So far yes, I like it.

I haven't been able to practice a lot with it lately since I bought it. I'd like to put 1000 rounds through it before making it my primary carry and replacing the KelTec P32. The trigger is heavier but far shorter than my P32 and it is truly an amazing improvement over the LCP and even LCPII. I bought it because it is essentially the same size as the P32 and LCPII, but holds 10 rounds and has a thicker and longer grip which I thought would make it more comfortable to shoot than other pocket pistols. I very much like the way it dry fires and I like the shorter trigger. I also have more confidence in its reliability over the KelTec I have carried daily for almost 13 years. I need to do more work with it so it does not feel as snappy and I can shoot it better.

Holsterwise I couldn't tell you much other than to say that I have tried it out with the pocket holster it came with. I will probably just stick with that, or at least just for a little while. I am a big fan of the DeSantis Nemisis I use for my P32, but this gun didn't come with it.

Good luck!

For your carry firearm, purchase separate magazines for the range. Loading and unloading a magazine will degrade the spring over time.

Agreed. If you plan on shooting several thousand rounds per month, do this so you will not have to worry about the mags failing in several years from now if you use them for carry.

Also, every 6 months rotate the carry ammunition with new ammunition. Just to be certain no oils got in the primers.

100% The springs will last an eternity for almost all shooters. The ammo not so much.

Those exact words came out of the mouth of the owner of my LGS yesterday. So I went back with intent to purchase the LCP2 and after a lot of back and fourth I decided on the Glock 42. It feels Better in my hand and the trigger is so much better than the LCP max and LCP 2. Let’s hope Glock worked out the bugs out of the gen 4.

I agree with the feel and trigger being better on the Glock. However, I had thre downsides with mine:

--it jammed A LOT.
--could never get a comfortable grip that would also allow for the last round hold open
--for its size and price, it should hold at least 10 rounds like the LCP Max.

so far about 150 rounds and zero issues. It’s a bit of a handful for us big guys with big meat hooks. Thanks for everyone’s input.

Glad to hear. Keep us posted.
