Default Ruger LCP

Maybe this is old news for you guys, but I finally got a close look at a Ruger LCP the other day at Gander Mtn. I've been very interested in these and they don't stay in the stores long enough to look at. Any way, even though I've looked at the KT P3AT before when I held the LCP I noticed 2 things.

1. I had assumed that this gun is striker fired but it actually has a hammer that is concealed with in the slide. Duh, don't know how I missed this, probably because I hadn't dryfired one.

2. I also notice that when I dry fired the gun that I had to actually twist my hand to be able to pull the trigger all the way back. The take up on the trigger is so much and the grip so small that I couldn't physically pull it back all the way with out moving my hand and/or finger position on the trigger.

I had high hopes for this one becoming part of the family (it has it all - size, concealability, reliability, cost) but I don't see how I could shoot it accurately.

Oh well,
