Ruger LCP

[Ccook1065]

I just got a Ruger LCP and I am pretty excited about it. Anyone have any tips to share? What type of defense ammo do you prefer in .380 caliber?

I went through and cleaned all the factory grime out am ready to shoot. I mainly got it for the high percentage carry weapon.

Congrats on your new gun! I like Golden Saber HBJ it is a personal defense round and feeds really well in the small autos, because it has a more rounded edge on the bullet! they are made by Remington.

I run the Winchester bonded PDX1 95gr. and haven't had any problems with it. I've also heard the Buffalo Bore stuff is good but I haven't tried that.

I recommend the hogue lcp grip. It adds a little more to hold and keeps the lcp from Beating up your hand.

Shoot it a lot. It took me awhile to get used to the point of aim and the small frame.

X2 on the Golden Saber. I also bought the Clip extension to allow an added finger on the grip. This is a great little gun for easy carry but def not one to shot all the time.

I put a little finger nail polish front and rear on the "sights". Helps me see 'em. I'm "old". I realize it's a point and shoot sort of piece, but I still like to see something! lol

Oh, if anyone wants to know......front is L.A. Colors/TEASE and rear is Pure ICE/Wild Thing.....red and green!

Had one. Constant FTF. Sold it and bought a TCP.

I have also been running the Winchester pdx1 with no problems. I have about 300 rounds with zero problems.

That's hilarious I bought A Taurus TCP had multiple problems with it sent it back to Taurus, they sent me a new gun after about 200 rds I stripped it to clean and noticed the frame had cracked sent it back to Taurus again to have them replace it. Once I got the 3rd one I decided to sell it and got the LCP w/CT. It's a great pocket pistol if u can get use to the lengthy trigger pull.

Great Gun congrats. My wife and I both love our LCP's with Crimson Trace on them. We carry Hornady Critical Defense in them.
Practice often with it, it takes some getting used to.

The Desantis Nemisis pocket hoster works well for it.

I really like my LCP, in fact it's my EDC. I can get all my rounds into a fist sized group at about 5-7yrds, which I think for a pocket pistol is pretty good. I carry Remington Golden Sabres in it. I think they are an awesome round and they feed perfect. My range rounds are the PMC and it eats them like candy as well.

I went to get the LCP and walked out with the LC9 in place of it. I really liked the LCP, just a little small so shoot. 9 Was not that much bigger.

I've always had good luck with Hydra Shocks and HST. All my recovered rounds showed good expansion in the short barreled weapons.
I've had co-workers tell me they have had good results with the Hornadys Critical Defense in the .380.

Stay safe

+1 on the PMC Bronze ammo for the range. If you're lucky, you can find it at Gander Mountain for $13 a box. That's about as cheap as I've ever seen .380 ammo.

Good choice! I pocket carry mine every day.

You might want to look at the Crimson Trace laser for it. Makes it much better for self defence, because the LCP's sights are not the easiest to use.

When I bought the CT laser for mine, it came with a soft holster and that's what I use for mine. I ordered a Galco leather one, but ended up sending it back because it was near impossible to get out of the holster smoothly. The soft one that comes with the laser is good, but you do have to kind of "push off" with your middle finger.

I wanted the LCP for a pocket carry and instead walked out with the S&W Bodygaurd 380 w/laser. slightly larger. Shot it a few times. PMC is choice for range (Blythes in valpo had it for 13.99/box when i got mine). Also bought Winchester PDX for carry. Everything i have seen balitically on it is impressive. as soon as weather breaks we are going to shoot some and see what it does with water jugs.

Congrats on the new gun!!!

Congrats. LCP is my EDC. My SD ammo is Federal Hydra Shock hollow point.

Stay safe

+1 for Critical Defense, great ammo and it's not the most expensive...

And as others have said PMC bronze is great for the range!

 

[J_Wales]

Federal Hydra-Shok for me.


Congrats on the LCP. It's an excellent pocket pistol.
