idodishez Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Anyone have experience w this? Haven't tried other brand yet. But kind of disconcerting. Havent taken to range yet, so not sure if it's fine after ones put in the chamber. But right now, if I load a magazine, then go to put one in chamber, it will jamb EVERY time. I either work slide several times and it eventually goes, or hold upside down a little bit to get bullet past lip.Anyone have an LCP and can comment on experience?

crb Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I never shot hornady in it I had winchester rangers they fed fine everytime. I wonder if its due to the flex tip on those hornadays. Have you put any rounds through it yet? Edited August 26, 2011 by crb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and if it comes time to use hollow points is NOT the time I want a jamb. FMJ onRange, fine I can maybe deal wIt. Intruder in my home w hollow points, NOT good time for jamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I shoot the same exact bullet in mine. At first I had the same trouble, after I shot it and put quite a few rounds thru it the feed ramp will get worked and they don't stick. After the first one is loaded you should be fine. Shoot a few to make sure tho. Like you said under stress isn't where you wanna find out they don't feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I had trouble with my kel tec feeding them and I polished up the feed ramp some and now they feed perfect every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'd say polish the feed ramp. 1500, 2000, 2500 grit wet sanded in 1 direction, then flitz on a dremel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggO Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've put both tmn and hollow points down my LCP, with no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curby Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 if i had an intruder in my home, a LCP would be the last thing i'd pick up. i'd rather have a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Last Chance Pistol. But, it makes a nice daily carry gun - so bite me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walther_gsp Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Shoot some FMJ, see how it functions, then try the HP's. If it fails, polish the feed ramp carefully and try HP again. If it still fails, send back to ruger. In the meantime, use Corbon Pow'r Ball ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 if i had an intruder in my home, a LCP would be the last thing i'd pick up. i'd rather have a hammer.you pick up your hammer, I'll use my lcp with the same rounds we'll see who wins!

curby Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 there are alot more elements to add into a home invasion that would count for the hammer winning. just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TODDFFF Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Look to see when the gun was made. Earlier LCP's had the hiccups like the Kel Tecs had and now the Tarus is having. Ruger did several updated on angles and spring weights to get It right and if you have problems, send it back as it needs to work every time as a self-defense gun. Accessional jams are not acceptable (can be ammo batch related) even for a back up gun. Shoot a lot of different ammo to see what it likes and shoot that ammo until you are proficient with it as all ammo will have a different POI.+1 on the ramp polishing but becarful to not change ramp angle as it will greatly effect function.

crb Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 It is an early pre recall lcp, but has had recall updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
