I have the Ruger LCP but not with the laser, looks nicely integrated.
Not a joy to shoot but I practice with it anyways because it's so easy to throw in the pocket on the way out.
Fits nicely in the center arm rest upper tray as well.

My son bought one like new from one of his buddies for $100. I was pleasantly surprised when I shot it. I told him about the laser you can put on them, but they're pretty spendy. How do you like the laser? I've never shot a pistol with one.

I love it. it's a little button you push with your index finger whenever you want. Can be pushed both left and right handed. It can also be calibrated to go up or down so you can point to the exact spot you're bullet goes; given the distance is always the same.

Right on! Do you find that it helps with your accuracy, as opposed to open sites?

Haven't shot it yet haha. I'm currently in the Police Academy here where I live so I'm completely engulfed in that. But I think I'm gonna go shooting tomorrow or Sunday.

I'm looking to buy my first handgun. I know this isn't a fun gun to shoot, but I'm intrigued by how small it is. Conceal carry is the ultimate goal.

Looking to buy one of these for myself soon. Or maybe an S&W bodyguard. Let us know how you like it, I've heard good things.

Ive had mine for a year or so, shoots great, never jamed or had a FTF or FTE. Sights suck! I even tried putting some white pain the front sight to help. I always cary this gun.

Great gun for the price. I want to upgrade to the LC9
