Dang, I just purchased a slightly used old version,,,
And yes, it has teeny sights and a long pull.

I actually like it though,,,
The pull is long but not too long,,,
I believe that I will simply get used to it.

Now if I have a chance to sell it without taking a beating,,,
I would peddle it so I could get the newer version,,,
An OD green LCP would compliment my others,,,
Others are a Raspberry SR22 and a Lilac LC9.

I still haven't been able to do any serious practice with it,,,
That first day I ran to the range and ran 21 rounds,,,
It was really just to ensure the gun worked.

I did notice the snappy recoil,,,
I use the word snappy because it wasn't painful,,,
It's just a reasonably powerful cartridge and a very small grip.

I bought and installed this Handall Hybrid grip from Hogue,,,

Everyone tells me it makes it feel like a different pistol.

I really want to like this little gun,,,
I have a natural affinity for small things,,,
And this is just about as small as I can go in a handgun,,,
I think the LCP is as close to an ideal carry piece for my needs and taste.
