Please, put the thread back on topic. This isn't a thread on the merits of of any gun except the Hellcat.

Pick any model [P3AT|LCP|TCP|P238|Diamondback|Hellcat] and you'll find 10 people that have had issues and 10 people that have had no issues. Then you'll get people that claim 100% reliability....after 100 rounds :) Until someone comes out with a pocket size Glock 26/27, I'm just sitting back and watching....
Good luck finding 10 dissatisfied LCP owners. One should really do research before disparaging so many guns in one post.

It's not hard to find dissatisfied LCP owners. Here's a simple google search that will return quite a few problem threads:

As far as research, nothing is quite like firsthand right? With exception to the Hellcat, I have owned or know someone that has owned every model I listed.
I had a creampuff Pinto and I'm sure someone has had a lemon Porche. One cannot take that many firearms and blanketly pronounce them as unreliable based on anecdotal/firsthand evidence. There are reliable and unreliable "pocket guns".

I have both. My P3AT is more reliable
Had a Pinto too :)

Cabellas stocks the Hellcat.
