Maybe inproving your LCP accuracy

Everyone just loves the tiny sights on the Ruger LCP. Most do the one eye squint when sighting on a target. Next time out try keeping BOTH eyes open when sighting and see if you dont see better results.

I own an LCP. It's a good little gun. I do wish the sights were useable though.

I don't even really use the sights on my LCP, I consider it a point & shoot gun, designed for close in SD situations. The addition of the CT LG-431 enhanced this even more in my opinion. I love my LCP and can not think of a better pocket 380.

"The body aims, the sights confirm"
In a self defense situation where an LCP or LC9 style weapon would be appropriate, you won't be doing any confirmation.

I'm with you. If I'm target shooting, I'll bring another gun. This one, to me, is an up close and very personal gun.

The absolute best answer I've heard about the Elsie Pea sights.

IMO the LCP is for small room shooting range. Close SD shooting, like someone mugging you. Not across room at mad rampage shooter.
