[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2849310, member: 7815"] I've had several short range sessions recently with the LCP, bringing it up to 650 rounds! It still runs 100% with all hollowpoints, even when fired weak hand. It also has digested all ball ammo except the soft-loaded Prvi Partizan. If you have a .380 I recommend [B]CCI Blazer Brass 95 gr FMJ[/B] for practice -- it is accurate, readily available online, and loaded fairly hot. My LCP loves it. I painted the front sight red. I used undercoats of white enamel paint, then fluorescent red enamel paint on top. This pops out visually and is a genuine improvement to the sight picture. Between the decent (post-2013) trigger and the upgraded sights, the LCP ends up as a more usable and shootable gun than you might predict. The recent practice makes me feel good about carrying it, and so do the ballistics tests I've read of .380 defense ammo that uses the moderate-expansion Hornady XTP bullet (which is what I carry). This is now my favorite Ruger ever, overtaking an SP101 snubby from some years ago that I never, ever should have sold... :( [/QUOTE]
