bill, I should have said not off the table because of price, someone said price too high. Little 1911s are too finicky usually.
Al, I can shoot OK too. We also train at speed, multiples, close, far, off hand etc. With every added stressor accuracy decreases..with mid-size and full size pistols, and there's no danger involved. If you can draw and rapidly fire 5 shots into 5 inches at 7 yards with an LCP you're an elite level shooter.
Wake up middle of the night, noises in the house, you get up and down the hallway you identify a bad guy with with bad intent and he starts to come at you. Your 5" circle is history with any handgun. By choice I choose not to be armed with a short sight radius, small sights, limited capacity, weak caliber defensive pistol in my home. You see it differently. If you own only 1 pistol and it's an LCP or other .380 then it's also your HD pistol. You're currently adding pistols you want. Is the LCP going to be your nightstand weapon? Not when you own a G19.
Side note: much to my dismay my BIL bought my sister an LCP for an HD pistol, a purple one. Wish they would have talked to me first.
GMFan, you need a list of your must-haves and priority of usage. For instance, pocket carry pretty much eliminates the bigger subcompacts like the Glock 26. Good luck and don't be surprised if you find you need 2 to properly address your needs.
Intelligent thread everyone, thumbs up.
