The 642 is a lot better put together, equally accurate, and 38 spcl +P packs more of a punch than 380 ACP. Its frame soaks up recoil better, accuracy is a bit better.
They're sort of apples and oranges, that and the LCP is much thinner profile and more concealable.

I disagree about the recoil - though I suspect more would agree with you - but the thing about pins walking out is true. While my Elsie has been flawless, every 100 rounds or so I have to grab a mallet and a piece of cloth and tap the rearmost pin back even, as it has usually walked out 2-3 mm.
I also agree that they're apples and oranges. Both very useful in the proper context.
