I would suspect the lightly crimped bullets were setback by impact with the feed ramp and one of the higher charged rounds was the problem. This is why I said it was a "design flaw" in the Rugers as most other 380 pistols don't exhibit that same behavior. Actually i thought Ruger or Keltec had reshaped the bottom of the feed ramp recently to address the problem? It seems to me if Ruger was going to copy the KT they would have at least addressed this flaw rather than doing the same thing.
Wow 3 in a week. Did you or anyone get pictures?A recent Ruger LCP Ka-boom at a local range has me concerned about the safety of these guns. I know the folks at Ruger have done their homework on designing and engineering their products to be safe, however three in a week and not with +p ammo has me scratching my head. None of these were with reloads but "factory" ammo. What do you know about the incident of Ruger LCP issues?
That says it all right there.Not "Factory" but "new manufactured" ammo.
I disagree with the idea the LCP can't be shot regularly. I don't think it would hold up as well as my M&P with over 10,000 rounds through it but I fired close to 1000 through my LCP and it didn't have any discernible wear on it. I just think a pistol that should be used within its limits. Using appropriate ammo I would think it would hold up well to a couple thousand rounds without any trouble. I think some of the other 380s are a little more suited to shooting more or using stouter ammo. If a weapon was only strong enough to be shot occasionally I don't know how you would consider it safe to shoot at all.
seems like something you'd shoot once or twice a year and then leave it loaded in your pocket.
