LCP Break In

[Fishersjohn48]

Can anyone give me any tips on breaking in an LCP? Any additional info I need to know on Mag extensions etc.? Thanks

I have been 100% pleased with my LCP and other than the normal ramp polish that I do with all my semi-autos, I did nothing more than fire it to break it in. As for the magazine extensions, you should stay away from the Ruger provided extensions as they put undue stress on the magazine during recoil, which can cause the next round not to chamber. The only mag extensions that do not seem to cause this condition are the Pearce Grip extensions. You can find them here for $12.95 per 2 pack. Elsie Pea Store - Accessories for the Ruger LCP

I have fed just about every type of ammo through mine without any issues. I have settle on American Eagle 95gr for my practice ammo, and Remington Golden Saber 102gr for my SD ammo. Why these two choices? The American Eagle because it has been shown to consistently penetrate deeper than most other .380 FMJ ammo... If I ever need to use it for self defense. The Golden Sabers because they been shown in testing to have the weight, expansion and penetration attributes closest to 9mm Luger rounds.

Have fun with your LCP. I'm sure you will love it like I love mine.

You'll love it! I couldn't be happier with mine. It is a great addition to the family.

I just got mine a month ago and have put 50 rounds through it... so far 4 failures. I need to send it in for the recall work, so I am going to have them take a look at it while they are doing that. Hopefully we can get it 100%.

I brought mine home. Broke it down shot it clean with rem oil and put 50 blazers through it. I hate blazer but it's a good test ammo. No problems and they are fun. But bark a bit
