I know I've read a bunch of reviews here but I just had to mention what a pleasure the Ruger LCP is!
I got it for my birthday and put 150rounds through it, no problems at all! Was very snappy without the finger extension so I am going to buy another for my spare mag. The extension doesn't even take up room in the pocket when installed.
Pros ....
-Vanished in my pocket
-Flawless function
-Cheap! $350 with 2 mags and a DeSantis pocket holster.
-Great holster as part of the package.
-Amazingly accurate. Was holding 3" at 25' in the freezing rain and knee deep snow
Cons .....
-Magazine release is easy to release while firing (small gun, can fix with practice)
-Painful to clean the slide rails, they're so small! In fact the whole thing is hard to get into the cracks if you get any q-tip lint stuck in a crevice.
-.380 is pricey around here (Whitebox is $34.94 for 100rds defensive ammo was $40 for 20rds of corbon at one place, which I graciously passed up)
It's my first pocket pistol and I love it so far. I'm so used to my sp101 for every day carry, I had no idea how uncomfortable it was until I stopped wearing it. My back is actually sore from not sitting funny in the car! My wife loves the gun as well, and she just may end up keeping it when I can get my hands on an LC9. I think I may order one of those this weekend!
