Picked it up this weekend at a local gun shop.
Comparing it to the KelTek P3AT, the LCP feels much more solid. I won't be able to shoot it for another day or two, but will report back afterwards.

Here's a pic:

I'm interested in those over the keltec. I need a pocket gun for warm weather.

I've had the KelTek for a while and never had any problems with it. It shoots well and has never jammed or anything.
The KelTek is a little bit smaller than the Ruger. Not much though. I think they weigh about the same.
Here is a pic together:
Sorry about the quality. It's pic off of my phone.

I put a few rounds thru it yesterday and was pretty impressed with it. Shot 50 rounds in all. Shot at this target for the first 10 rounds. These shots were taken from 16' away. 8 out of the 10 were on the paper, and one hit the very top of the target. The other shot was just off of the target high and too the right.

Very happy with the gun. No misfires at all. Does have quite a bit of recoil. You could shoot it with one hand, but it would be difficult to hit anything. And it's extremely LOUD, must wear earplugs while practicing.
Anyway here's the target. Keep in mind, I'm no marksman! LOL

$299

I've seen a few people on other boards have picked them up in the $270 range. I paid $260 for the KelTek.

That is a pretty good price for it if it is better than the Keltec. I might just have to pick one up. The wife has a Seecamp for her pocket pistol, but was only able to get it in a .32.
