Ruger LCP

I just got a Ruger LCP, specifically because I was going after my CCW.

[Update on CCW - I took the class and passed!  I just have to visit the courthouse and turn in my paperwork and I should be good to go]

I've heard great things about Keltec P3AT and similar if not better things about the Ruger so I decided to go with the Ruger.  Actually, a big part of it was thanks to Nutnfancy's review of the LCP.








So I found it for a great great price at the local gun show and snagged the last one.  Prices were varying up to another $45 so it pays to run to every booth and check them all before deciding.

On the first day I got it, I ran 100 rounds of Winchester 92 grain FMJ Target/Range ammo through it.  Since then, I've shot another 155 rounds.








So far so good but I have come into some odd charging problems with certain ammo.  I'll try to explain it more in another video but you can probably get the idea from the videos above.

Let me know if you have a Ruger LCP and what you think of it.  Overall I notice that people seem to like it a lot and I don't regret it at all.

Got my first gun!

About 2 months ago I got my first gun. I went to the big ol' gun show and found the one I wanted. It's something I've always wanted and really wanted to get it before it got banned. So, can you guess what I got?

Yup, an AR15. It's a DPMS Panther Classic 16. It's so stock and plain but I plan on adding some stuff like new Magpul P Mags, the Magpul collapsible stock, quadrail handrail and that's just for starters. Nothing like some new furniture to really turn the look around. Maybe even that dark green color...

Anyway, the wife now loves shooting, who knew! Well, most of you know it's pretty contagious. She also wants her own gun now, preferably a .22 handgun. We planned on getting the Ruger MKIII because it's the most accurate but she really prefers the style of the Sig Mosquito. We aren't going to be shooting competitions, just for plinking and having fun so it's ok.

But that brings me to a new idea. I want to get my CCW permit soon and I want a good conceal carry handgun. I read some great things about revolvers and I thought the S&W 642 would be the one for me. I don't need the latest whiz bang shooter just 5-6 rounds and easy to conceal and use. .38 should be good for both my wife and myself.

But looking around online, this is what I've been looking at:

- Ruger LCR

- Taurus Judge

- S&W 642

- Taurus 1911 (just for fun but it's probably more than I want to pay for)

But in the end, I want compact, a good knockdown caliber, high quality, cheap as possible.

Do you have any tips for me?

Oh, and I'll be posting pics and vids of my new AR soon.
