RUGER LCP... Small .380 Auto for Concealed Carry

The Ruger LCP (Lightwieght Carry Pistol) is a 9.4 ounce semi-automatic handgun chambered for the .380 Auto cartridge. This little gun is intended mainly for concealed carry, and its small form factor is a testament to its pocket-ability.

I bought mine at a gun show from Dark Sun Surplus out of Richmond, VA for $329. Not bad for what you get.

I currently have only 50 rounds of FMJ through the little guy, but had no issues whatsoever.

Easy to take down, and easy to clean, fairly accurate inside of 20 yards, and not much recoil, although it does snap a little. A diminutive round like the .380 ACP can kick a little when it is coming out of a 9.4 ounce pistol.

All in all I was pretty impressed. I believe this is a great little gun for throwing in your back pocket or leaving in your vehicle.
