Have heard stories about first models and how awfull the triggers were and how hard it was to shoot. After a few years I heard the triggers were an improvement over the original ones. I have always wanted a true pocket every day carry gun. Not to replace a large caliber power house. Well I finaly pulled the trigger (pun intended) on the new Custom LCP. The one with the wider red trigger and actual sights and I must say they a fine little pocket pistol with a smooth trigger and fairly easy to hit with. Several years ago I tried the trigger on the earlier ones in my gun store and rejected it right there. There is a world of diffrence between the old and new. I am sure the wider trigger has a lot to do with it but to me it is a lot smoother. I am very impressed.

I have one of the originals and never found the trigger to be that objectionable. It is way more accurate than at has any right to be and shoots fairly well. I wish they would have put sights on them from the start.

Shot a friends once, he painted the front sight bright white and made it at least usable for a aiming aid. I didn't think the trigger was too awful compared to what I expected and it would hold 2" groups at 10-15 yards but I just can't warm to the 380 cartridge. Ill stick with my Smith 442 with stout +P loads for a pocket gun.

I am kind of in the same boat. I don't Carly mine much anymore, but it is handy if you go for a walk or a run. I had no trouble hitting the 8" falling plates at 22 yards at the range I use to shoot at.

When I was really shooting it a lot I could hit a man sized plate at 50 yards most of the time. Doubt I could do it now.

version is superior. I give them and a good blade to my friends and loved one that won't carry anything...they do carry those.

I honestly think I did better just pointing and not trying to use the sights which really didn't exist. Sounds like the new model has some major improvements over the original.

Putting a Crimson Trace laser on it. The harder I tried to use the sights, the poorer I shot!

They never fail to go into battery when pushed into a bad guys belly going bang. The 9mm version is far more tempting to try, although that new Glock 43? Seems like it could be a dandy for that sort of work as well. I am not a Glock guy but...

I Prefer American made guns and the striker fired SR9 is better. Not being made by the total and complete ass Gaston Glurk makes the SR(, S&W Shield the Kahr or even the XDs far ahead on my list of that sort of gun.

let us know what you think.

Dang Rob, that is exactly how I feel about them.

It's one of the few autos I've never had jam no matter what the ammo. Other than my Hi Power and SR1911 it's what I consider my most accurate and reliable auto. It seems though there is a backstory to why you don't like them so like I said to each his own.

Gaston. and NO MODS to make it "Perfect"
