I take it statistically. In the Czech Republic we usually have murder rates of 0.8 or 0.9 per 100,000 inhabitants. The United States is around 4.8. Even the most secure state of the United States, considering the statistics, New Hampshire, had 1.3 murders per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016...

When I live in a country that has a murder rate about six times lower than the United States, I do not want to bother with carrying a bigger gun every day. If I would have a chance to draw my gun if somebody attacked me, my chances of survival with a .380 would be better than with bare hands...

Do you think Ruger LCP will remain on the market in parallel with LCP II, or will it be completely replaced by Ruger LCP II? Now I have LCP Custom, I will carry it and shoot it on the range as long as it works reliably, and if it breaks one day, I would rather replace it with the new LCP...

I think, issues like this would be solved through local gun shop, where I bought the gun. They probably contact the importer, who replace the gun, or send it to Ruger. I'm not sure, but I think it works like this with forign firearms bought in Czech republic. I hope, my LCP will not break. LCP...

It's ok. :-) If they are known for good customer care in US, I hope they are trying to have good customer care worldwide. Anyway, If I have any issue with my LCP, I will provide some feedback about Ruger customer care outside US to this forum.

Well, I don't live in US, so I don't know, how good is Ruger's customer care in Europe. It will probably be slower than in US, because there is some importer company, which supplies more brands of forign firearms to our market. I will shoot my LCP as much as I like and if something breaks on my...

Hi, how many rounds can typical LCP/LCP custom withstand, before problems caused by gun wear appear or some part of the gun breaks completely? I have LCP Custom and I like to carry it frequently but I have read that these polymer pocket guns (not only LCP, also guns of other producers) usually...

Well, the price difference in Czech republic is not so huge. Glock 26 costs something like 140% of LCP Custom price. You know, Glock is produced by our neighbours in Austria, Ruger is imported from US. But I havent't said LCP Custom is a bad gun. I like it for carrying and I'm able to shoot it...

Yes, Glock is also polymer, but Glock 26 is much bigger than LCP. Although Glock 26 is also subcompact, its weight is approximately double in comparison to LCP Custom. So I carry LCP more frequently than G26, but shoot G26 more frequently than LCP. Standard magazine capacity for G26 is 10...

Hi, I have LCP custom and I carry it often. I noticed when I shoot LCP Custom it is getting dirty much faster than my Glock 26. When I disassemble my Glock after 100 rounds, it usually looks cleaner than LCP after 20 rounds. Does it happen with all small pistols they are getting dirty more than...

I have LCP Custom about 2 months. I feel racking the slide is smoehow hard sometimes. It is usually no problem for me if my hands aren't sweaty and slippery. Racking the slide on my Glock 26 is easier for me. I don't think the spring resistance is stronger on LCP custom than on G26, but such a...

I have LCP custom. It looks like I have hole in slide on the same place as you, but it looks smaller. It is probably partly covered by black surface finish.

I think it has somthing to do with barrel locking or barrel shape at the front part, where is the thinnest part of the barrel aproximatelly 0.4 inch from the front. In the position where i feel bigger resistance I also hear "click". BTW: Czech Republic has probably the most liberal gun...

Hi, I live in Czech Republic and I usually carry Glock 26 (gen 4), as Glocks are one of the most common guns on our market. I like my Glock but recently I decided to buy some pistol for ocasions when even the subcompact Glock 26 is too big. Czech Republic is Shall-Issue country, we are allowed...
