LCP Barrel Question

Hi,
New to this forum and just got a used LCP and noticed that when the slide is locked back you can move the barrel around. Is this normal? Seems okay when the slide is forward.
Thanks
Doug

Yes, prefectly normal. Welcome, and enjoy the LCP!

Bearcat,
Thanks for the info. Just thought it strange a barrel moving?!?


Doug

Once it is "locked up" it will be held still. With the slide back the guide rod springs are compressed and out of the way of the barrel, so it can move.

Thanks gramps,

We still haven't made it to the range to shoot it yet. Looking forward to it soon.

They are good guns for their niche. On a lonely Texas back road I literally ran into a herd of pigs. 10 DRT- one with a broke back and trying to make off the road- euthanized with what I had-LCP!
