Well, I got to try out my new version of the lcp, for those not wanting to read a lot... excellent.
I've owned several lcp's in the past and they all found their way out the door, only for me to fall back victim to the idea of pocket carry and go get another one.
The reason I didn't care to let them go is because I just couldn't shoot them to suit me. The sights, the trigger, the way I had to keep re-gripping the firearm, all led me to feel less than confident in the little pocket piece. The concept I loved, a small, cheap, no safety, durable firearm for pocket carry. All of those issues were corrected on this firearm. At least for me.
Along comes the new version and after trying the trigger in the store, I purchased it Friday, finally got to shoot it today.
150 rounds is all I had on hand, the last lcp experiences I've had led me to believe that was more than enough. Not with this one, wished I'd have had more.
2.5" 5 shot groups at 30 yards. Also keep in mind I've been out of shooting for a while and am a bit rusty, but the little guy really surprised me. The trigger was actually a little better than a stock glock. Kinda more like my 19 with zev tech springs and disconnect. Sights are integral but much larger and easier to pick up. Mine has closer to a 12 o'clock hold with the ammo I was shooting.
Recoil feels no worse to me than my glock 26 and my Kahr CM9 is snappier next to it.
I tended to pull to the left a couple inches on double taps but I'm sure I can over come that with a few more practice sessions.
No hiccups at all with wwb 90 grain. Didn't fire any hollow point or defense ammo, I'm sure the better ammo would be a little snappier but the revised grip frame of this little guy really soaked up a lot of recoil with the backstrap being wider and spreading out that impact over the palm more.
I've carried it in the pocket holster that it came with since purchase, along with a primary iwb of course since this was a new firearm never shot, just to get a feel for it in my pocket. I can not tell a difference between this one and the last one I had in my pocket. Also I've lost 85lbs since I carried my last lcp and my jeans went from a 40-34 relaxed fit to 34-34 regular fit and this firearm still carried just as comfortably with the same amount of print, any pistol in your pocket is gonna bulge a little but it wasn't a difference enough for me to tell between the originals and this one.
In closing, I'm very very pleased with this purchase, definitely recommended to those that want a shootable polymer pocket pistol!
Ps. The girlfriend shot the lcp II better than my glock 19, S&W 637, and kahr cm9. The only thing she shot better was the cz75, but honestly, who doesn't shoot those like a dream?
