My mother has the 1st gen LCP. I tried shooting it and did NOT like it, but I have large hands. The trigger was horrible. I've heard the LCP2 has made many improvements. In fact, everything I complained about with my mother's gun, they have made adjustments. I have yet to try firing the LCP2 to see if it's enough for me to be "okay" with it. As for your other questions...

Classes can vary from place to place.
You will need 50 rounds of ammo for the test.


State fee is $40.

new here and about to enroll in a course so I can get my CHL. My weapon of choice is the lcp. Is this a good option for concealed carry? Also is it true that Texas reduces their fees for carry permits? I read somewhere that I. Sept 2017, the free went from $140 to $40. If so, that’s a lot of savings!

Thanks

State fees have indeed been reduced from $140 to $40 in most cases. As for your choice of carry weapon? The best choice is something you can shoot well, and something that you WILL carry. If you can shoot the LCP well and will carry it, that's great. Many on here would suggest trying several different guns to see which you might like best. Most gun ranges have popular guns you can rent to try out. I too would encourage you to try before you buy. If you have a friend who has the gun you are considering, you might even see if they would let you take to the range.
