My guess is that it won't reliably feed and return to battery anywhere near 100 percent. I think they're borderline to begin with. I have two early LCP and went with two pound heavier springs to make them a bit better when either hot or dirty from extended firing. Yes, I know that's not really...

It sounds like you're carrying it or storing it without a round chambered? Everybody does it their own way but with the long heavy trigger on a LCP I'd just keep a round chambered. Also note the abrasive tape as noted above might help getting a grip.

I'm not sure you can reload 9mm ammo practice much cheaper then bulk buys if you price shop. Equation changes for other calibers. My favorite 9mm practice ammo is Winchester "NATO" 124 grain. Using Hornady Critical Defense as carry ammo right now but will use any quality name brand if it's not...

It's also possible, note I typed possible, that the gun is actually shooting low. Another thing is some guns and I don't specifically know that model is how the sights are setup. Some of the newer defensive oriented platform seem to be set for a dead center cover the bullseye with the front dot...

I know back in "the day" there were some custom PPC revolvers built with short cylinder that could only chamber flush seated wadcutters. The barrel extended back to close the BC gap. And I think a 52 S&W was wadcutter only.

OK, then I'll go back to Huh?

As posted above, he may have been thinking rifle rather than revolver.

Huh?

My daily carry is a Glock 36, it's been very rugged and reliable. Survives being rolled around on, dirt, sweat, etc. Sometimes a bit large and then it's the LCP, which is nowhere near as well made but works for the price point.

I seriously doubt those are going anywhere near the posted velocity coming out of a LCP. Not had my chronograph out in years but my gut says knock about 30 percent at least off those numbers might be more realistic. I have never shot any .22 rimfire ammo in any gun ever that did not have a small...

You will find a "mixed" reception to using .22 rimfire for self defense. It or possibly a .25 are the worst of possible choices. That said, if it's what you own and can handle it's way better than the proverbial "sharp stick"....OK depending on the stick and who's poking you with it, maybe not...

I have had two squib loads in my life both in .38 wadcutters. One was a factory and the other a purchased reload from a reputable reloading business, also some anemic .22 that required checking if they cleared the barrel. Now I can sort of see in a rapid fire setting....maybe...firing a second...

I have a Ruger with a decocker and it makes me cringe every time I use it, something about that hammer falling toward a live round just feels wrong. It's the only gun I own with one.

For a while I carried a compact Kimber actually had two different ones that were both totally unreliable and made trips back to the factory, will never have another. That has nothing to do with anything other than I hate the brand now and have 1911 style experience. Getting to the point ... much...
