Ruger 380 LCP Opinions

What did you determine the cause of the problem was? Mine is my summer carry pistol and I shoot it weekly to stay current. It has never had a malfunction of any kind. I feel confident that this pistol will work flawlessly if I ever need it.
I am a little concerned about going back to a more substantial firearm for cooler weather. Carrying the LCP has kind of spoiled me.

The Hellcat looks to be an LCP/38T cross. Comes with TWO stainless steel mags and a holster. That's fifty bucks folks. I bought an LCP and sent it back for failure to fire due to off center primer strikes. It's been ok but now the extractor looks like it's missing a point.

Another P-3AT clone but this one is even closer to the P-3AT than the LCP is.
It even has the Kel-Tec style extractor.
Here the latest from Ruger 'customer service'. This from the supervisor: There is NO warranty on the gun and she can't guarantee they will replace it even though this is the third time it's going back to them.
And some people complain about Taurus.
BTW, the last gun I bought from Ruger was also a piece of junk, a .22 Mark III.

Kel-Tec would have replaced it without question.Here the latest from Ruger 'customer service'. This from the supervisor: There is NO warranty on the gun and she can't guarantee they will replace it even though this is the third time it's going back to them.

The problem, IMO, is that you have a lemon, and you need to demand that they replace it outright.

I would inform them that you're posting this on all the big firearms forums, and post a link to this thread.
Because we are very much watching how Ruger deals with you, my friend. If they stiff you, it is obviously a strike against Ruger.
Any gun that has to go back 3x is a lemon, i mean come on.

I informed them I'd be telling the gun world about their scam, but they didn't seem to care. Believe me, if they screw me on this it will cost them a small fortune in advertising to make up for the negative PR I'm going to give them.
The first time back to Ruger it jammed for them so they 'fixed' it. The second time they told me it didn't jam for them, therefore there's no problem. I knew I was being jerked around this morning on the phone when they start to ask me what factory ammo I use.
For Pete's sake, what's their cost to give me a new LCP, $75? They've spent that on UPS fees sending it back and forth.

Here is the best pocket holster for my LCP that I have found (and I've tried three others).

I'll chime in with my opinion. I bought the gun about a 3 weeks ago and have carried it to basically everywhere I went because of how easy it is to put in your pocket. I have the desantis nemesis holster. As for the range I've took it there once and had no problem firing round ball ammo (50 rounds so far). I did notice the JHP gold-dots did get hung up on the feed ramp when I first bought it but now seem to load fine. I also polished the feep ramp after the first 50 rounds. I feel very comfortable carry this as my only gun in most situations. I would perfer my glock but when I'm wearing dress clothes this gun defiantly works for what it was designed for.

no complaints with my LCP. A little over a year now. just upped the spring by 2 pounds for $8.00 from Wolf Springs. sorry to hear problems with them, although they have been popping up from its inception. i don't think it's the design, there must be a flaw somewhere in the manufacturing that occurs sporadically. no flaws to date with mine. this is probably the worst customer service from ruger i've heard of to date.
I use either the blackhawk size 1 holster or deantis nemesis. Both have their ups and downs. The blackhawk is more comfortable, prints less and stays in the pocket better, but is less water resistant. The nemesis is very water resistant, holds onto the gun better, but prints more, chaffs my leg after a long day and can come out with the gun if not pulled at the right angle.

Am i alone in using a P3AT pocket clip and carrying mine IWB?
No you're not alone, a friend of mine carries his that way also. It's such a personal choice on what works for you, that you really need to try a few different methods before you settle on the one that's best for you.
The photo in post #73 works for me, but that was my third holster.
No, I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't realize the benefits of a holster.
Just messing with you.I don't like the gun clips because first off they ugly up my pretty guns. They don't do anything to cover up the trigger, and don't protect the gun from my nasty sweat, b.o. and lent. The only thing they do is keep the gun in place and correctly oriented.

Holster: am using a pocket holster by: Galco. Fits easily into pants pocket or if wearing a jacket...super easily there.
To Paul7: am sorry to hear you are experiencing so many problems with your LCP.
dumb question: when did you buy it originally?

LCP Pocket-Holster: I'm very happy with this one:

Much less "sweaty" on my leg than a Nemesis or a Blackhawk for my LCP. (I have a Blackhawk size 3 for pocket-carry of my 442, and think it's "best" for me for that one, I've yet to find the Nemesis good for much, except those few wide pockets where the Blackhawk with the 442 won't stay upright).

My GF is allegedly getting me this holster for my LCP w/crimson trace for my birthday:
It's $50 on the crimson trace website.

Hi val:
I carry in a back pocket holster, but if I carried on my belt I'd certainly consider this CTC holster... It's neat looking, and was obviously molded perfectly for the LWS w/CT.
Nice.
