My older LCP has proven to be reliable. I improved it with a heavier Galloway recoil spring. Buffalo higher pressure ammo works nicely in the little pistol. No matter how I look at the issue, I still have a 380 with all its limitations. I fear that if I shot somebody with it, this person might cut my throat, shoot me, or beat hell out of me. The fact that he might die later does not improve my chance of survival. For me carrying a J frame in an iwb holster is more convenient than carrying the LCP in my pocket. Accessing the J frame carried this way is easier than fumbling with the LCP in my pocket. I like pistols big and small. Sometimes old habits over rule logic when we justify the 380 and 32 automatics which I also like.
