I own an LCP and it runs very well. I did not buy it to be a range toy to run thousands of rounds through.
As far as durability how do people think them purty wood grips are going to hold up over time during pocket carry. I imagine they are going to get all scratched up and the finish will start to come off the slide over time.
I have had nothing but good service from Ruger firearms and their customer service is excellent.
Yes Ruger is a good company and I own a few of their guns but I shot my son's LCP and as far as I was concerned it isn't what I want. I have a P-3AT that I like better and I like the P238 way, way better than both the LCP and P-3AT. My son shot my P238 and his LCP is history and yes he has rosewood grips on his new P238 too.
I have had wood grips on other guns and they have not been a problem. As a matter of fact I pocket carried an NAA 22 magnum pistol for years and it's rosewood grips look as good today as when they were new.
Since you say "Looks like the Sig is longer, taller, wider" you must not have actually held one let alone shot one! Why is it you feel compelled to knock a pistol you obviously know little about?
If your satisfied with your LCP thats fine and I haven't any problem with the LCP, but I think the sig is a better pistol by a long shot and yes I gladly paid for that and I like having rosewood grips and I don't know why that bothers you, you need to learn to live with it.
Yes the P238 cost more than the LCP and your right it's not 2X better, probably more like 3 or 4 times better and believe me it's worth every penny of it.
As far as shooting thousands of rounds through it, you bet I will. It's the pistol thats in my pocket everyday and I want to be as good shooting it as I can.
And it "Looks like the Sig is longer, taller, wider", that sounds like it's huge compared to the LCP!
How much bigger is the P238 compared to the LCP? Take a look. Here they are overlaying each other. As far as thick, aside from the safety, they are pretty close in width.
I will never understand why some people have to knock pistols other people have without good reason.
