Okay, so I picked it up at around 5pm last night, the salesman wasn't sure how many they had originally received, but mine was the last out the door.
I wanted to shoot it right there and then, but I always break a gun down and clean it first, you never know what you might find.
First things first, I haven't posted pictures before, if there's an easy way let me know, otherwise maybe I could mail them to someone.
First impressions - this thing oozes quality compared to my P-3AT, and feels noticeably heavier in the hand. Size wise it seems to be just a hair longer than the Kel-Tec, but here's the surprise, the grip is significantly shorter. Just for kicks I carefully slid a P-3AT mag into the LCP's mag well and lo and behold it fits and locked into place !! albeit with about a quarter inch of mag sticking out below the bottom of the grip.
Having a slide hold open is nice, but it's a pity it doesn't lock back on empty, this slide catch is strictly for manual use only.
Disassembly is exactly like the P-3AT (surprise, surprise) and I hate having to pry out the retaining pin as it's difficult to avoid scratching the frame. Once taken apart the first thing that struck me was that dual recoil spring seems much higher quality than the one in the KT which looks like it came out of a ballpoint pen, and the second was the bad news - after just a few rounds of factory test firing, the frame is peening at the lower right side rear as you look down on the frame. A burr had developed and silver metal is clearly visible. Once again this is identical to my P-3AT which also quickly developed the same thing in the same place, but it never got any worse, so I'm obviously hoping for the same thing.
Hope to shoot it this weekend, I'll post the results, good or bad.
