I wanted to post this.
I ordered a Ruger LCP when PSA had the special for $169. That is the great part, now the bad news. I finally got to the range and figured out I bought a single shot pistol.
I took 100 rounds of Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ and struggled to get through 50 rounds. For every round fired there was a failure to extract. Not just once but every round.
I have contacted Ruger and did a through inspection of my pistol and here is what I found.
Where the locking pin contacts the barrel block the front left is peened downward. I can only assume this is impeding unlocking the slide upon the firing of the pistol causing the malfunctions. I would post a picture but as the parts are so small I am not sure my phone would show the damage area.
I just wanted everyone to know if they are having problems to look at this area.
I will say this is the only LCP out of 5 or 6 that I have owned that has ever caused a problem.
