[QUOTE="trbii, post: 917390, member: 2449"] Wife wanted a pocket pistol, bought her the .380 LCP, took it out to Oil Capital to break it in/test for reliability earlier this year. Fired just over 200 rds. with the first FTF happening at round number 78. I'd disassembled, cleaned and lubed the pistol as instructed by the manual that came with it. I had got bored firing six shot strings and had started firing three quick shots into an IPSC target chest "A' zone , then passing the pistol over to my weak hand and firing the final three in the mag into the head "zone" from nine feet distance. It shot to the point of aim, plenty good . The failure-to-feed stoppages were quickly fixable by the "slightly withdraw-the slide-and-release", technique. It happened four times, as I recall after the first time, as the pistol got drier and dirtier. I felt pretty confident that a freshly cleaned and lubed Ruger LCP would run when needed. Hell, I might have caused the first failure with a weak grip after trying to pass it over to my weak hand too fast. The old "limp-wrist-screwed-up-the-slide-inertia", cause. I just noticed you posted about the LCR, not the LCP. My mistake, I was'nt trying to thread hijack, sorry. [/QUOTE]
