I haven't tried to wear out a gun before but it might be fun to work on that. It was only $200 so it might be a fun experiment.

Thanks Bob, may do this (reply)

didn't know there was a Hogue grip for LCP - Thanks! (reply)

Bob Hatfield — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 22:20:02 +0000

You have to take off a pin out of the frame at the top and replace it with a longer one IIRC and remove the plastic thingy at the bottom of the grip. So you have to save these if the Hogue grip goes south. The grip really makes shooting it more pleasing. Used to be with the original grip I'd cringe whenever I shot it. It would sort of sting. Now its not bad at all

I'm tempted to add another one myself. NT (reply)

Looks like you're all set Lynn! (reply)

I'm making a mental note not shoot porcupines in my skivvies.

I handled my first one at CSA when Jeff Quinn graciously handed me his and a box of ammo with instructions to give it a go. As soon as I got back to MN, I had my pusher order one up for me. It's been a constant companion ever since and the finish is beginning to show it. (Even was walking into the airport once when Miss Beth stopped me and asked if there might have been something I forgot.) Had an issue with the magazine 'auto-releasing' but, taking advantage of Ruger's recall, had that taken care of when it went through their upgrade.

I has flawlessly fed and fired everything I've stuffed into it. Including the ammo rejected by Melodie's Glock (shhh, don't tell anyone) or her Body Guard. It did not, however, provide a one-stop-shot on a rogue porcupine but it was early and I was in my skivvies so the concentration needed for good shot placement was likely a bit lacking.

For what it is, I believe you'll be happy. I've been seriously thinking of getting another.

Mine is an early, post-recall model... (reply)

that has seen 200-250 rounds a year for the past 5 years; and it was well used when when I got it. I've never added anything to it other than a fresh magazine when the one on board ran dry. It's never choked with anything. I stripped it to the frame awhile back for a well-earned deep cleaning, I didn't find any peening, battering etc.

It's a great little pocket gun that has replaced the many before it.

Doggone, Bob, do I have to buy a pink one? (reply)

Otony — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 01:27:54 +0000

Although I'm sure my daughter would like it!

They are so cheap now, you could buy 2 and keep the spare (reply)

Hobie — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 23:28:14 +0000

available for just in case.

That will affect my usage for sure. NT (reply)

Bryan — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 19:18:08 +0000

An LCP will hurt if you shoot it alot (reply)

Bob Hatfield — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 16:17:00 +0000

They are not comfortable plinkers. Change the grip to a Hogue. Not the sleeve but the one that you have to install. It repositions the way it is held and is much more comfortable to shoot.

shoot a little carry a lot... (reply)

Rob Leahy — Sun, 25 Sep 2016 13:42:32 +0000

iirc under 5,000 rounds

I would not be surprised if it was more operator error eith (reply)

People not familiar with semi automatics. They were also "spraying" rather than a decent cadence - there was no time requirement! It has been rare for me to have malfunctions as well but several pistols I bought were used and already broken in. My son did have a Charles Daley Hi Power with issues the first box of ammo. Trigger stopped working. I did have a Taurus Millenium that wouldn't shoot for sour apples - turned out to be a bad barrel but it would still have passed a carry class. Didn't like lefties either - sometimes the magazine release would get set off (I have now reversed the release).

I wonder what the service life of the LCP is? NT (reply)
