Fuzzy barrel syndrome? Lint in barel?I’ve carried Keltec p3at for almost ten years. It has little finish left on it. It has never jammed with any ammo period. It will fire any kind of ammo. I probably have about 1000 rounds through it. I have a belt clip on it. Slips nicely between me and my belt. I have a 9 round mag +1. It still fits nicely in my pocket if I don’t put on my belt. Vest pocket carry mostly. Poor thing suffers from fuzzy barrel syndrome frequently. The larger mag gives A Lot purchase on the handle making it much easier to control And point. Laugh if want, I have $800 colt I cant shoot two in a row. My wife has s&w bodyguard. She will take my keltec. I also have a s&w ez380. It is big enough I use a holster with it. It usually only gets carried on the weekends because of this.
I've pocket carried all 3; original LCP (8 years), then LCP2 (2 years) and now the LCP Max (past year). I found very little significant difference between carrying all three. Sure, the LCP Max is a little heavier with double capacity but it's still barely noticeable. The wider grip, higher capacity, better trigger, last round hold open and night sights make the LCP Max such an easier choice, IMO.I feel like the LCP2 is unbeatable in this category as others have said. You could go lcp max but it will be very slightly thicker and heavier. Noticeable in a pocket possibly
Interesting take. The lcp1 is still the least pleasant gun I've ever shot. I commend you for putting up with it for 8 years!I've pocket carried all 3; original LCP (8 years), then LCP2 (2 years) and now the LCP Max (past year).

It all comes down to what you're comfortable carrying AND shooting from the pocket draw. You've got to practice the pocket draw firing your .380 to get a feel for which one fits you the best...regardless of what we all say.
Carrying a spare mag in your other pocket is also great training for practicing mag reloads. Make sure you take the time to clean your pistol, mag and spare mags because pocket lint collects easily. But you find that out too when you practice...I know.
I agree it was snappy and trigger was crappy...no one else in my family ever wanted to shoot it a 2nd time...lol. But it fit my need of front pocket concealment. I really liked the LCP II; mine was in blue moonshine camo which was neat. It was a big improvement over the original. But when I handled the Max and saw the big list of improvements, I quickly traded it for the Max while I could still get a decent trade-in amount.Interesting take.

You have got some big pockets.Beretta Mod 84. 13rd and "big" gun features. I like the B and BB better than the F.
prettier and can be carried cocked and locked if you want.
