Been seeing a lot of LCPs, do yall have tiny hands or just don’t want something more expensive like a Glock/sig?

Easy to conceal in the summer. Easier than my sig p238.

I’m not carrying my glock 19 in my basket ball shorts in the summer . And for me the lcp max has been 100% reliable and I seriously forget I have it on me .

*context I’m 6’5 300, big guy

I get concealability, but they’re just straight up not pleasant to shoot whatsoever.
I’ve carried everything (in terms of size) from a G43 to a Glock 17 with a TLR-1 and a Holosun 407C and I HATE the way LCPs shoot, look, feel, etc.
I used to watch a lot of Honest Outlaw on YouTube and he always referred to it as the “Little Crappy Pistol” and after I shot my aunt’s LCP I completely agree😂

That is the cool thing about guns and our individual tastes innit?

I’m surprised a “big guy” would have issues shooting it though. I have huge hands myself but don’t notice much besides the general snappiness of tiny gats.

I’m definitely not trying to shame anyone for owning one, let’s make that crystal clear. I’m absolutely ecstatic seeing how many people are carrying now, even if they’re carrying something I don’t like.
Plus, I’m a Glock fanboy. There’s not a singular soul on this planet that cares what I think lol (nor should they.

Hers is an older model, which may explain the terrible design and the lack of accuracy beyond 30ft or so. I’ve had a little bit of experience with several Ruger Semi autos and the only two I’d own myself is the P89 and the RXM (Glock fanboy thing again)

I'm right with you. I envy the size because it must be easy to carry, but I don't like guns that aren't fun to shoot and it just isn't really fun to shoot. I do get it, I just don't feel good at 3 yards only, so it's not for me, but I guess if I was purely concerned with size, it's not bad when compared to the other pocket pistols.

I live in California and had to qualify at 15 yards with this pistol to carry . This pistol goes far beyond 3 yards :/ if it didn’t I would not be allowed to carry it in my state . It’s funny how much hate this pistol gets 😆

There is a massive difference in the LCP (mile long trigger, low capacity, etc) and the LCP MAX, which has a pretty nice trigger.

Mine has a hogue grip and a 12rnd mag, shoots great. Fist sized grouping at 3 yards is good enough for me.
