Re: Ruger LCP - First Range Visit

I just got an LCP for a running gun. It is the first gun that I can comfortably carry while I run. I ran 3 miles at a super fast pace with it and forgot that it was there.

I am not much of a fan of the .380 cartridge. I prefer full sized 9x19mm. I particularly don't like .380 after reading about Ayoob's pig slaughter house test.

I do however like the .380 lcp because it is small enough to carry with me when I run. For a gun of a size small enough to forget about while running, I think that .380 is the most powerful weapon I can carry while running. It is the weapons that allows me to carry all of the time. Running was previously the one time that I did not carry when I could legally do so. The LCP allows me to bridge the final frontier of concealed carry.

I have limited range experience with it. When I reaaaaaallly focus hard, i can make rounds touch at 7 meters. Practically accuracy is somewhat lacking on account of the really annoyingly small sights. At regular cadence though it is very difficult to fire as accurately as other handguns.

All and all, I wish I could carry a larger more, powerful gun with more practical accuracy while running. The reality is that the LCP lets me carry where no runner could carry before. I like it. It lets me penetrate the final frontier of CHL.
