My experience (and date of purchase) closely resemble that of "chamberc". I practice with my reloads and carry with Speer Gold Dot. I don't carry the LC9 often as I have other pistols that came out later that I prefer to carry but I am not getting rid of it. The LCPs are handy when I can't carry anything bigger. Paul Harrell has a video (search for the one on the 32 ACP as he is showing how much better the 380 is) where he tests the LCP 380 with Speer Gold Dot on the "meat target (simulate the human chest cavity)". Reliable feeding and excellent expansion of the bullets. Damage to the "meat target" was surprisingly good for that little pistol/cartridge. I still prefer to carry my compact commander 1911 in 45 ACP when possible but don't feel like I am empty handed with the LCP.
