Yep,
I got to fire the LCP and all the other sub-compacts before they hit the shelves at Ruger. I never liked the trigger pull on any of them. Not just the Rugers....the Kahrs and all the other sub-compacts have that long pull. It actually reminds of this cap gun I used to have as a kid.
There are multiple reasons for it being what it is:
1: There is as you said, no safety. ( Lawyer Friendly )
2: It is a conscious trigger pull. If the trigger got pulled, it was on purpose. ( Lawyer Friendly )
3: It is easy to tuck into your pocket without car keys or a pocket knife accidentally discharging the weapon. ( Lawyer Friendly )
4: In theory, the firing of a gun should be a surprise. This way you don't flinch when you feel the trigger come up on the breaking point of release. This should make the flinchers more accurate. I am honestly sure that it does. However, it makes me less accurate as I am used to feeling that trigger right before release and that is actually my cue to focus even more on the shot.
I am not by any means saying these are bad designs. They just are not for me. If I was in your position where printing could cost me my job, it is a gun that I would defiantely buy due to its small size and price. My brother in law has one and I have shot it multiple times. It does take a little getting used to. As far as the sites go, for no farther than that gun would be accurate, they are more than adequat in my opinion and I wouldn't think twice about it. I think you made a good choice.-Lou
