Ruger LCP Initial Impressions

[Kayakbaker1006]

Just sent out my ccw packet and bought the od green yesterday for 335 not bad price

[124worth]

Also some have silver barrels because some guys pull them out and polish them. I did mine and looks great. They come out chrome. Try it

[124worth]

My lcp jams everytime with speer gold dot ammo. the mouth on the bullet is to big and jams on the feed ramp. Your not going to slow like one girl commented on here. Even if you pull back and just let go it will jam. Try hornady ammo they work great. Good luck.

ITS A SMALL GUN U HAVE TOO RACK IT FAST DUMBASS LEARN GUNS

When you put the mag in the gun, it slides in real smooth if you push the mag release while inserting it. Just an f.y.i.

My local Bass Pro Shop has this gun with the bottom in OD green for $349. I personally went with the all black, and kinda regret it now....shoulda got green!

[mikejpetrucci]

@LennoxL420 I'm feeling exactly the same way right now! I need that OD Green one!

@mikejpetrucci

The OD Green version is awsome looking. None of the gun shops in my area carry it though. I gotta have an OD Green one though.

So how was the firing of jhp dose it feed well?

[mikejpetrucci]

@UAFStudent Firing is not a problem at all actually. Cycles fine and everything! Just when charging, if you don't really rack it, sometimes it gets hung up.

how come some lcp has silver barrel?mine is black.

[mikejpetrucci]

@dtc2125 Mine was black as well but I have noticed how others have a silver barrel, not sure why!

[carguy12345678910]

i believe you are supposed to have the chamber open and then slip a clip in and hit the slide release

[mikejpetrucci]

The funny thing about this gun is that it doesn't have a true slide release. It does lock open but you have to manually do it. No lock open on last round. It's virtual twin the Keltec P3AT doesn't even lock open. Odd stuff!

[carguy12345678910]

thats strange i do not want to buy this gun now

[wrightal2006]

Well done! I have been looking at the LCP and the LCR for compact carry. I am really concerned about the feed challenge. It almost looked like the round didn't want to come out when you racked it. Let me know if you find anything out.

Great review! I will definitely have to get one of those. Thanks for the showing the accuracy, most vids don't do that. I'm interested in knowing how well it will feed hollow-points though.

[mikejpetrucci]

Thanks for the comment! I plan on showing a lot more. I am also very interested in those hollow points. I'll hopefully shoot this weekend.
