Unfortunately, since I picked up the LCP two weeks ago, I was forbidden by the wife to participate this year. Besides, she says it’s her turn for a new gun. On her list right now is a S&W M&P9 JG (Julie Goloski edition), a walther P22 (preferably with the pink camo grips), and of course her own AR-15 (the build is in the works already).
So for NBAGD, I went shooting instead. I went through 200 rounds of .380 with the LCP. I absolutely love this little gun. With my big meat-hooks, it’s a bit of a challenge to get a good grip on with the old style mags. But with the new style mags, it’s very doable. Even still, the short trigger reach gives me some problems with my trigger pull. It is a little difficult to get a consistent trigger pull with big hands. But it’s nothing a little practice can’t overcome. This is one of the area’s that the CTC laser really makes a big difference. It is a fantastic trigger control diagnostic tool. When the trigger breaks, just watch where the little red dot jumps to.
The little pistol shoots great. The CTC Laser makes all the difference in the world. The sights on the LCP are just sufficient in good light, in dim/low light conditions, they are almost useless. In those situations, the CTC laser gets you confidently on target quickly, and back on target for a follow-up shot just as quick. It is such a nice system, that IMO, ruger should just package them in with the pistol in the first place.
I have not been able to find any carry loads to test with as of yet, but the Remington 95 gr ball and Blazer Brass 95 gr ball range ammo I’ve put through it have all run flawlessly.
Keep blogging Thomas this is a great site but I don’t see any posts past this one keep workning on it. Btw the iPod button works great but the standard version works very well on the iPod 2.
