I never really had any intention of picking one up but I saw a gently used gen2 for the right price and couldn't resist. It just looked so cute. Picked up a couple extra Italian mags and a Hogue sleeve. It makes my lc9s feel huge in comparison.

Also, I discovered that with Imgur if you add a lower-cased "l" before .jpg it will make the pic smaller for forum use.

I carry one, with a stainless slide, as a backup, or "get-off-me," gun, in my pocket. The prices of new ones these days - $200 or less if you shop around - rival those of used ones.

Slept in and haven't had my morning coffee so I remain clueless. I mean WTH is "Elsie pea"?

Gun is a Ruger LCP. L.C.P... Elsie Pea...

I have the LCP2 and love it. Great backup gun and a good pistol for what it is.

Took me a second as well. If I'd heard it, it would have made sense, but reading it...

I recently dissassembled my II to refinish it in Moly Resin. Have refinished it, dreading putting the frame parts back together.

I have the original (plus two in the safe), it fits great in a pocket or in Smart Carry. When I need more firepower I carry the G-43, G-26, or G-19.

Mine takes the 7-rd mag, it may not work with the Gen 2. But your slide locks back!

PSA currently has the LCP for $179.99.
They just came on sale this afternoon.

Decent deal but the rear sight almost looks like the first gen lcp with the longer trigger pull. With the lcp2 they might never sell at that original price.
