N-rob liqueur store.
For my woman, it works great as something she can carry at work where there is no specific policy's towards refraining of open or concealed carry but.... with today's media coverage people are apathetic and put off by the sight and therefore for the sake of keeping things "comfy & safe space" like, and does so with her concealed carry permit.
Otherwise I am getting her used to my Glock 23 still chambered in .40 Cal until I get another slide and barrel to go back and forth to 9mm. Hence the reason why I am building a couple of them from 80% lowers/frames for multiple purposes... Two will be identical in every way.
