For most folks the LCP is just not as pleasant to shoot nor is it as easy to shoot accurately as is the SR9C. I have an LCP and an SR9C ... LOVE 'em both and would hate to part with either of them so this isn't intended as a slam. It's just stating a fact. If one recognizes and keeps in mind the limitations of the LCP as well as the advantages it offers, it's a great gun. It wasn't designed to be a target pistol or a fun gun and I doubt that most gun savvy people buy it with either of those two uses in mind. But there is a specific personal defense niche it will fill quite nicely. Mine has never failed to go bang when I pulled it's trigger unless I was dry firing it and there has never been one problem of any kind. Keep in mind that it is extremely light and there's not much to hold on to, so even if the shooter is deaf there will be no doubt in the shooters mind when it goes bang. I highly recommend the Hougue Handall Hybrid grip sleeve made especially for the LCP.
