LCP II does lock back on an empty mag, but even with the standard LCP, its a training issue. Its also a matter of purpose.
Better send that one back for repairs!I measured it using my Lyman Digital Trigger gauge.
Nope, not even close to a necessary feature.Am I in the minority on not caring about this?
If I am concerned about a round not going bang the first time, I'm going to buy better ammo!It is not a true Double Action pistol and has no second strike capability
You must have gotten one of the very few bad ones. Mine runs fine on everything I've put through it.It has been the most ammo sensitive of all the pocket pistols I own
Accuracy is subjective, and relative to the shooter. Mine is well capable of repeated center mass, and even head shots @10 yards.It is the least accurate of the pocket pistols I own
So difficult to pop out a pin, and pull the slide off.The take down field strip procedure is the most difficult of the pocket pistols I own
Probably the most curious comment you made. Next to the take down one. Did you buy it new, or did you get a used one that somebody "improved" on their kitchen table?It has by far the lowest (and in my opinion too low) trigger pull of any of my pocket pistols

but it does not change or invalidate any of the facts I pointed out.
Nope..and gotta remember, my LCP was about $175, new...no such thing as a free lunch BUT..glad I got rid of it..MUCH happier with G42 with 'ClipDraw' and trigger shield..into the pocket it goes often..Am I in the minority on not caring about this?
Locking back helps to confirm an empty magazine and can facilitate faster turn-around on a mag change. That's nice but it doesn't strike me as crucial for a tiny CCW. I look to this class of firearm when carry space is at a super premium. At that kind of premium, chances are that I'm not carrying a spare magazine anyway. In fact, having fewer features or controls can have value in that kind of gun.
Your conclusions are different than mine. All of your premises must be flawed either because of your incompetence, laziness, or because you have an abnormally bad sample. We will not discuss that your sample size of 1 (or a couple) is as equally valid as my sample size of 1 (or a couple) because my particular samples support my conclusions.
The defense (and attack) of firearm other than the one "we" have decided to is best suited to ourselves reached ridiculous heights and that does not even get into the discussion of calibers. All people who bought a Glock of any type must simply be lemmings incapable of independent thought - just ask "anyone" who owns anything else
Attempts to misrepresent what I say do not change the actual content of what I post.
By "latest iteration" do you mean LCP II?Bought new and it is the latest iteration of the LCP.
If it is not an LCP II your "facts" are mostly invalidated by the multitude of people who own an LCP who like them or not are scratching their heads. Especially the trigger pull, which on the LCP (not LCP II) is in no way too light. Or the take down which is not complicated at all.but it does not change or invalidate any of the facts I pointed out.

That could explain the light trigger.

... being a semi-auto, it is not any good for shooting from within a pocket.
Obviously with a flawed guage. There is no way a LCP, or LCP Custom has that light of a trigger pull.No one's opinion can invalidate facts like what I measured the trigger pull
https://www.personaldefenseworld.com/2014/12/look-custom-galloway-ruger-lcp-380/There are no manual safeties and the trigger is DAO with a short 0.5 inches of travel and a substantial 6-pound trigger pull.
https://www.personaldefenseworld.com/2015/10/gun-review-rugers-new-lcp-custom/First, there are no manual safeties to remember, and the DAO trigger has a short 0.5-inch length of travel countered by a solid 6.5-pound average trigger pull.

https://www.lymanproducts.com/electronic-digital-trigger-pull-gaugeLyman’s revolutionary Digital Trigger Pull Gauge is designed to be the fastest and most accurate trigger pull gauge available. The state-of-the-art strain gauge technology allows for accuracy of 1/10 ounce/2 grams. The gauge will read to a maximum 12lb/5.4kg and features a large, easy-to-read LCD display.
It's still an average of three pounds three ounces.https://www.convertunits.com/from/lbs/to/kg

Now, set your little digital toy to lb instead of kg, and tell us how "too light" that 6 to 6 1/2 pound trigger is!
Wow, Common Core math. The average of 6.0 and 6.5= 3lb 3ozIt's still an average of three pounds three ounces.
Not really, rather the reality of the LCP I happen to own. Once again, here is the table I provided before.Wow, Common Core math. The average of 6.0 and 6.5= 3lb 3oz
Yet it seems to work for other handguns. All of the measurements were taken in the same way over about two days. Each case was ten iterations. Then the tool itself did the averaging.If your Sig P230 only measures 4 pound in DA, I would agree that maybe there is something wrong with your scale. Mine is closer to the 9 pound range.
