Ruger LCP Failure

[twyacht]

Could the feed ramp be an issue with the last couple of rounds not having enough spring pressure from the mag? I'm just asking because I like the initial reviews  and may get one, but as with new models, I like to read reviews from those that put em' through the paces to work out any issues.

I know ammo and mags are factors, but as always I like to read the "real deal" from this forum and get an honest assessment.

I have a Springfield 1911 that shot FMJ all day, But, Hollowpoints would not feed up the ramp everytime until I had it polished and given a more generous angle.

Just my 2 cents before taxes, .0002 cents net.

Thank you.

With mine it fed every round just fine just like I have come to expect from a Ruger.

Lik emy 10/22 and SR9 it would spit bullets as fast as I pulled the trigger but each ejected case was desroyed.

I found a thread on the Ruger forum, which explains the damaged brass. Ruger has addressed the issue by machining out a small area on the frame and this modification is included on all of the guns leaving the factory, now. I took a file to mine.

I had to admit that I never even looked at the cases, since I don't reload .380s (I once tried reloading .32 ACPs and ultimately decided life was too short). Next time I fire the gun, I'll take a look!

The one time I got to shoot my LCP so far (a) I was trying to focus on holding onto the Noisy Cricket, and (b) the shooter next to me had to move because I was pinging casings 8-10 feet. I looked, but it sure didn't say CETME on the side of the LCP!

Based on my years of experience, many “failure” are shooter caused.  There are some that are related to the weapon but most can be corrected by the shooter being familiar with the firearm.

Hi cody6.0,

I bought my LCP on April 5th and it is already back at Ruger.
Other than the fact that I was able to get this thing for $270 + tax I wish I would have passed.

No worries. Ruger will take care of you.

Wish I had LCP with a low ser.#.

Mine works great! Your will too.

Fun little gun.

I just hope I get it back before I send in my SR9.

You made many good points Michael.  I have seen many a forum say what junk Kimbers are!  All I know is my Ultra Carry 2 has been one heck of a gun for me!

Thank you Michael what you said needed to be said by someone that people actually listen to. I have said what you said on alot of forums about all the "Kimber Problems" My Desert Warrior has not had one problem in many thousand rounds yet if you read some of these posts you would think Kimber is just about done. So the 10 different people that post their guns have problems don't speak for the 1000's that dont post and "don't need" to cause their guns run great. And then after those ten say they have a problem everyone who has a bad mag, primer, extractor, grip, or havent ever cleaned their guns, now have one of the horrible guns. Imperfections are made at times, but not every problem is all the company or the guns fault. I know that I just said everything you said again, I feel better thank you. BTW when do we get to see pics of your S&W Gunsite with the "Answer" on it.
