The LCP makes me wish I had small hands but I am 6'2" and have oversized hands that make me have to put a rubber grip even on my M&P 40 full size...So yeah the LCP is like a little yappy dog that is cute and functions as a gun but has no regrets about biting the hand that feeds it. Pretty much like all little dogs it is cute and comforting while in your lap but when it starts yapping its out of control on the bite side. I carry it if I have to. I do prefer a CZ 82 or a sig 230. Little bigger is the CZ 83 but holds 13 rounds of .380 and all of those including the ppk and the Bersa leaves my little flap between my finger and thumb alone. So if you have smaller hands enjoy...if I have to pull the LCP I am pretty sure it is going to bite me as I have no way to get a good grip without a good chance of my pup taking a chunk out. Better that than let the bad guy take a chunk out when nothing else fits and I do trust the LCP for going boom when I need it. My vote is the LC9 Or LC 380 if you are stuck on a slim gun made by Ruger. Otherwise I would get the Bersa if I was choosing again if price was an issue. If not spend a little more on a Sig. Well worth it.
Strange, I'm 6'4" and wear XXL gloves and have no problem. Maybe you should evaluate how you're holding it and see if you can control it without choking up so much with those big strong hands you have?
To the OP's question, I really like the LCP. Don't listen to these guys recommending big thick guns for pocket carry. The only thing I can think of is they have concave thighs or only wear bib overalls. I went from a phone that was 1/2 as thick as an LCP to a phone that is 1/3 as thick as an LCP carried in my front pocket and that made a noticeable difference. Thin and light mean that I won't leave things at home.
