Another MinneSNOWtan here as well and I just joined, too!
Tonight, I just took my new LCP out to Bill's Gunshop and Range for the first time (gave her a good cleaning before heading to the range).
I ran several different rounds through the LCP and found that, for a defensive round, the Speer Gold Dot worked very well. I was also surprised at how (relatively) accurate the LCP was. I was able to get some pretty tight groupings at 15' (that may not be a big deal for many of you folks, but I'm not a long-time handgun user...I've owned handguns for many years but haven't really taken the time to develop the necessary skills with dedicated range time, something that is going to change).
I plan on carrying my LCP when weather permits only shorts or other very light clothing. For the moment, I'm using a "Pocket Grabber", which I found here:
