Ruger lcp

[Plinkuh]

I completly understand. I would not have believed it either if I wasn't the one to do it. There are some clips on youtube of others doing simmilar things.

Well, yeah. I saw Hicock45 reach out to 230yds with a Glock 27. Would have I believed it if I didn't have video evidence? Nope, sorry.

Just sold my LCP to fund another gun purchase :-P but I do like them a lot. My wife still has hers and she loves it. She carries it in a crossbreed holster and it's very comfortable. Not a range gun by any means but it serves it's purpose nicely.

Im an idiot. reading lcp but thinking lcr. sorry

A man sized target is pretty big. you would be suprised. I think anyone could do it.

I would be more confident with a gun that had true sights on it, but the LCP has almost no sights to speak of.

I'll have to give it a go next time out though!

The LCP is great for carrying in your pocket or you can attach a small belt clip to it. But that being said it is brutal on the hand when shooting it at the range.

You might think I'm pulling your chain, but I was hitting a man size steel target at 50 yards.

No, don't doubt you. That's never a scenario she would use it for.

Think: 1- Bad guy, 2- Pull, 3- Bang Bang Bang....

(Edit: about as fast as you can read that line)

If an LCP is miserable to shoot, someone needs to please tell my little sisters! Box after box of .380's get expensive!

Just going to go on and say that Hicock45 is one helluva shot with none of the pretention that comes with exhibition shooting. Here is his work with the LCP:

My mother has one and I can't stand the kick on it, nor can she. She never uses it because of it. Not a bad gun, you just have to be okay with the recoil. I have two Rugers though and they are smooth on kick, but one is .45 and the other is a 9, so that is why.

LCP wasn't made for fun at the range or target gun. It's for close range protection and light weight carry. My wife and I shoot ours monthly to keep proficent with them, but use other guns for fun. Recoil isn't that bad really.

Try some Hornady Critical Defense rounds in it and see what you think.

That's our plan as well Looney. Even though they're not real fun to shoot, my wife and I try to put a mag or two thru each of our's every time we go shooting. In fact, we just tested the Wolff springs in both of them with good results....the 13 and 12 lb springs both function fine with cheap ball, better hollowpoint, and our carry Hornady Zombie-Max/Critical Defense loads. The heavier springs, along with Pachmayr Grip Gloves, really help take some of the "bite" out of shooting the LCPs for us.

Lol! That's great. I have one with the factory installed Lasermax laser. At 21 feet I can put every shot into the head of a target. At 25 yards keeping it on paper is no problem. Sure, it's a little snappy, but describing it as "brutal" or "severe recoil" is a bit carried away. I'm not trying to say anyone on this site is less than a man, but....

 

[looney2ns]

Also, your grip matters. You want to grip it like you are trying to prevent someone from taking it from you. In other words, very tightly. That helps with the percieved snapiness.
