My new "Pocket Protector" - Ruger LCP

[WestSider]

I have been really excited about the Ruger LCP .380 since it was announced at the SHOT Show. I have been a long time Kel-Tec user, but I traded my P-32 in so I was looking to get a new pocket gun. Well after bugging the local gun dealers around here for quite a while I found one finally. AAC Guns in Mooresville got two of them in today, practically right off the assembly line (mine was test fired 4/23/08 - 7 days ago!) Only $259.

My initial impressions are good. It has a very solid feel to it for such a small gun. It has a much more solid and clean look than many Kel-Tecs do as well. I can't wait to send a few rounds down range and see how it handles. Here is a pic of it:

I saw one out at Plainfield. Looks to be a nice little piece.

Yeah.... I'm wondering about that one too. Looks pretty "packable"!!

$259? I really want one of these. An employee at a local shop in Bedford that is notorious for being over priced told me they would go for $325 but werent even being produced yet because Kel tec ws suing them. I had to try hard from laughing at him.

I'd love to get a chance to hold one of those.

I wonder how hard it would be to chamber the gun in 9mm instead? It would ne nice to have a little extra stopping power if needed.

I know he shop, and will NEVER purchase anything from them. In fact I have actually not been in there in a year because I dislike them so much!

Cosners in Bedford if anyone is wondering. At least I think it is.


And I too want a LCP very bad, keeping my eye out for one myself. MC Sports in Bloomington should be @ $259 to $269 but thay have not got one as of yet.

I'd suggest you take this info to Good, Bad, Ugly. I haven't dealt with them directly, but they done some friends of mine badly.

Some guy at one of the Gander Mtn's gave me the same BS line about Kel-Tec suing Ruger so they woudn't be producing the LCP. I told him that it was nothing more than an online rumor but he was convinced so I just ended the conversation. I woudn't buy from them anyway, they have nice people but their prices are a joke. Ya sounds like this guy in Bedford is really spiking the price if he is going to ask $325. Bradis wanted me to put down $300 on one a few weeks ago and I said no thanks. Glad I didn't as I got one for $259.
