    Well, that was a weird turn

    I have a "public defender poly" which has the shortest barrel in the lineup, I think. Been using Winchester high brass Super-X 2 1/2 1/2 ounce 7 1/2 shot "upland and small game" for the occasional copperhead that gets into the outside living areas where people and dogs go. Works good. I have...

    What's your preferred every day carry?

    Your use of these for carry is quite an endorsement. I look forward to testing of mine (4) when I have time. Current EDC P365XL with WC grip module, sometimes a 442 in pocket. If I am going lazy LCP MAX for thin and light.

    Ruger LCP1 Gen2 Vs. Gen3

    In my most recent purchase I seem to have skipped right over gen 2 from gen1 to gen 3. Hard to believe my original gen 1 is 15 years old. @halfmoonclip I am going to say lightweight (the "L" in LCP) and small size are what makes the LCP the LCP. It's an inexpensive, reliable little pocket 380...

    Do you decrease potential firearms purchases because of Form 4473 & FFL interaction?

    When I lived in NJ where purchase permits are issued for every handgun via an application, people would list the number of permits they wanted and would receive them after the equivalent of a full criminal background check done by the state (similar to carry license in other states). Not only...

    More knives from my misspent youth.

    This was the basic teen knife in NYC when I grew up: https://www.otter-messer.de/en/MERCATOR-Black-cat-knife-K55K/10-426-rg-RK Had to buy one again :)

    Update on recent experience flying with handgun

    First time I flew out of Newark (EWR) the ticket counter lady had me open my locked pistol case with four pistols inside - at the ticket counter in Newark, NJ. I mean there were tons of people on line behind, and in the lines beside. I said, now, here? She affirmed and so I turned the case to...

    Ruger LCP1 Gen2 Vs. Gen3

    Reference post. Thank you.

    These cartridges would not fire.

    Hard question which of course only you can answer. But my opinion is get some top tier manufactured ammo - not a boutique or small outfit, and test it using that. Something in the defensive/LE lines from Speer, Winchester, Federal, Hornady. Ammo that law enforcement uses. And don't forget...

    P32 Failure to Eject

    Works good with Fiocchi ball and PMC JHP.

    These cartridges would not fire.

    I have this dumb test I use. Unloaded, cylinder out of battery, hold the the cylinder release back to defeat the interlock while placing a finger over the firing pin hole. Pull trigger. If it stings, its good :)

    Spring/Summer Carry? Missing My LCPII ☹️

    I checked mine out with a cylinder of 125 grain JHP. I'm sticking to 38 +P at most and it should last forever :)

    Carry Safety

    It is a tragedy brought about by lack of the most basic safety awareness. Now the family is destroyed, and while the article says no charges have been filed, you can bet the state has criminal negligence or similar on the books. This sad mother will be crying in prison as she contemplates her...

    Spring/Summer Carry? Missing My LCPII ☹️

    That is hardly a step in the direction the OP asked about, given he starts with J-frame and is looking at LCP II class. I'd go back to another LCP, pick the type you want.

    Ruger 380 ACP pistols

    This one by pictures doesn't have the ears on the slide? Probably doesn't matter much if the serrations are crisp. Handsome pistol, I want one :)

    Ruger 380 ACP pistols

    I recently picked up a new LCP gen 2 to compliment my LCP gen 1 bought in 2009. George Kellgren invented it in the P32 and P3AT and Ruger took it full measure to mass production. They really are great at what they do. Flat, safe, reliable. The LCP II and MAX versions moved toward improved...
