Default Re: I Need A Little Help With A Handgun I'm Looking At.

Catfish's comment about using same/same ammo makes sense to me, for lots of reasons.
I have always preferred 9mm, .45 being way too much to hold down, for my liking.
Whether I'm prepared to go to .380 across the board is another question.
Regardless, I still intend to pick up this little gun, even if only to play with it for a season or two.

A thought on the laser...
I have no intention of using the laser for anything but fun. To think that a person can draw, place a laser, and fire in a reasonable amount of time is fantasy, in my eye.
The LCP has small sights, if I recall correctly. Not that it matters. I have never shot a handgun using the sights unless it was to get a feel for an unfamiliar gun, or starting with a new gun to establish a base.
I think it's incredibly important for me to know my handgun as an extension of myself. In close quarters, I doubt that I'll have a direct shot. If I need to shoot around an obstruction with the gun off the center of my body, I'd better be able to do it, or I'm gonna be in trouble.
