Ruger LCP

[Perforate]

What's the highest velocity load available in .380 ACP for my LCP?

Check out the Buffalo Bore website. It may be just what you're looking for. 90gr 380@1200fps

Thanks. Yes it seems that Buffalo Bore has the best loadings for this caliber. I usually carry my H&K P30L in .40 S&W, however in certain limited situations a small auto is all that can be concealed. Either way though I'm very satisfied with my LCP.

It's your pistol to do with as you please, but why would you want to try to turn your LCP into a 9mm? If you want a 9mm, get a 9mm. The LCP owner's manual specifically advises against the use of+P ammunition. Maybe you want an LC9.

I've shot Buffalo Bore in my LCP and carry them as a defensive load. However I don't shoot them on a regular basis, and I replaced the stock 9lb Ruger recoil spring with a Wolff 13 lb recoil spring.

I'm not trying to turn it into an 9mm Luger.

I have the 13lb spring as well.

I'm carrying my P30L in an shoulder rig atm. I rarely ever carry my LCP, it's for those short and t-shirt scenarios.

Just about any fmj 380 round from the LCP will penetrate 16" plus in gelatin.

Some examples - Magtech 9mm JSP Flat 95gr 1345 fps standard pressure
Corbon 9mm DPX 95gr 1300 fps standard pressure

Buffalo Bore .380 - 90 grains at 1200? Not quite a 9mm? Not far off.

4. Keltec---1100 fps

WOW, that is is hot as I can load the Kel Tec P3AT or Ruger LCP, and at the threshold of case bulges, with the best powder I can find.

I normally do not like to run that close to a case bulge, but what can I do with feed ramp intrusion to .27 ~ .29" ?

Anyone having trouble with ejection of a spent rds, in the Ruger LCP .380 ACP?
I have about 150 rds. thru it with occasional ejection problems. Shot Win., Federal, TulAmmo seems to work the best. The pistol is new, may need more rds. thru it I hope.
Thanks

It may need to "break in" a little more but I doubt it. I have shot about 1000 rounds through my Ruger LCP and have never had a ejection failure. It's a great little pocket gun.
