I carried one in my pocket as a BUG for nearly 15 years. It was always reliable and surprisingly accurate for such a small pistol. Only thing I didn't like about it was the small sights.
I finally traded mine for a Glock 42 last year. But I wouldn't hesitate to carry the LCP if that was the only pocket gun I had. There is a new version of the LCP 380 out now with bigger sights, and a front night sight. I'll probably buy one of those when I find one for a good price.
Here's the one with better trigger and front night sight. It's called the Custom Model

In the spirit of preventing you from being disappointed before you buy one, the wider aluminum trigger may give the perception of being a "better" trigger pull but the trigger pull is the same for all models.
The front sight has luminescent paint on it not tritium, so you have to expose it to a strong light before it glows in the dark. It's not a "night sight" in truest sense.
