Ruger LCP Overview |
||
The Ruger LCP, which stands for Lightweight Compact Pistol, is really a new kind of auto handgun for Sturm Ruger & Company. Ruger was founded, cut their manufacturing teeth, and gained notoriety from their superb Mark I .22LR semi-automatic pistol, then the Bear Cat, and Single Six lines. Sure, through the years they have produced other semi-auto gun designs, but the brand new LCP is actually Ruger’s first authentic “pocket auto”. First introduced in 2006, this fine little .380 ACP came on the scene after a lot of other pocket .380’s were already on the market. For some other gun manufacturers, arriving into the market late might have been a death sentence, but for Ruger, it was no big deal. They would have rather waited for perfection, than to have prematurely introduced a substandard weapon. The LCP is a DAO (double action only) pistol that is squarely targeted at the concealed carry firearms market. Being a lightweight glass-filled nylon frame that is reinforced with a steel slip, this small but potent Ruger weighs about just 9.4 ounces (when empty). I own two of these fine little guns, and whether in an ankle holster, a billfold holster, or dropped into a pocket, sometimes I have to check and see if it is actually there, or if I have forgotten it at home. It’s a great little piece. I feel so strongly about it, that if I didn’t own one today, I would own one by tonight. |
