Ruger LCP: Junk or Jewel?

[Doc Safari]

Hi, Doc

How is the "sticktion" on that holster? Does it reliably stay in the pocket when you draw?

I can tell you the free Ruger holster I got with my LCP was worth every penny, it got slippery after a day of use.

Thanks
Andy

So far it's been good to go even after getting sweaty walking around the ranch all day.

They are snappy...

But with a higher rated recoil spring...at 17lbs. It is comfy..
Hogue grips for CTC laser grip helps.
Carry mines everywhere with a Black Label Holster LLC double trouble mag holster in my left pocket..

Where did you find a 17 lb recoil spring?

I have 300 rounds through mine now. Somewhere north of 150, it became reliable. In the LCP's defense, I was using some very poor Federal FMJ at first.

The supplied 6 round mag won't let the first round chamber without bumping the rear of the slide, so I called Ruger and they sent me another. I will test it tomorrow.

The outer recoil spring was kinked after the first 100 rounds, so I picked up a Wolfe 13 lb set from Midway when I ordered the 7 mags. I know everyone says the heavier spring reduces recoil, but the only difference I could see was slightly less energetic ejection.

The extended 7 round Ruger mags are definite winners, they let me get two fingers on the grip, but I carry it with the 6 rounder.

My mistake...
It is 13lbs. Not 17..

I also did a stainless steel guide rod.
