Personally I traded my LCP for an older Smith and Wesson 37 airweight j frame, and think its one of the best decisions Ive ever made. It is a much more shootable gun for me, almost as concealable, and a more powerfull caliber. Pulling the gun from concealment, and firing off a cylinder full is much faster, easier, and more accurate for me. The LCP was a nightmare to shoot fast and accurate. Easy to carry, yes, but not a very good self defense gun, for me anyways. I get the feeling that most LCP owners go to the range, shoot a few mags through it slow and steady range like, and then consider it good to go for ccw. Try shooting that thing in some drills. Or pull it quick and try to be accurate with it it, with that super long 4" travel trigger pull. The LCP is a product of marketing, not functionality.
