Bought a New Pistol Today for CC (Pic's)

[Ricochet]

Went to one of the local shops today and bought a Ruger LCP NIB for $290.
While at the shop, I bought some 109 grain Remingont golden saber bonded JHP's for it.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get to the range and break it in. I also ordered a DeSantis pocket holster for it.


If anyone else has this pistol, Id like to hear your experience about it.

Here's some pics:





Compared to my SIG 229-R:

I carry it when I cannot carry my Kimber Ultra.....that is most of the summer.

The size is right, but the trigger pull is horrible and it is a difficult gun to shoot well, unless you practice with it.

I do like it despite all of this, but just wish that Ruger would make the trigger better. I have the LC9 also and think that trigger is even worse!

Yeah, the trigger does have a long pull but once you bring it home, it does seem crisp.

What type of defensive loads do you carry in it?

Hornady Critical Defense in all of my SD guns.

I have an LCP, and it gets a fair amount of pocket time. It sometimes serves as the primary in the summer, and mostly serves as a BUG to my Walther PPQ or most often my Walther PPS. I put a crimson trace laser on it and it adds nearly nothing to the profile, but I do like having it since the sight picture is basically non existent. I will say that when carried as my primary, I feel a little naked without a bigger gun on me... but as they say.. a gun is better than no gun at all. The only other thing I throw out is to clean it often when you pocket carry.. they like to pick up lint, etc riding there.

Enjoy it!

Looks nice. I haven;t shot one for quite a while.

I don't ever think I've noticed a warning label actually engraved into the frame of a firearm before.

I think it's a polymer Ruger thing. I had a P345 that had the same exact thing.

OP, I know a lot of people that own LCP's with nothing but great things to say about them. Nice purchase.

The exact warning in on my sr9c.............must be across the board

I use my LCP as a back up gun, Yes make sure you shoot it a lot if you plan on carry it. Takes time to get use to the trigger, fun pistol to shoot. I added a CT laser and I love it.
Enjoy and be safe!

I had an LC9 and the warning always bothered me. Don't get me wrong, my beloved HK has a warning too, but it's underneath the trigger guard and I forget it's there. Between the loaded chamber indicator, warning label and mag disconnect I felt like the LC9 was too "safety oriented"


That said good choice on the LCP, I would like to get one one day. Plenty of people I know bought one and is the ONLY reason they CC all the time. If anyone tells you a .380 isn't powerful enough, shoot them with 6 rounds and ask them again




(JK...do not shoot people for this reason only)
