In all honestly idk I bought it without even considering anything other ... I was intimidated by the site of a revolver I thought it would be too much . After watching videos and looking online . I just fell in love with the thought of a revolver . Seems the way to go for a home and self defensive weapon . I've read they 99 percent of the time go bang . I do understand how you feel about selling and then thinking its your favorite gun. To be honest I havent even thought about the lcp , and don't think I will . It's a great weapon but just cheap feeling and not fun to shoot . Plus I gave it a good five months of trying it out .
