You did better than I did on price. (Buds nailed me for $375.) But, man, you're gonna love this pistol! Slides into your pocket like a 10 oz bar of soap. I've been ascending the learning curve. Trigger pull is stiff, but don't try to stage it. Barks like the 9mm short that it is.

Got mine a month back for $299. Two dealers in this area sell for the same price and they have had some 380 ammo that they held back for people who bought the LCPs. I bought a box of 50 FMJ for less than $20 and a box of 50 JHP for less than $30. I've fired maybe 30 rounds and kept all rounds in the black at 20'. I expect that if these guns are used in defense that the distance will be a lot less than 20'. I got an inside the pocket or waistband holster made of brown leather bound with some black nylon looking material for $5. It looks like it was made for the little LCP.
I was suprised at how loud this "tiny" pistol is. Felt recoil is less then my PPKS and much more pleasant to shoot. The Kel-Tec is selling for the same price and much more available than the Ruger but they're almost identical.

You'll need to force yourself to practice with this piece. But you're carrying it, so practice is necessary. It barks like a 9mm. It's potent. The sights aren't very good. Bury the bullseye. Don't stage the pull. Just pull it even and strong.
