Sturm Ruger Firearms – Ruger Light Compact Pistol (LCP)
Sturm Ruger Firearms – General Info and History of Company
Sometimes you need a small, unobtrusive, reliable pistol. In cases of concealed carry, a small, thin, smooth-edged pistol without an exposed hammer is best. That is exactly what the Ruger Light Compact Pistol (LCP) offers. With a virtually indestructible glass-filled nylon frame and a through-hardened, blued steel slide, the Ruger LCP may be small, but it’s tough as nails.
Safety is a big priority for the Ruger firearms engineers, and to that end, they have incorporated a “view hole” next to the extractor, to tell if there is a round in the chamber. This is enormously important, since the leading cause of accidental firearms discharges is “I didn’t know it was loaded”. With the view hole, all it takes is a quick glance, and there is no doubt.
The Ruger LCP comes in .380 caliber, with a six round magazine, and a barrel length of 2.8 inches. It weighs a mere 9.4 ounces, and has a width of .82 inches, which makes it perfect for use as a concealed carry or back-up gun. The LCP features fixed sights and a checkered grip with a contoured groove for your thumb.
Trigger pull on the Ruger LCP is 5.6 ounces. Recoil is surprisingly manageable, due to the fact that the Ruger LCP uses a locked-breech system, like larger pistols, instead of the blowback principle, like so many smaller pistols.
The level of reliability displayed by the Ruger LCP is exceptional, but like any pistol, it functions best with high quality ammo in good condition. In field tests by NRA certified pistol experts, the Ruger LCP functioned and shot without flaw, regardless of the type of ammo used; jacketed hollowpoint, round nose full metal jacket, flat nose full metal jacket, polymer tip powerball, hollow cavity, homogenous copper hollow cavity, and cast lead flat nose bullet ammunition. Everything fed, fired, and ejected without fail.
In defensive situations, heavier bullets are more desirable for the Ruger LCP, because they penetrate more deeply. The two biggest variables affecting penetration are velocity and weight. Since the Ruger LCP has a barrel length of only 2.8 inches, there isn’t a lot of length for pressure to build behind the bullet, so a defensive shooter would want to maximize the other variable: bullet weight.
Ideally, one of the best ways to carry a Ruger LCP is in a small, unobtrusive inside-the-waistband holster. Preferably one made of a soft material, like suede. Some concealed carry permit holding individuals prefer to carry a Ruger LCP in an ankle holster.
When it comes to firearms, especially concealed carry guns and backup guns, failure is not an option. Firearms are unique in this respect. If a wrench doesn’t work, it isn’t imperative. Get another wrench. It isn’t a life or death situation. If you need your pistol, chances are you really NEED your pistol! Chances are high that your life depends on it. You cannot afford to have a misfire or failure to feed. That is where the long, proven history of reliability among Ruger firearms comes into play. The Ruger LCP is no exception. In field tests and at the range, the Ruger LCP is exceedingly reliable, which is exactly what you want if you ever have to draw your concealed carry pistol or backup gun.
All in all, the Ruger LCP is a great little pistol: well made, reliable, light and convenient. It is as close to the perfect concealed carry gun as 21st century firearms engineering can achieve.

The Gun $9.99 At a secret arms-design contest in Stalin’s Soviet Union, army technicians submitted a stubby rifle with a curved magazine. Dubbed the AK-47, it was selected as the Eastern Bloc’s standard arm. Scoffed at in the Pentagon as crude and unimpressive, it was in fact a breakthrough—a compact automatic that could be mastered by almost anyone, last decades in the field, and would rarely jam. Manufactured by tens of millions in planned economies, it became first an instrument of repression and then the most lethal weapon of the Cold War. Soon it was in the hands of terrorists.In a searing examination of modern conflict and official folly, C. J. Chivers mixes meticulous historical research, investigative reporting, and battlefield reportage to illuminate the origins of the world’s most abundant firearm and the consequences of its spread. The result, a tour de force of history and storytelling, sweeps through the miniaturization and distribution of automatic firepower, and puts an iconic object in fuller context than ever before. The Gun dismantles myths as it moves from the naïve optimism of the Industrial Revolution through the treacherous milieu of the Soviet Union to the inside records of the Taliban. Chivers tells of the 19th-century inventor in Indianapolis who designs a Civil War killing machine, insisting that more-efficient slaughter will save lives. A German attaché who observes British machine guns killing Islamic warriors along the Nile advises his government to amass the weapons that would later flatten British ranks in World War I. In communist Hungary, a locksmith acquires an AK-47 to help wrest his country from the Kremlin’s yoke, beginning a journey to the gallows. The Pentagon suppresses the results of firing tests on severed human heads that might have prevented faulty rifles from being rushed to G.I.s in Vietnam. In Africa, a millennial madman arms abducted children and turns them on their neighbors, setting his country ablaze. Neither pro-gun nor anti-gun, The Gun builds to a terrifying sequence, in which a young man who confronts a trio of assassins is shattered by 23 bullets at close range. The man survives to ask questions that Chivers examines with rigor and flair. Throughout, The Gun animates unforgettable characters—inventors, salesmen, heroes, megalomaniacs, racists, dictators, gunrunners, terrorists, child soldiers, government careerists, and fools. Drawing from years of research, interviews, and from declassified records revealed for the first time, he presents a richly human account of an evolution in the very experience of war. |
