New Ruger LCP - Page 3

Van55 · April 16th, 2008, 03:52 PM

I bought one a couple of weeks ago from my local shop.

I think it looks good. Its only a bit bigger than my BlackBerry and I completely forget it's in my pocket in the DeSantis pocket holster.

I have put only 50 rounds through mine so far. This is NOT a range fun pistol.
Basically it hit near what I pointed it at, though with much less accuracy than my larger pistols (XD .40 subcompact and HK USP.45 Compact).

The recoil was easily managable for me. Compared to .357 magnum rounds through a J Frame, it was a piece of cake.

Time will tell whether hit holds up, but as I said, it's not a range gun; its a BUG that I hope never to use in a situation.

The LCP certainly looks better than the Kel-Tec, but my 1st generation P3AT has had one failure to feed and that was in the first couple of mags. I would love an LCP, but can't bring myself to trade off something that isn't broke for something so similar and new to boot.

From what you have described, it sounds like a trigger connector failure.

That Double Tap .380 looks excellent. Would be my first choice in a LCP.
I sure liked it in .357 Magnum!

Gold Dots and Double Tap RULE!!
