[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1384226, member: 13519"] Remember that the LCP is a "contact" gun, meant for close distances. Close distances as in 0-7 feet. A large percentage of concealed carry confrontations are very close up. Most law enforcement shootings are 7 feet and in, and civilian self defense shootings follow that pattern. Practice shooting from the weapon-retention position and then punching it out while stepping back. Don't just stick it out there for someone to grab. My opinion is not to worry about having a hard time hitting a target at 15 or 20 yards with an LCP. That's not what it's designed for. Little short barrel and goofy sights mean it's close range only. Still gotta practice though. I've seen plenty of 2-3 yard misses...THAT'S embarrassing, and could prove deadly. [/QUOTE]
