So, I took my brand new LCP (original, 2nd gen) to the range today and went through 100 rounds of WWB target ammo.
First, the good:
I had multiple FTFs. About one per 6 rd mag load, and sometimes two. Almost ways on the 3rd to 5th round. And when I had an FTF, almost every time I'd fail to feed the subsequent round or two by slingshoting the slide. A typical mag would go bang-bang-click-rack-rack-bang-bang.
I hope this is something that can be easily fixed... I like the little gun but at this point can't rely on it until these kinks are worked out.
First, the good:
- It was significantly easier to shoot than I expected based on all the people complaining about recoil. I shot it both two-handed and one-handed and I could have easily gone through another hundred rounds.
- It is much more accurate than I expected it to be. At 15 ft, I can reliably hit the bullseye (not with every shot) and land most shots in the center of target, one handed. The photo below is my one-hand 15 ft target, with mainly quick mag dumps. I was trying different finger / trigger engagement methods, so I am sure once I get used to it I will tighten my groups. At 25 ft, it's still pretty accurate on a man-sized target. I kind of expected to struggle with it.
- The sights are pretty useful.
