Yes, the lcp in general is a reliable weapon, the 380 acp is a good round as long as you know it's limitations. With a good loading this round good, not great but good. I carry one but chose the kahr p380. I am lucky so far to have a good one and I mainly choose this because I shoot it fairly often and it shoots great. I carry hornady xtps in mine, will be getting some buffalo bore soon though
