Ruger LCP's

[charliepapa]

While I believe the best .380 is x19 not x17 I do know you can pick up the 95gr Winchester PDX1 rounds for the LCP online at Ammo to Go for $18/box of 20, or locally at Dic k's for $30/box of 20.

I just picked up my LCP yesterday. It shoots great and absolutely love it. I am a female and did not find it very snappy at all, I could shoot it all day. No regrets at all!

I have had one for over a few months now, hell i like it, I like the way it shoots, I even shoot in on the range sometimes just for target pratice to ensure I stay proficient with it, I reload rounds for it as well. May I suggest the following for it if you purchase one things I have gotten and I DO NOT regret!
Here is the list as follows:
Slide-Glide Lite
Wolff Ruger LCP .380 XP Recoil Spring Set 13 Lb
Houge Handall Jr Grip Sleeve
Recluse Pocket Holster
Ruger LCP ArmaLaser
Winchester PDX1 JHP's

It is what it is,... a great little carry gun that is no fun to shoot. Very snappy but accurate as you are. Very concealable and up close and personal I would say lethal or damn close to it.

Ruger LCP

I have owned one now for about 4 months. Owned a KelTec P3AT for a while and got ride of due to plastic magazine release. Agree that 380 ACP is bare minimum for self defense. However, it would be better to have this weapon than none and with Hornady's new "Critical Defense" ammo I would feel you would have a fighting chance with well placed shots.

For the next day or so I'm carrying a Walter P22 because I left my two main carry guns at a friend's house

The LCP never gave me any problems at all. I'm a smaller guy but I didnt have any issue with recoil or accuracy. I love the two 380's I've had for their small size and ease of consealment. I carry a J-frame every day, but if I dont want to carry that thing around, the 380 definitely is the next best thing to my pocket knife!

I liked it when I had it. Almost as much as the Sig p238. I like the Colt Mustang style of the Sig. This is my motorcycle carry now. The Ex took my dang LCP. C'est la vie!

Anyone swap to the 11 or 12lb Wolff Springs? Im hearing this is the way to go. Im kicking it around n ow.

Eventhough I do not own an LCP, I do own a P-3AT and I have found the Gold Dots to be the next best thing to follow DPX-1 (hard to find), not sure if the LCP does the same thing but the Keltec HATES steel Tula Ammo chokes like there is NO tomorrow, but totally LOVES any brass casing with HP tip.

Good little guns for what they are, I bought it mainly to go with me when I cant carry my other guns or for when I go to work (offshore), I dont want to keep any of my good guns in the vehicle parked at a dock for 2 weeks, and so far the Keltec has been more than reliable as long as I dont shoot steel, its better than the other low grade pistols IMO, eventhough after shooting the Taurus TCP I wish I would have went with that due to the slide lock feature.

I've had my LCP for a year or so. You definitely trade convenience for fire-power, but it an effortless carry with reasonable stopping power at self-defense range.
You can carry it anywhere, wearing anything, almost effortlessly.
I practice out of the pocket and 3-quick rounds into a body-sized target. It points easily. Its rounded edges make it snag-resistant out of the pocket.

Its not the funnest gun to go run 50 rounds through, but I didn't buy it for that.

I like it.
