Pros:	very concealable, light, and well built
Cons:	recoil is a bit stout, till you get used to it

I recently purchased a LCP with stainless slide. fit and finish is great. Easy to clean, and VERY light. With it being so light it does have some recoil to it. But with practice it is quite lethal. with the double actiob trigger, it is a bit long on pull. and the sights are small. but is still accurate within 10-15 yards with a good shooter.
All and all this makes a great summer clothing CC gun. or a great back up weapon. well worth the money!

Pros:	Fit and Finish is nice, Small Very Small
Cons:

For what this gun is for its great. Sure the sights are small, the trigger pull is long, and accuracy isn't great but its also a back up pocket gun. The trigger pull is long with no saftey so you know your pulling the trigger can you imagine if it had a target trigger! The sights are small but at the close ranges it was made for its more of a point and shoot gun. Its a great gun for summer and packs a pretty good punch. Of all the mouse guns I'd say its one of the best.

Pros:	decent finish and very small and easy to carry
Cons:	trigger takes some getting use to and sights are almost non existenent

picked it up new at local wal mart last week.they said they were going to stop stocking them and this was the last one they had and it had been the display gun, hence the $210.00 price. have fired about 70 rds of pmc and independence ball and 8 rds of buff bore hard lead. not one malfunction of any kind. at 20-30 feet we can regularly hit pop cans off hand, even my 12 year old son. the buffalo bore seems pretty hot for this handgun. it REALY jumps with them. we will not be shooting many of them through this.

Pros:	Good finish on the bluing, small gun in a decent caliber
Cons:	DAO trigger

I just recently got to test out my LCP. Overall, I'm very please. I've had a Kel Tec P11 before, so the long heavy DAO trigger wasn't a shock, but with the small size, it was much more difficult to adjust to vs. my larger Kel Tec. I found that at 10 yards (paces actually) I could put my shots inside a pie pan only if I "yanked" the trigger without giving myself any time to anticipate the shot; which in a SHTF situation is what you'll be doing anyway!
Overall, I'm pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone wanting a BUG. As for only carry, I'd have to say S&W airweight is the smallest I'd go for.
