I really like mine, especially after I worked out a bug that has been a problem for some of the LCP's. I have a 371-xxx series pistol that was made after the first run.
I experienced some off-center primer strikes that resulted in a few failure to fires. I think I'm a pretty good problem solver too...Anyway, my experience and the solution is discussed in this link to the "elsiepeaforum".
Check it out...
Failure To Fire!!! Arrgghh!
Bottom line was 1) The LCP had a problem...2) Ruger's customer service was excellent...3) Problem was solved and the pistol is 100% (or as close as you can get) reliable.
+1 on the ability to take it with you...I'm not in law enforcement, so I choose whether or not to carry. Would I rather have my Colt Officer's Model .45 at my side? Well, sure...but I found myself not carrying, especially in summer...Now I choose otherwise...
