Ruger LCP380 Range Report

[rey]

I picked up my Ruger yesterday. I couldn't wait to goto the range with it. This morning at 9.00AM I was on the range. It was still very cold. I first fired 100 rounds of Winchester white box. No problems at all. The little gun is much more accurate than my Keltec P3AT. 3 inch groups at 7 yards. I then shot 100 rounds of remington jacketed hollow points. At round 91 of the hollow points I had a failure of the slide to return to full battery. I don't blame this on the gun because at that time my hands were numb from the cold and shooting all these rounds out of a very small 380. One light tap on the slide and the rest went as they should have. All in all I have to say that if all of the 380's are like mine, Ruger has a winner on their hands. The gun feels much better made than my Kel-Tec. The trigger is a whole lot better, much smoother and lighter than the Kel-Tec and the Ruger is considerably more accurate.

Nice to hear. Any pictures?

Sorry, I havan't learned to take pictures and put them on the computer yet.

Wanna sell me your Keltec cheap?

Nice that you were able to do a side-by-side comparison with the P3-AT. If the LCP380 is more accurate with a nicer trigger pull, it's gonna give Kel-Tec a run for their money, as the P3-AT has been one of Kel-Tec's "bread and butter" guns.

Another win for Ruger...

sounds like I'll be trading my P32 in on a Ruger LCP..
It even looks like the kel-tec belt clip will fit on it..

Mine still has not come in yet! But I'm glad to hears that yours ran well.

Just came back from firing another 150 rounds out of my Ruger. I had no problems at all except for the price of 380 ammo.

I read about a guy who has 1600 rounds through his without a failure yet.
