anyone carrying a ruger LCP???
- Thread starter Lee Barner
- Start date
I am getting one in February. I carry a glock 27 and a 642 as a BUG. I retired from NYPD in 1988 and I wish that something like the LCP was available when I was on the job as it would have made a nice third hideout (think Onionfield) BUG.
Mine's under 6 lbs from the factory. I don't know what you're used to in a factory hideout gun (we're not talking target rifle here), but that's light, amigo.
It's long, but it's light for what it is.
You are right...for some reason, my brain translated "light" to "short" when I was reading or responding.
I am not responsible for my brain...it does its own thing frequently, and there is very often a disconnect between my brain, my mouth, and/or my typing finger.
I have learned over time to wear tasty shoes...

Now that Sig has finally introduced the P938, I think that is what I am going to hold out for.

Ain't we all!! BTW Erich I like that little belt clip on your LCP
In other new; His Excellency Mr. Barner seems to have left the thread. Last I saw of him he was delighted with his new LCP so he may be at home cuddling with it

I carry mine with Double Tap 95-gr hardball, which does about 985 fps from my LCP. S&B 92-gr ball does a weensy bit faster - I doubt anyone could tell the difference between the two.
When I get one it's going to get the S&B ball for carry.

I picked up a LCP a couple of months ago. I've had one FTE out of 100 rounds and have been carrying it for a couple of weeks. I like it. Recoil is no worse than any of my J-frames. Seems accurate enough for a pocket auto. Carry a spare mag in the other pocket.
OP
pete, as jessie stated i've been at home cuddling with my new LCP. fit and function seem flawless. between grandkids and rain i haven't been able to get out with it yet. i'm hoping to soon if it dries up enough where i go shoot. i really like the size and feel of it. already got a wallet holster for it and have been carrying it in that around the house to get used to it. lee

Just picked up one of these 3 days ago. Havent shot it yet, but i scrubbed all the cosmoline off of her today. Really like the size and feel of it, sights are a little small though. Need to find a decent IWB holster for it! Cant wait to put some rounds through it!
OP
sights????? your's has sights? is that what those little bumps are? with my bifocals on, if i tilt my head back just right i can sort of see them. for a pocket .380 i don't think sights are even necessary. i'm thinking of a bright orange strip down the middle of the slide. lee
I have had mine for well over a year now. I find it accurate for its intended purpose and easy to CCW. As others I have said, though, it is not a fun gun to shoot. While I carry it often, I probably only practice with it the bare minimum to maintain some level of proficiency. I carry with Gold Dots.

Well, if Erich carries one-that's good enough for me.
