Wow, mine must have been a fluke! I have had mine for about 2 years and not a single problem. Repeat, not a single problem. About 500 rounds through it and it hase NEVER failed to work, from cheap $13/box ammo to SD HP's. The magazine doesn't fall out and the thing is more accurate than I am with my big hands. My GF likes it, but she can't rack the slide as easily as the 1911 commander slide so she doesn't carry it and I get to load it at the range. It is tiny, but the LCP is fractionally smaller although heavier than the TCP's 10.2 oz weight. I think it's the perfect gun for summer shorts carry or in a pair of slacks.
