I purchased my Ruger LCP II from Bud's. It is my regular pocket carry. Have had no problems with the gun. It does jump a little bit is to be expected from such a light gun. Purchase from Buds was hassle-free. Delivery was prompt. Would purchase from them again.

Ruger LC380 is spot on accurate. Light weight and fairly easy to CC. My wife liked it so much, we bought another one.
Have had them for 7 years.

Took a little long for my preferred FFL to become one of Bud's preferred FFL. ONCE that happened I placed my order and everything went great and quick. Will use Bud's again.

Really like this for my summer carry. Very shootable gun. I find most 380s are to small to shoot well however this one shoots very well and still conceal well in the waist. Also like the real sights on this model versus the fixed sights on the ec9s Ruger is producing now.

Bud's was great to deal with like always. This is a sweet shooting 380. Low recoil and good size for concealed carry.

Bud's service and shipping are awesome.
The Ruger LC380 has very soft recoil, is easy to rack,(almost as easy as the S&W Shield 380EZ) and is very easy to shoot accurately at self defense distances.
If you're concerned about all the safeties on the pistol don't be....they don't get in the way and it will give you a little more piece of mind.
The Ruger LC380 that I have cycles and fires CCI Aluminum cased ammunition without any issues and brass cased ammo cycles just like it should too.

After 6 months of owning I have to say this is a really nice pistol, especially for the money. It's just a sweet shooter and I haven't had a problem yet. The DA trigger (it's not terrible, just long) and magazine disconnect (can be removed) are a negative for me but I knew those things before buying. If they would just upgrade the trigger like the LC9S it would be perfect.

I have been carrying a Ruger LCP 380 for quite some time (several years). It is an excellent firearm and had performed perfectly. And it has held up to my right front pocket environment very well. I like Ruger products and have never had a problem with any of them that I have owned over the last 40+ years. I have owned rifles, revolvers, and now pistols. I am confident this new Ruger LC 380 will hold up as well as the firearms I have owner for many years. And Bud's Guns has provided excellent sales as well.

Bought this little.380 for my girlfriend. It's her first gun ever. After a day at the range I had her hitting the bullseye occasionally. It's a really nice EDC! Light accurate and small enough! Ruger is always good quality at an affordable price! I really appreciate the added features of the LC .380 over the LCP. Nice sights, safety, and slide lock. Comes with a little key that will totally disable the trigger as well. Unique to say the least! Overall very pleased with this purchase!

I bought this gun on impulse when it was on sale. When it arrived, I was disappointed with how cheap it felt...including a very loose slide and bad trigger. In fact, the DAO plastic-feeling trigger has such a long throw and the gun overall feels so cheap that I call it the 'Fisher-Price' model. Took it to the range and fired 150 rounds of Federal A/E FMJ's and had no issues. It actually fires fairly well and consistent...and it does conceal nicely. But the best part is my daughter loves it...says it fits her hand perfectly and the low recoil is very nice. It's hers now....all's well that ends well, I suppose. Bud's service was flawless. I've already bought another gun from Bud's...and I'll buy another after that.

The Ruger LC380 is a good gun for the money. I have put about 200 rounds threw it and it worked with out any FTF or FTE. At 50 feet all shots were with in 3 inches. Buds as always ships very fast has the best prices and keeps you informed about your order.

Great little gun for the price. The double action trigger is not that bad. There are also some upgrades available to make it better.

Gun is what i expected. Very soft shooting pistol. The girlfriend loves shooting this pistol over her 9mm since shes a bit recoil sensitive. This is the second purchase ive made from buds and both times their shipping was pretty slow. Ordered on a sunday. The firearm shipped just before the next weekend so it sat in the mail over the weekend. I think they can improve there. But buds definately has the best prices. Overall im happy with my purchase.

The gun fits the hand well, and the grip is good. I love the size because it is not too small, but small enough to easily conceal. The only, and biggest, problem I have with this gun is the trigger. Some might like the long and heavy trigger pull, but I do not. The rest has one click before the actual reset click that I had to get used to. The trigger is something to get used to. Overall the gun is a good price, small, and concealable. If Ruger could get a better trigger in it, it would be a top gun!

For me, this is a great gun. It is a bit bigger than the usual pocket gun but smaller than the normal service pistol. This gives me the grip I need. Old age and weak hands cause using most 9mm from my being able to rack the slide. This 380 works great for me and being a 380 does not bother me. I have complete confidence in the Precision one ammo. Besides, I would much rather have a 380 I can operate than a 9mm that I can't.

The Ruger LC380 is the ideal concealed-carry handgun for the feminine hand. I have purchased the LC380 for my daughters after we established that they simply were not comfortable with the smaller LCP. They found that the somewhat larger frame and grip of the LC380 allowed them to grasp the weapon with all three fingers and thumb, as opposed to having to hold the LCP with just two fingers and a thumb. This added level of control made the LC380 "their gun." Too, the slide return spring, being designed for the lighter recoil .380 ACP round as opposed to the 9mm round of the LC9 made cocking the slide a bit easier for them. In short, all three daughters own an LC380 now, and are quite comfortable with it, both carrying and shooting.

Bought this for my oldest daughter and she loves it. Lightweight, reliable and a good handling caliber for her. Slide racks quite easily, more safeties than you can shake a stick at and since it shares aftermarket items with the LC9 there are plentiful options. Very shootable nothing like the LCP. Good starter gun for young women gettung into shooting or fine for an experienced shooter who wants a lite recoiling pistol. P.S. not a pocket gun, get a good belt, a holster and this one disappears.

Cons Shoots a tad high for me came with only one mag- that doesn't drop free came with a blemish Finish has a strange redish hue in direct light Pros Great ergonomics & looks soft recoil zero malfunctions after two trips to the range good sights for a gun this size Had a S&W Bodyguard then Bersa Thunder, now this. This is better than both by far. Would buy again.

Gun feels top heavy compared to a Glock 42 and I find it difficult to consistenly shoot a double action only gun. Because the gun is very compact my trigger finger tends to hit my support hand fingers at the end of the trigger pull. That said, the gun is surprisingly accurate if you can hold it steady during the long trigger pull. Also it seems very well made. In sum, a good gun that I need to learn to shoot, but you might find to your liking. Buds service was great per usual.

Great little gun! Overall very satisfied. My only critiques are: only comes with one magazine, and the need to use the internal lock key to field strip the pistol. As with most Ruger short pistols it shoots well, no malfunctions in the first 150 rounds, very accurate at 0-15 meters and feels good in the hand. Much better than the LCP380, but this gun does not conceal easily in a front pants pocket like the LCP. Will most likely purchase a good inside the waistband holster, any LC9 holster works so selection is abundant. And lastly, as always another hassle free purchase from BUDS!

So far it sucks its shooting a foot low even locked in a vice at 3 feet it shoots 6" low. So I well have it looked at and maybe I well return it. I well give an update.

Bud's service was great as usual. This gun is pretty much an exact copy of the LC9, using a slightly different magazine & modified breech. The only difference in the magazine is that the LC380 mag has a spacer that runs along the spine to reduce the depth and account for the shorter cartridge. Just be careful not to get the magazines mixed up. The barrel/breech changes are not so obvious, and I'm not a gunsmith so I can't tell you exactly what they are, but common sense tells you that they would be different. There may be some other internal changes, but place the 2 guns side by side, and you can't tell them apart. They should have done this a long time ago! This gun is superior to the LCP, with real sights and an extra round in the magazine. It's larger size & added weight are a big plus as far as handling & recoil go. It just feels better in the hand and shoots better. I love it, thank you Mr. Ruger!
