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.

The LCP has awful sights. Shouldn't even be called sights.
The Crimson Trace is the way to go.
On button is on grip. You can't help but automatically turn it on as you grip gun.
I recommend that one over Lasermax that requires a second step to turn on by having to hit toggle with index finger.
I can't phantom using LCP without laser as otherwise hard to be accurate with it.
If looking to stay small and you can spring $600, go for Sig P238. It is a mini 1911.
