Nothing like the Glock, Taurus Mil Pro. Or LCP. Very good trigger relative to the others that feel more like one that belongs on a squirt gun.

DANG IT Rob!! (reply)

I talked myself out of a DA-semi because of the triggers.

I talked myself out of a .40, well, because it's a .40.

Now you come along and tell me it's all changed? Man....better start checking the couch cushions...

Rob, if you mean the trigger on the S&W M&P (reply)

Catoosa — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 00:46:15 +0000

you are absolutely right. I have shot Tom's compact and it is sweet. If I needed another 9mm (which I don't, since I already have an even half dozen) I would definitely go for an M&P.

Leather is for REAL pistols not necessary (reply)

Ruger LCP I like it! (reply)

I have been carrying a LCP since they came out , I use the Milt Sparks pocket holster. you still have to clean it every week of all the lint and stuff that gets into your pocket. I love this little gun , I have carryed my Walter ppk and ppks in the pocket before I got the LCP . its the min amount of protection, just above A good knife I feel, the reason I carry the LCP is that It has never failed to shoot with anything that I ran though it .

The TRIGGER is light, like a SA some take up, but a crisp (reply)

SA like break. try one you will be amazed.

To each his own, but that's why I generally do not care for DA-only. They are good as a dedicated close-up defense gun, but my carry guns are more general-purpose. As sure as I stuck a DA-only auto in my pocket, the first thing I'd have to use it on would be a big snapping turtle with just his head stuck up out of my pond. I can manage a shot like that with a single-action trigger, but it's pretty hopeless for me with a DA.

Trust me, I would know you were carrying a steel J-frame (reply)

Anytime one of my relatives who knows I have a carry permit asks why I "carry a pistol", I tell them "Because people look at you funny when you walk in Kroger with a shotgun."

That usually ends the discussion. Probably also one reason some of them consider me a smartass.

I like the Desantis Nemesis - not bulky, stays put (reply)

have a far superior trigger. We have 4 or of the Ruger LCPs and an LC9 in the house, but the S&W trigger is better than all of em out of the box. I have heard that Ruger is making some changes in the LOOOOONG trigger and will be offer retro fits, but all just unconfirmed rumor as of now.

a friend of mine has the Keltec 9 (reply)

stonewalrus — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 00:27:28 +0000

He can't keep it on a sheet of paper at 7 yards. I'd be thinking S&W Shield.

Whoops. Too late... (reply)

I take it all back. The LCP is the best defense gun on the planet ;)

Shoot one first, Charles... (reply)

Sarge — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:46:16 +0000

Everybody except you & me has one already and with your winning ways, you should easily find one to test drive. The reason I suggest this is because the LCP has a pointlessly-long trigger pull and it's all but devoid of sights. If you can hit a coffee can at 25 steps with your little Walther (or a J frame) shooting single action, you may not be impressed with the LCP. I'm not saying it can't be done with an LCP; it's just a hell of a lot more work than it needs to be.

Half my boys had LCP's at one time, but they don't anymore. The 15 & 25 yard stages were straining them at qualifications... but I'm one of those old cranky-asses who still scores targets, instead of just yelling 'PASS!'.

It is a great always gun - you'll forget it's there (reply)

sold it off when Son #1 gave me money for the LCP (reply)

stonewalrus — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:30:57 +0000

I had had it seize up and had to send it back to the factory. They said it just needed cleaned and the "updated" a few parts and sent it back. It was NOT dirty by any stretch. One of the reasons I got the money from son #1 was he insisted I retire it.

Charles — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:15:59 +0000

I have been carrying my PPK in a Kramer pocket holster in my left front pocket for many years and never had an issue or anybody look at me crosswise. I doubt if the LCP will give any problems either.

You are not in trouble in Texas with you CHL as long as you don't flash or expose the gun. If the average guy or gal looking for oatmeal in the supermarket will walk you by without screaming "GUN", you are OK.

It shoots! (reply)

I wish the sights were better, that's where the Kel-Tec has a tiny advantage, the LCP has a "ramp" front, while the Kel-Tec has sort of a micro patridge where at least you can get some paint on it. I owned both briefly and liked/kept the Ruger.
