Ruger LCP - DON'T PAY RETAIL

[eurobeaner]

Picked up the lcp at shelbyville RK. $219 PLUS 12% rebate back through the mail. Had my eye on a ATI AR for $489 also, but didn't get it. 12% off is a deal!

From past experience when cresting arrows I know that the fluorescent paint looks better on a white base. So I painted the front sight white first. I looked at it and decided I liked the visibility of the white better than I would with the fluorescent green so I left it white..



I like the Sticky pocket holster. I like the magazine extension for shooting, but will take it off for carry as it adds more of a hang up pulling from my pocket.

fluorescent is much better over white. Glad you like it. I took the extension base plate off of mine as well and am using the flat plate.

Hmmmm. I'm betting that's miss marked. The custom is usually closer to $300. At $219 That's the price of the normal one. In the add it says a custom version is available, and it does not say custom in the title... But the pic and the specs at the bottom show a red aluminum trigger.

Somone needs to to jump on that and see what they get. If it's a custom for $219 that is a steal!

 

[dagibson1507]

Model number on their site is for the custom. Plus the email they sent out specifically says custom.

 

[Willie]

It also says "back order" on the page....

 

[eurobeaner]

Ah. Mobile site is unclear. Once you go to desktop site it says custom all over. Haha

Folks that is the custom at KY guns. $219-225 with credit card is the current price and has been for a while. I bought one from them last month and picked it up at an FFL in Indy a couple of weeks ago. Great gun and great price. Shipping and order management is slow with KY Guns though.

Quick question I am helping my girlfriend shop for her first low budget starter gun. I was looking at the lcp and I was curious about its reliability? Any vouches or horror stories?

My mother has a gen 2 LCP and its ok. Nothing special really and not for target shooting but it fits her needs. The LCP is more of a close combat / deep concealment firearm. With that said I just bought the LCP Custom from the KY Gun Company link above for myself. With that said it is a great starter gun to get the person familiar with guns and how to properly handle them but don't expect great accuracy and avoid the 1st gen LCP's at all cost. Also worth noting that the LCP has no thumb safety and has a long Double Action trigger pull.

Conventional wisdom is that a snub nose revolver fits that bill for many. I like something like a 22 magnum, a bit more affordable to shoot, tolerable recoil, and still a lot better than sticking your tongue out if needed for self defense.

I wouldn't recommend an lcp for a 1st gun...I'd highly recommend a Glock 42 if you want to stay with .380. Something a little heavier with more to hold on to = way more controlability.

This is awesome. A friend of mine had her Ruger LCP stolen and she has just been devastated as it was the only gun that was "her's", now she can pick a new one up sooner.

Shot it today. Very happy with the accuracy. The little gun does have some SNAP to it. I doubt I'll ever run a thousand through it....

I have found all my LCPs to be very accurate... I'm on my forth since family members tend to acquire them from me.

I always raise an eyebrow when I hear someone refer to the LCP as just a belly-gun, since there is no way a gun that small can be accurate. This opinion flies in the face of what I have always experienced with LCPs... They are indeed very accurate for their size.

This is a 10-yard target done with my rebuilt custom LCP... Not too shabby for a belly-gun.

These heavier recoil springs really help a bunch with the "snarky" bite that these little guys have.....Robot Check

And if you really want to make them a TON nicer to shoot, put one of these on ....Robot Check

These two simple and cheap mods can really transform the little LCP ....

The grip seems ridiculous to me. It's just going to make the gun fatter and print more in your pocket. The whole point of the gun is it's form factor being so small imo.

 

[t-squared]

YMMV, but I like it a lot. If you use a fabric pocket holster like a Nemesis it makes the grip just just slightly wider than the holster so you're right... it will print more using that carry style.

Looks very interesting..

Can you post a picture of your LCP with the grips installed?

Also, I have heard that the 13# springs can cause cycling problems?

Thanks...
