Took it to the range yesterday and first have to say, "Wow, that thing snaps sharply".  It kinda shows that .380 does pack a wallop despite the debate if it's enough caliber or not.

There isn't a lot of real estate to hold on to and that makes it move around in my hand a bit during recoil.  I think I need to add the available finger extension for the magazine though I don't want to add too much to the size as it'll defeat the whole purpose.

The trigger pull was long and smooth which is good considering the only safety is between your ears.

We put a mixture of FMJ's and HP's throug it with no issues, all fed perfectly.

As others have said, this is no all day plinker and wasn't built to be.  It was built for concealment and it sure is capable of that, which can help assure that it'll be with you when you need it.

I highly suggest the magazine pinky extension due to the recoil. Nice little pistol though.

+1 They don't prodrude enough to get in the way of anything, but they allow for a better purchase on the gun (although, not enough to get your pinky on there).
If the women don't find you handsome...they should at least find you handy.

The mag extension actually fits me between my ring finger and pinky but still helps me stabilize the gun and keep it on target after recoil.

Just got around to firing some PD ammo.  Had my firts jam but then everything went smoothly.  My LCP really LOVES the MagTech 77grainers or maybe I should say I am able to shoot them better...not sure which.

FWIW

Found some on eBay and they came today.  Haven't had the chance to fire with them but I can hook my ring finger around this extension and I'm sure I can get much better control and not have it slip sliding around.
