Comment / question:
Is it alright to use .380 +P ammo in the LCP for concealed carry use?
I would not make a practice of shooting +P all the time. I just want it in case I actually have to use the gun for personal defense.
I would imagine firing a box of 25 through it to ensure proper function but other than that I'd use regular ammo.
I am thinking particularly of the Buffalo Bore 380 ACP +P 95 Gr FMJ.
Response:
Ruger recommends firing only SAAMI specification ammunition in the LCP. No +P ammunition should be used.
