Ruger LCP - DON'T PAY RETAIL

[w_ADAM_d88]

Don't think they'll price match if it's not in stock, and I don't care for GM.

^^^^

I tried that last week at the Evansville GM. If they don't have them in stock, forget it..

Ahhh... the fine print!

Could double duty for tactical sanitary products.

I don't have a need to carry such items, maybe you do?

Picked one up at rk today for 199

Put 250 rounds through it in an hour. Had 3 ftf. Dunno if it's break in, too hot, dirty, or just the gun. Maybe ammo Idk. Overall I was impressed by the accuracy. I'm used to striker fired pistols, but quickly got used to the DAO trigger. Not locking open in the last round is weird to get used to.

FYI:The base model (not the custom) has a steel guide rod. So the difference between the custom and this one are the sights and a slightly wider trigger. This trigger was fine imo.

What ammo was you using?

Fiocchi

I have a Gen 1 LCP that I bought new several years ago for $250. Personally for deep conceal carry and given what the intent of this type of gun, I prefer the low sights. This gun is for the 5 yards and in when there is no other option in a life and death situation. I hated the feel of the factory trigger, so I spent the money a couple years ago on the Sweet Pea trigger (black), the recoil and hammer spring upgrades, and the stainless guide rod. All of which make this gun more pleasurable to shoot and easier to shoot more accurately. The trigger alone is a huge improvement not only in a smooth pull but it has a more refined shape to it being less "hooked".

So if you guys can find the "custom" for around $200 that is a heck of a deal ... even if it has the raised sights and the ugly red colored trigger (both I don't care for).

My LCP has been extremely reliable with every kind of ammo that I have put though it. I cannot stand bulk of any kind on my belt or in my pockets, so the LCP has been my preferred carry gun for a few years now.

Well, I'm whizzed off...

I'm getting the run around on my order. So here is what I emailed them..


My order number is 80000XXXX - I ordered a Ruger LCP .380 on December 24th. At that time the website said that it was "in stock" and the lady I talked to said it would be shipped right after Christmas. It is now 7 days later and the order is still "in process". Today I called the "order by phone line" and was told that the gun was not really "in stock" at that time but they had an order that was supposed to come in on December 23rd but didn't and they still had not received it as of yet. So, here I am waiting on an "in stock" gun that was really not "in stock" at the time but just on order from the manufacturer. That is NOT a good way to run a business. "In stock" should mean that you have it in your gun cage, not on order from the manufacturer. Needless to say I am not a happy customer at this time. I would like this to be rectified as soon as possible - First off - I would like to get my gun I ordered , and secondly you all need to change that process of posting on your site that the gun is "in stock" when it really is only on order. If that is not changed you will only alienate future customers.

Sincerely,

Did you put in the Sweet Pea yourself?

Seems like I'm good as long as I stay away from budget Chinese food.

Great CCW, not so much fun at the range I wouldn't think. My Ruger LC9 had alot of snap to it. LCP is smaller caliber but also smaller frame. Reviews seem mixed but I guess at 200 dollars the complaint department must be small....

RK in Greensburg said they got 7 in yesterday and sold them all that afternoon.

 

[ajeandy]

The guy @ Greenwood told me they were getting guns in the next day and to call around 11:30-Noon I called and they said they got some in and had two left. As soon as I got there a guy was buying one and I proceeded to purchase the last one.

@214 out the door they go quick!

My Taurus TCP bit the dust so I'm in the market for a LCP. I'm a Ruger fan already but with the price drop, it's even sweeter. Of course, everywhere I check is out of stock. RK, LGS, etc.

 

[ajeandy]

Everyone's sold out from the holidays. You should be able to find them within the next month or so. Otherwise you can call RK daily to find out when they're getting guns in.

Yes I did the trigger swap myself. It was easy to do.

Whatever you do don't buy from RKGuns.com Their "in stock" does not really mean "in hand". I'm still waiting...

Try a different brand of ammo. Focchi .380 has a larger OAL than most brands of ammo and can be causing your LCP to hiccup.

Here is just one vid showing how the Fiocchi ammo is longer than other brands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af0lZD0MVLw

Hmm interesting.

Just got off the phone with RKGuns.com and they still don't have any in stock. They say "Waiting on shipment" that was supposed to be there on December 23rd. The latest BS fro Obama will probably make that wait longer.

The Rep did say he would discount the gun 10% because of the wait. Of course if I never get the gun 10% is meaningless..
