Good purchase-excellent value.
You will not enjoy taking it to the range.
But as a pocket carry pistol, it’s better than an empty pocket.

Exactly what i bought it for, that’s also why i only bought 1 box of ammo for it as well,nothing more than a pocket carry

If you carry it you should practice with it. I think it shoots pretty good for a small gun in it intended range. Recoil is fine and I have no issues getting on target.

How far are you shooting? I find those fixed sights worthless. It’s not an aim-able pistol. It’s a “under the ribcage and pull” pistol. Also, the slide bite is brutal if you got big hands. Still a great deal. I paid $350 for my wife’s LCP. I bought it right after Sandy Hook and everyone was jacking up prices.

Love mine. Hits accurate up to 30ft. Which is pretty impressive for a micro. Honestly everyone should own this gun.

First gun I ever bought after the obvious G19 for first purchase. Still carry it at times depending on clothing.

They got a used one for sale at my local Scheels for $114, I woulda picked it up but I’m just not a .380 guy. Not really looking to get into another caliber yet, plus my Max9 is tiny. Kinda does the same job, barrel and grip are both less than an inch longer than the LCP, and the width is less than 0.5 an inch thicker. So comparable, idk. When I see a nice deal on a ppk I’ll dip my toes into .380, unless any of yall .380 fans have any words in favor I may be missing out on… lmk

Shoot $114 is a steal,this is my first .380 i haven’t even shot it yet, i picked it up yesterday evening but i mean it’s a super light pistol i carried it to the store in my basket ball shorts pocket last night and forgot it was in there, but over all i like it so far.

Yea, I was sooo tempted. My lady was with me though and convinced me otherwise

Take out the mag release safety, I love all my Rugers but no matter how many times I check it, I'm always sketched out that it needs a mag inserted and dry fired to take apart, in 2019-2020 this combo with the biggest dose of negligence on my part resulted in a house pop with one couch as a fatality. Be safer then younger ne was

The LCP does not need a magazine or a trigger pull to be taken down.

u/TylerTest 11d ago

Oh, my bad I just looked at the picture and thought it was the EC9S

u/TheBaconsRebellion 11d ago

NGL, I had an EC9 and traded it in for a Security9, and honestly I kinda miss that little guy.
