I decided I needed a pocket pistol so purchased a new LCP II. I tested it with 50 rounds of PMC 95gr. FMJ and 25 rounds of Hornady 90gr. Critical Defense. Shooting the PMC first I experienced six FTE and figured perhaps it didn't care for the ammo. I then fired the Hornady and things went smoothly until the third magazine. The slide, barrel, springs and take down pin flew off and landed in front of the shooting bench. I took the LCP II home and called Ruger Customer Service. My conversation with the nice lady was enjoyable and she asked me to send the pistol to them right away, she emailed a Fed Ex shipping label to me. I was notified by Fed Ex today that the pistol is on it's way back. I called Customer Support and inquired about what had been done to it. I was informed that the barrel, take down pin, take down pin detent, and slide stop have been replace. Customer service was fantastic. I have many Ruger rifles and revolvers and have never had a problem with them.
No, I wasn't limp wristing it. I shoot IDPA competition and don't have this problem.
I'll let you guys know how the repaired LCP works for me soon.
