I carry a j-frame and will use the LCP for a backup (reload). I gave a lot of thought to my carry gun choice and never once considered carrying a j-frame WITHOUT a laser.

Lasers have come a long way. They are very dependable, don't interfere with using the gun's sights if they were to fail, and weigh next to nothing.

More than one expert, who should know, has stated that now that lasers for j-frames are so good, they consider them an almost mandatory purchase (assuming one has the money available to spend).

Some will disagree with that statement and that's OK. I happen to agree with it. What has been said for the laser equipped j-frame is also true for the LCP (IMO).

My LCP will sport one for sure.

agree, I had a CT on my J frame model 60 and trust me I was deadly with it compared to no CT . amazing what the little dot can do for accuracy out of a 1 3/4" bbl. It sure amazed the hell out of me. Indeed they hve come a long way and are very durable .

Indeed SHOOTER, ur a shooter, I couldn't get that group out of my lcp at 20 yards off of a shooting rest.



Nice group for sure.

7 yards 25 yards, I myself have carried for 46 years, never had to draw my weapon. common sense comes first to my mind BUT I can run pretty good yet at age 65 but when I am with my Family, wife and son, I choose not to run, they can't , so I will defend myself and family be it 7 yards or 25. Let the DA sort it out, for I will be the only one who will be telling the story as to what happened, the BG will no longer be alive.

Not all shootings, probably most don't end up in court. I think sometimes we put to much emphasis on that to. FWIW IMO. In Indiana the castle doctrine act enables one to defend himself beyond his own property boundaries, if one feels his life is threatened. Again common sense plays a big part. I myself feel I can decipher who is truly a bad guy . Not puffing my chest out here either but at age 65, I have lived a good life and full retreat in not in my style...
