I picked up an LCP this weekend at the Dallas Market Hall gun show and got out to the range today to wring it out. I ran 150 rounds through it (100 WWB, 50 Remington) all FMJ. The Winchester bullet is a flat nose design and I found that when chambering a round, it was necessary to give the slide a good sharp rack otherwise the cartridge hung up on the feedramp. A quick bump to the rear of the slide sent the round into battery. Other than that, the gun performed flawlessly and cycled and ejected all 150 rounds. The sights are non existent, but at the range the gun is intended for were adequate. I shot at 3 and 5 yds, primarily at the 3 yard line. The trigger pull is long, but after a couple of magazines I got used to it and was able to shoot some good groups. I picked up a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster for it and have to say I'm very happy with the gun and holster. I would definitely recommend one to anybody in the market for this type of pistol
Trav1921 giving it a go.

NIce shooting guys... 
Love mine for deep concealment. And I have to say that Ruger's CS was excellent on the recall as mine was a pre-recall S/N. Picked up just before Christmas and returned a day or two after Christmas. I think it was 5 day turn around and over the holiday....

| Pick up a heavier Wolff recoil spring, it'll help with feeding and keep the brass from flying 50' away. I think the factory spring is 9lbs and I increased mine to 13lbs. I've not had any problems feeding FMJ or HP's in mine, haven't shot FP's but HP's typically give most guns issues, especially when new. |

I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of the gun. Glad you liked the pics! Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I had mine in my pocket during a recent M9 qual range- and shot a 29/30 with it on the timed pop-up targets. Much better than most folks would expect from a BUG... |

I know you got used to it but is the long trigger pull bothersome? I am used to my duty glock with a relatively short trigger pull and don't normally like long pulls. For what I bought the gun for - to just drop in a pocket and go- I like the longer trigger pull. My other carry gun is an XD9 SC so there is quite a bit of difference between the two. I don't think the trigger pull on the LCP is something I'll ever really like but with a little practice I now feel confident I could make good hits at the range the gun was intended for. |
