I haven't used TAP in the LCP, but I did use .45 TAP recently and liked it a lot.
Don't use .45 TAP in your LCP.

If I did, LCP would stand for Little Carbonized Pieces.

Well, I finally decided what ammo to get when I finally get my LCP but now I need to know about extra mags.  Are they available, if so, who has them?  I think I read where someone uses Kel-Tec .380 mags and they work - any other input on this.

Sorry for the thread drift.

Get real LCP mags from Midway.  I know most Kel parts are not compatible with the LCP and I think the Kel mags have some issue or other with the release on the Ruger.

Probably not the solution you are looking for when you experience feeding problems with certain ammo, but here is a post over at Pawpaw you might find interesting:

It does sorta beg the question as to whether or not they have a factory crimp die at the Remington ammo factory...

I wonder if the chamber is too tight, even if it's only .0001". It may be worth taking a casting and measuring it.
