Somewhere it's warm
The LC380 has been out for a little while now and I'm wondering what any owners think of it. I'm NOT talking about the LCP but the 380 version of the LC9. Sadly I haven't had mine out in a long while but when I first got it it compared well with my Bersa Thunder 380.
 
I recently got the LC380. It hasn't been fired yet. I disassembled the slide and when trying to reassemble the hole that the retainer pin goes in seems to be blocked with part of the frame? I attached a photo, any help??

there are better folks than me here who will explain the exact problem... I suspect you don't have the recoil spring and rod set just right but it could be a number of other things.... but I'm sure it is simple....
 
I went to look at my wife's LC380 to see if I could help you. Unfortunately, your pistol is an LCP chambered in .380 (shown on the left in the photo below) and not an LC380 (shown on the right in the photo below) which is a version of the LC9 chambered in .380.

I'm going to bet the new guy, only one post, went back and jumped past the 5 or 8 pages of warnings in the owner's manual and actually got around to reading the disassembly and re-assembly instructions and figured it out on his own... I've had more trouble getting these 'Glock type' pistols apart and back together than anything else in my life. I really don't know how you folks put up with it. For years I thought the Ruger P series pistols were as simple as could be... then I bought a Sig P226...... the one issue with the Rugers was having to push that ejector thingy in the mag well down before removing the slide and keeping it down when putting the slide back on... I've been told by more than one Glock fanatic how simple they are to break down and so far I have not found the secret... and I own three of them. I do own one Ruger striker fired pistol, LC9s-pro and I do remember there was some difficulty with it but I don't have it on hand to figure out at the moment.
