On the bigger thumpers, I usually look to Hogue Tamer grips.

I only have one full sized semi auto, a CZ 75 Omega in 9mm. It is quite accurate and easy to shoot well due to the wider grip to accommodate the double stack magazine. The medium/small is the LC9. and the mini is the LCP, which is my EDC gun. I always used to look upon the .380 as sub par as a...

I think the gun is designed to stay open when an empty magazine is in the gun.

I did call Ruger and sure enough they sent me a new firing pin, no charge. I installed it and now it is running fine again. In a side note; just on a hunch, I looked it over and noticed that there were 2 sharp edges on the end where the pin actually indents the case for firing. I took a fine...

I was having a ton of trouble with this little bugger until I gave up and sent it back. When it came back (within a week) it was running like a champ, all the problems were gone.....until it didn't. A lot of misfires with ammo that had been working fine. So I decided that perhaps the firing...

Elmer Keith would love it. Especially with a 300 grain bullet.

I am getting to be an old man at 84 and counting, and have shot mostly revolvers all my life because I find them to be more accurate and also because I don't have to search for the brass. In 2001 Mi, became a "shall issue" state for concealed carry, so I started shooting semi auto handguns...

I will vouch for their customer service. I have a LCPII in .22 that I was having a lot of trouble with. Failure to fire, failure to feed, even failure to reset the trigger. So I bought a Galloway spring set and in attempting to replace the hammer spring, I got the damned thing apart and...

I did put the 16-4 on Gunbroker and it went for $1249. It was just the gun with the correct grips, no box or paper work. I had fired it perhaps 200 times and it was is excellent condition.

Thanks, that's probably the best bet.

OK Rugersmiths I have a question: Is there any difference in the barrels of the various versions of the LCP .380 pistol? I am thinking of buying an LCP barrel on Ebay for a project I am thinking about and I want to know if it will work in my LCP before I buy it. Thanks for any help on this..

I have one too. I bought it when they came out a number of years ago. It is one of my favorite handguns. A joy to shoot, and cheap to handload. I developed a load with a 118 gr. cast bullet, which I think was more of a 32/20 bullet. Whatever twist Ruger had in them stabilized the 118 gr...

Thanks guys.

I have a real nice S&W model 16-4 in .32 Mg. 6" bbl w/full underlug that I bought from a guy about 15 years ago who decided that it was too much gun for a .32 Mg. I'd say it is about 98% cosmetically and 100% mechanically. Now I am getting rid of some guns before my inheritors have to do it, as...
