Ruger LCP Initial Impressions

The Ruger LCP is a great little gun. Small, lightweight, decent caliber round... it's a true every day carry firearm. A few notes... the sights suck. I've seen a lot of people paint their sights to make them more visible. I'm sure I'll try something soon.

So far, I've put 100 rounds through it and not one problem so hopefully it will continue to run smoothly.

Has anyone tried painting their frame? It's a polymer frame and I've seen people paint their slides but not the frame. I want like an OD Green bottom half for a neat two tone paint job.

I've only used Winchester 380 Auto 92 grain full metal jackets (target/range) and it shot flawlessly.

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!

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

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.

[mikejpetrucci]

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

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

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.

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.

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.
