This is the confounding thing with the LCP. The damned things always seem to work, and you could hit things smaller than a breadbox. But they are just snappy/unpleasant to shoot. Which discourages the frequent practice you need with such a small caliber and gun.
Dear heavens, yes. They look and feel like Baby Bear's porridge, and they really are just right, in .32ACP.
Never fired the poly version, but the alloy one was surprisingly mild, for a blowback .380.Regarding locked breech vs blow back, there is a reason for the skate board tape on this one
I also bought a second one just last week. The XS R3D 2.0 sights for it should be arriving today. One thing I learned is that the first one's trigger is down to 4 pounds after nearly 2000 rounds, and the new one started at slightly over 5 pounds. Two nights of dry firing the new one brought the weight down to 4-1/2 pounds. See if you notice the difference with your second one. The second one also does not have the ridge at the top of the ramp attached to the frame, and the sights are centered unlike the first one.Well...
I'm VERY attached to my Bodyguard 2.0. So much so, I ordered a second one, just to be sure I still have one after the next time my youngest pays a visit...
I'm also going to pay a visit to a local gun smith to see if the front sight on the one I currently have can be better centered, as I've not been able to budge it myself.
Consider yourself lucky. Of the nearly half dozen 380s I've gotten my wife, based on her criteria/wants/suggestions, she's been happy with none of them for one reason or another. The crazy light racker M&P 380 EZ's grip safety bugged her. The crazy light rack Walther PK380 was too complicated. And so on through a few incrementally slightly more difficult to rack, even one that had a tip up barrel....
She likes her Ruger Mark IV Standard better.
She wouldn't even consider the M&P after experiencing the 100+ year old grip safety on our little 1903 Pocket Hammerless. Totally different world now, but that was that.
Ha! The only pistol my wife like to shoot is her Mk III !She likes her Ruger Mark IV Standard better.
The CCP fits my hand well enough but the ergonomics of the slide and mag release buttons preclude using my primary thumb on them. I have to reach in with the other hand or break grip to push them. Plus there's the extreme dirtiness of the gas delayed blowback action. Yuck. And that odious mag interlock... double yuck. The striker failing after 19 rounds didn't help. Nor did the migrating roll pin in the slide. Both had to be fixed by Walther, neither with exemplary communication. But it's apparently all past that now. At least until the next thing breaks.
Is the magazine release reversible?
Bought one for wife some years ago, probably run 300-400 rounds of ball through it with no hiccups. For JHP it likes Hornady Critical Defense - took a bit to figure that out <grin>. Bought the extended magazine so I have a place to put my pinky.
