The NEW Ruger LCP

[Red Hat]

First it was Sccy (formally known as Skyy) now Ruger has copied Kel-Tec's P3AT. Anything look familiar?? Even in the break down the parts look the same. The only problem I see is the 8 lb trigger pull. Even though...I want one! I guess it's another one that I'm having to wait for release from the manufacture.

The LCP is to ship in March,mine goes on order tomorrow. (GS closed Sun/Mon or it would already be on order).
I'v got 2 P3ATs that run just fine and have no intention of replacing them but I really want to try one of these. I do wish Ruger would have came up with their own design though. Word from a company employee is it is a copy not under license.

That will go really well with my new ALL black SR9 I just purchased today. Damn the 3 day wait! I can't get my CCW fast enough. Blah!

 

[Red Hat]

Thanks, burley. I removed it. I was looking for the other view and saw that one. I didn't even notice it was PS'd. I did notice the rail but it didn't click. That's what happens when you are in ahurry...

 

[echo_5]

it will probably cost $399 !!

Kel-Tec should sue as in Glock v. Smith&Wesson (sigma)

 

[burley]

MSRP a shot show was 330.00

 

[Red Hat]

I'm thinking $250 to $275 on the street.

Looks like the ruger has a external slide log.

 

[DrDavidM]

I love Ruger. Thanks for the post. I wish they would make one between that size and the size if the new SR9. I would still probably stick with my p345 though. They need one about the size of the XD subcompact or baby Glock. Maybe they are working on it. Did I say I love Ruger.

 

[Danno]

Man am I glad to see Ruger make this! I've be toying with which one - Sccy, or Keltec, but now I think my mind is made up - I know Ruger quality - woo hoo!

 

[Landor]

I am thinking I might have to invest in one of those...

 

[Sgt. SIG]

Yeah... but .380?

I looked at CorBon to see what they have for this little puppy.

380 AUTO

80 GR. DPX

1050 FPS

196 FTLBS

Dang it, this darn thing is growing on me!

 

[Swarner793]

Good old Cor-Bon

I carry Cor-Bon 380 AUTO 90 GR. 1050 FPS/220 ft/lbs.

Be safe.

Looks much nicer than Kel-Tec and has a slide stop to boot.

 

[Unearthed]

Is that a slide stop I see? One up on Kel Tec!

This is guy is never giving up his P32 though...

 

[Red Hat]

It's a manual slide lock. It doesn't lock the slide back after the last round.

 

[Ruger Collector]

I want one! Slide lock, improved ejector, rounded edges and real style, what other refinements did they make to the KT design? Time to retire my old S&W SW380 for a more stylish pocket pistol.

Way too often you will find me only carrying my P32 but even I know that .22, .25, .32, and .380 are all too weak to really count on when it matters.

I totally agree but I'm reminded of times when I am not allowed to carry... like at work. This little gem would be super easy to carry and virtually invisible in my SmartCarry!

But if I do get one, I wouldn't be able to pick on anyone else for their "pip squeak" guns anymore!
