Sarge Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Cabelas has them on sale for $200. I'm thinking of carrying one in a pocket or sneaky Pete holster. Any reason NOT to go buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If it's not the new custom model, DON'T get it. The trigger is a nightmare. The sights are ridiculous. The new custom has a much better trigger and sights. I have both. If it wasn't against the law, I'd throw the old one in the trash. Don't count on that gun to save your life. Ruger should be ashamed that they put that older model on the market in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trouble Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I have one of the older versions. It's not a custom carry pistol, but I wouldn't consider it junk. I've never had any problems with it. I do feel a little under gunned when carrying it. It's no different than any other pocket carry pistol, it's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't feel nearly as under gunned as you would being unarmed. Any gun is a quantum leap over no gun at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Better than a 1911 in the safe. I carry one quite often, as there are times you cannot dress around your normal CC. I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up at that price. Stuff some good HP rounds it it, and carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermobollocks Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I shoot a DAO J-frame better than an LCP, but DAO J-frames aren't 200 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eern Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I carry mine on and off duty. I love it. Don't expect a "pocket" gun to have an awesome trigger. I really like it as you can carry it in any attire, blue jeans, dress pants, shorts, whatever. I have never had a malfunction and have around 1000 rounds through mine. The mag extension is a must though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I carry one quite often. Yes, the trigger isn't the best and the sights are not good for much but with the ammo I have chosen it is head shots all day one handed at 7-10 yards. Wish I had gotten mine for that price. YMMV Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkreutz Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 At the range they're designed for, sights are unimportant (IMO) I've carried one for years in the warmer months. Beats trying to find a pointy stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixty Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I love mine. For what it is it's very useful and easy to carry. I personally don't think the trigger is that bad. I can easily double tap targets at 10 yards and nail head shots. I've even shot it out to 25 yards with no problems hitting the A zone. Yes the sights are weird but once you get used to them it just like shooting any other gun. Best thing about the first gen is with it not having raised sights they wont get caught on anything in your pocked. I would recommend getting the Hogue sleeve that pins onto the frame itself.

Hi-Power Jack Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 For a few more bucks, I love? my Kel-Tec P-11 .... Eleven (11) rounds of 9mm +P+ - fits in my shorts' pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixty Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 the lcp trigger is no where near as bad as a kel tec DA. sorry jack, just giving my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 the lcp trigger is no where near as bad as a kel tec DA. sorry jack, just giving my opinion I'm not familiar with the LCP ... And, the Kel-Tec P-11 has a long trigger pull, but it shoots accurately and 11 shots ... gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixty Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 another plus about the lcp is if your looking for something for you spouse to carry in their actual waistband then its a good choice. its the only gun my wife will carry on her persons since she can conceal it. We both use a sticky holster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerko Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 For $200 I'd say it's worth it. I have one and although there are better gun , this one is great for pocket carry or sneaky Pete holster. Trigger is long and heavy , but it smooth, just need to get used to it.

They opened at 9am and they were gone when I got there at 9:04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
