[QUOTE="B Gordon, post: 2679445, member: 29719"] I bought an LCP a couple of weeks ago from Academy for concealed carry use. What is your preferred pocket holster and preferred inside the waistband holster? Also, I watched a video on youtube concerning ammunition specifically for the LCP. Bought some of the Federal Hydrashok (?Hydroshock?) that is supposed to be a consistent performer in that weapon. The Original poster mentioned that his weapon has been trouble free. I bought a box of Winchester white box ammo to break in the pistol. While firing the first 50 rounds I had two failures to fully eject but the balance of the box worked properly. Also the Federal worked perfectly. I was able to induce a failure to fully eject a fired case by gripping the pistol very lightly with two fingers and squeezing the trigger. The grip was so light that the pistol almost flew out of my hand. It was a check of what I had heard in the past that a weak grip can sometimes bring on a stovepipe. Other than that it has worked great for me. One item I checked into is that you can buy 7 round magazines from Midway so I ordered one. Hopefully it will function reliably. While reading up on the LCP, there were several statements that +P ammunition is not to be utilized and will cause the weapon to break. [/QUOTE]
