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.

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...

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...

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 :)

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...

Reference post. Thank you.

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...

Works good with Fiocchi ball and PMC JHP.

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 :)

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

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...

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.

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 :)

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...

Time and again the rules of this forum have been posted. It's for questions of law, specific laws, with citations. Good basic advice has often been given as was the case here. Do some legwork and if a specific legal question arises it may benefit all to see it.

Setting aside any potential manufacturing defects, that looks like weak ammo. ETA: although I have had issues with other ammo - I have not seen a single failure with Fiocchi 73 gr ball, across several different lots. I recommend getting some and testing again. If you guard against rim lock...

I know of no one else but S&W making a locked breech micro 380 and true DAO (and in current production). If that's what one wants they are the only game in town. I hope they fix the OP's or replace it with one that works.

Generally rimlock requires stripping the mag forcefully because the slide is driving the locked rounds forward. There is no clean immediate action I know of. Much better to prevent it.

Further testing today. Shot 7+1 from each of these in order, one brand per mag in a rotating cycle: 32 rounds each, one mag at a time: Magtech 71 grain FMJ Fiocchi 73 grain FMJ PMC 60 grain JHP Magtech was noticeably weak and inconsistent in report and recoil. On the last round of one...

This past weekend circumstances dictated very discreet carry. After considering my mode of dress requirements I chose my 2001-2002 LWS32 w/PMC JHP in a hip pocket holster. Prints like a wallet and and I did not have to go unarmed. I think that's really the point.
