Primary things I'm looking for are reliable, tiny, real sights (but don't need to be adjustable), and within my budget. Looking at the lcp custom, tcp, pico, and cw380 (this one being at the top end of my budget). Ive shot the gen 1 lcp and hated it, but have read the custom is much improved. I've handled but not fired the pico. I liked the trigger and the ergonomics were actually reasonable for me outside of the mag release, but the reviews seem to be mixed at best. The tcp and the kahr I haven't even handled. The tcp seems to get a ton of praise and it is crazy cheap, but taurus gives me pause and I'm not sure about the lighter trigger for a pocket pistol, holster or no (a decent DAO or DA/SA would be ideal). Finally, a gun that is somewhat tolerable to shoot would be nice to make practice more likely (and I hear the pico is fairly gentle), but that's not a necessity.
Any insight / recommendations to help me make a decision (or other pistols I should consider) would be much appreciated.
