Ruger LCP Range Report

[USA1]

finally got to the range with the LCP

WWB 95 grain FMJ
Remington Golden Saber FMJHP
both functioned perfectly through the LCP.

i started out using the almost nonexistent sights and it is surprisingly accurate.
then i decided to practice real world defensive shooting .
drawing from the pocket and firing with double taps and rapid fire .
some times as close as 6 feet other times about 10 to 15 feet .
i was able to hit the silhouette mostly center mass every time .

The LCP is a great gun for the pocket .
while at the range , there was couple there that both had LCPs
these little guns must be very popular .

all in all , i'm very pleased with it and now i have full confidence that it can do what its intended for .

Good post USA1!

How many rounds of each type did you fire? I'll bet that thing is a joy to shoot, and so concealable.

You chose well, young Skywalker.

I've been thinking of going out for an LCP hunt this afternoon. Wonder if my Academy still has one?! I have .380 ammo and no gun! I have to correct that problem.

Winchester Gallery had both a new one and a used one last week when Lonewolf & I were there. I think the used one was $295(don't hold me to that), and the new one was $345, I THINK. As I wasn't in the market, I didn't pay much attention to prices.

The prices seem to be widely varied. I got mine a couple of weeks ago at Academy for $219.00.

WOW ,thats the best price i've seen .

30 rounds of target ammo and only 6 rounds of SD ammo

i'm low on the SD ammo , so i really just wanted to test it in the LCP

BTW , i also fired my .45
thats always fun

as a side note , i met the owner or manager (i'm not sure which ) of Shiloh and hes a great guy .
he is a member here as well .
he gave me a 25% off my next visit card .

P.S. the dummy in the next stall over shot through the cable that holds the target .

Oh that's so scary. That's the primary reason I go during off hours, or when the crowds are next to nothing.

yeah , the guy that came in to fix it said
"you can always tell the ones you gotta watch as soon as they come in the door "

Thanks for the post, I have had my eye on these for awhile and it''s good to hear of a positive report.

You didnt mention that you met me there and you had a blast of a time shooting my S&W 642!

[longhorn_92]

Great range report! It definitely is a popular gun. I have one as well for a pocket gun - I was considering getting the CT Laser for it. Thanks for the range report!!!

Anybody have thoughts on the CT Laser for the LCP? Experiences?...

I have 2 LCP's I purchased for $210 each last August after waiting 2 months for them. In my opinion, it is NOT a pleasure to shoot at the range, but it is my daily carry and for that purpose I have been very pleased. In a life threatening situation, you'll never hear the sound or feel the recoil anyway.

Small pocket holster and no matter what I wear, jeans, shorts, whatever, it conceals perfectly... Now I just need to save up some money and put a Crimson Trace LG431 on it!

we had a blast..literally

thanks Rawb77 ...
anytime you want to hit the range again , just let me know

Aww.. I wanna be involved in this next shooting session!

Let me know too. I'm mostly free on weekends.. mostly. Once I get my Combat Elite back from Colt, we'll have 1911 fun all day long
