Ruger LCP w/crimson trace laser carry options and loading issues.

Just a quick video to answer some questions and also to address the issue of difficulties loading. The LCP requires a very hard snap when releasing the slide to load the first cartridge. If you try to ease the slide down it will not have the energy needed to grab the first cartridge and load it. It isn't an issue at all you just need to remember to let it snap shut hard.

Mine had sharp edges on the barrel ramp and the frame just below the ramp. You could see the copper build up. I removed the sharp edges and polished the ramp and it will load slow and easy on hollow points or target rounds.

@MrNolandone I polished mine to a mirror finish but you still need to give it a hard slingshot to load the first round.

[Mattsplat1975]

@MrNolandone I was looking at mine but when I load a full magazine it is clear that the first round isn't anywhere near that frame edge. It hasn't ever jammed on me so I am not too concerned about it. It is a great little gun. Thanks for posting the comments.

@nomarzerimar Yeah, it is very convenient and comfortable to carry.

What is the best ammo to use. My LCP is not broke in yet and has not chambered a round a few times with Remington fmj....usually 2 round chambered I suppose after the gun loosens up a little, should have no problems.

[Mattsplat1975]

@silverexplosion Mine does fine with everything I have ever used in it. I wish I could help. Everything from target to personal defense of all kinds. The target ammo I used was Winchester bulk packs but I have used a number of personal defense rounds and all work just fine.

@Mattsplat1975 You are right I also looked at mine. I think the barrel work is all it realy needed. Being a machinist I just don't like burrs and sharp edges. I think it is great gun also.

[MrNolandone]

@Mattsplat1975 Do you have a sharp edge on the frame just below the ramp? My rounds were dragging over it as they left the mag so I rounded it with a .010" radius and the edges at the top and bottom of the ramp also. I tried last night to make mine hang by holding it back, but it will not hang.
