Ruger LCP

Recommended Posts

Finally got a chance to shoot it today. (picked it up used a few months ago). Didn't have new targets w me, so didnt get a real good feel for accuracy (mine or guns). But while I love the smaller size for a CCW, I'm not sure I want this to be my default. Must have had 5 or so FTF, (out of no more than 50 rounds). Not sure if that's a fault of the LCP, or the ammo.

Then there's the size. It's just too small (apparently some guys have this issue). My trigger finger actually got abrasions on it from hitting the trigger guard. So maybe that's a sign this gun is just too damn small for me. So much for an easy to conceal CCW

I really wanted to like this gun

That is strange, mine has been 100% flawless with "anything" I have fed it. Yes it is a snappy lil gun, but very accurate for what it is. The feed ramp may need polished a bit, and no this isnt a gun you want to shoot allot with in the same day.

If you want another great CCW, checkout the new LC9.

I don't have girl hands, no. Also don't have fat hands. I wear a size 12 shoe if that tells you anything. (hand/feet/dick correlation).

Don't think I was limp wristing it, but who knows. just seems like my finger is too big for trigger guard. 4587c05f-ea17-4c6f.jpg4587c05f-ea4f-c0a5.jpg4587c05f-eae1-d039.jpg

Haven't necessarily decided to sell it just yet. Might take to range again just to be sure. Or may get a better feel at the upcoming class w Chief. But I'm also open to taking any offers.

All the ultralight pocket .380s are a compromise. There's just not enough mass to cycle as reliably as a Glock, M&P, or <insert your kick ass gun here>. They're too small to get a comfortable grip...but light enough to be in your pocket when you need it :)

Out of curiousity what ammo were you using?

Just realized this was a 50 ct box, not 100. So that means I had 5 or so FTF out of 25+, not 50+ rounds. Not a good ratio.

Nope. You said this was used, any idea how many rounds have been fired? If it's beyond the normal break in period, you may want to send it back to Ruger for repair. There was a recall on early LCPs.

Your grip is wrong too, only supposed to have the tip of your finger on the trigger. You've got your whole finger thru there, that will cause the fit problem you talked about plus that affects accuracy because you tend to pull the gun to the side when you pull the trigger with you finger all the way across. Practice just the tip.

I would have to say that the LCP is just too damn small for his hands.

The subject on grip and finger placement is a very opinionated subject. We could discuss this all day but there would be no way for me to steer the thinking of a firearms master (like yourself) in a direction towards a different path.
