Wanted to thank you for the review. My mother in law, whom I actually like, just brought me hers asking what price she could sell it for. From your review and a few others, I'm thinking she should give it away to somebody she hates or perhaps take it to a local Government subsidized housing area and sell it to a pharmaceutical distribution franchize operator.
Ha, thanks for the info. I bought a Lorcin .38 several years back from a friend and then a couple years ago it was stolen, very likely by a family member. It survived a house fire a few years back, but felt pretty sketchy ever since. Now that I've heard about those lawsuits and verified them on-line, I'm a lot less pissed it was stolen. I hope the bastard shoots it and blows his hand off. lol XD
i buy alot of big ticket items, rifles going up to 2,200 bucks is average for me, but i cant help but think this thing looks cool, even if it blows up it looks really cool and funny at the same time, i kinda want one to screw around with just for fun. i done that with a nib cobra ca380, 14 rounds of recomended ammo, and the pistol literally blows up in my hand, sending the slide in my face at god knows what speed, and cracking the frame on the pistol. nice vid, cute toy.
Glad Lorcin went belly up: bad guncos muddy the waters for the good manufacturers. Yeah, it might be a fun project for an experienced collector...I'd like to tinker with one. But, there are probably folks out there who rely on this thing for their family's safety. That sucks. Never rely on a junk gun to save your life or your family's lives...some things are too important to trust to a piece of junk. If you're poor, go Makarov, GP100, Mossberg 500, SP101....there are better options.
i like these guns from a tinkering standpoint, they are cheap you can play gunsmith and if you f it up your not out much. they are great for learning to work on guns with. i carry a S&W 36-2 38 spl for my main concealed carry weapon and sometimes i carry my colt 1903 32 auto. but the cheap saturday night specials are far from garbage they are actually very nice with some work. plus it's fun to tinker with them.
say what you will about lorcin,raven and jimenez but with a little fine tuning they work well. they are unreliable from the factory because of the way they are made. they have not been fit and finished will say. I have a sundance A-25 it started out horrible but after several hours of deburring and polishing and replacing the slide spring with one from a colt 25 auto it now runs sweet. i also have a raven p-25&araven mp-25. both work very well after some tinkering. for the money you can play GS
those guns are perfect guns ... for gun buyback programs, because the $50 they give you for it is worth more than the gun and you'd be doing yourself a favor getting rid of another lorcin.
If these guns work at all they usually break after about a dozen shots. By the way the Lorcin will actually melt faster than a Glock if left on a hot surface. Made in America with pride.
@faffaflunkie thats a lie...after 12 rounds?i have a jimenez 22 with over 500 rounds..flawless.my boy has a jimenez 32 and also has held up well...please tell me you have owned one of these because if not u have no reason to even comment on this video.
@TeamRmageddonNetwork No. I would be embarrassed to show such a piece of junk to the guy at the range counter. But I have shot these guns and I can tell you that they are pure crap. Why fuck with one of these when for a few bucks more you can get a quality arm.
@TeamRmageddonNetwork well actually,i bought this to see how "bad"they actually were...check my channle gnut1980 and ill have a vid of it up soon..but i also thought it wouldnt hold up..honestly for 100 bucks i dont expect much but it goes bang everytime to be a lil .22..and i also own : ,bersa 380,sw sigma 40,ruger p 95,hipoint c9,glock 30,springfield XD,taurus 38 special,sw 35 mag,keltec p11,maverick 12 gauge,and ruger lcp,,,all have been great guns.
BEWARE!!! I took mine to the range yesterday and it blew up!!!!! I spent the rest of the afternoon having shrap metal taken out of my abdomen, if you have one please, please don't use it for anything other than a paper weight.
Years ago I purchased a Lorcin .380 acp . Brand new , in the box $108 including tax . Two weeks later I suckered a buddy of mine into giving me $50 for it & learned my lesson ! The biggest POS firearm I've ever had the sad luck to hold . I wouldn't use that POS to start a foot race with ! No accuracy , & jammed every other round ! Avoid this gun !
i bought a lorcin j22 a long time ago for like 90 bucks,first time i shot it it was good but the second time i took it out to shoot the lil fucker flew apart,now what remains of it sits on a little display shelf i have in my reloading area.
I Just got the lorcin .380, I must say I am concerned to shoot it, seeing all the bad feedback and I see there was a recall for this weapon a while back. Is this gun safe to at least shoot or is it going to blow up in my face?
Lolz, good review, thankfully Lorcin didn't produce any long guns, their hanguns are only dangerous to the operator, a long gun made by Lorcin might take out you and 2 or 3 buddies standing next to you lolz!
i think it was broke before i even got the gun it was a gift anyway so im not to pissed i have dry fired it a few timmes but its center fire and ive never seen the piece that snaped off come out of the gun so idk
wasnt bashing ya just saying they usually break if their dry fired a lot....probably the guy that owned it before it was given to you was doing it...reguardless a shitty gun(i know i own one haha)
pice o shit ! mine will only shoot with 5 in my clip try 7 and it jams. i wouid recomend you take the slide lock off its easy . The lock dosent stop the fireing pin and it is bothersome
Had one and the TD button broke the first time i fired it causing the slide to go flying off to never be found again

got one for $10 fromi a friend and want my money back but he wouldn't so I spray painted it blue and white and probably just use as a paper weight.
