LCP Problem

[louchia]

After about 400+/- rounds, I noticed a fracture on the metal insert that houses the trigger mechanism. The crack is at the top of the insert where it forms a rail that engages the slide. Appears to be metal fatigue.
Sent the gun back to Rugar. I'll report back in a few days after they look it over.
Anyone else have any similar problem?

I don't recall it ever being discussed on this Forum.

Nobody else has fired 400 rounds. :lol:

Seriously, this is interesting. I'll look forward to hearing that Ruger has cured this little issue.

WAYNO.

Too funny, WAYNO :mrgreen: I really do have about 250 thru mine, but 250 is a long way from 400...

I've had mine about 6 months. It's my EDC, so I make an effort to shoot a few rounds regularly. When I first took it to the range I shot 100-150 rounds of several different brands and my choice of HP to make sure of the reliability.
Just checked FED X . The package arrived in Prescot, Ar. Should be delivered to Rugar today. Should hear something early next week. I'll let you know.

I have 420 rounds through my LCP Gen2. Based on your post I just now inspected mine for a crack and didn't see one. Let us know what Ruger says.

I have an LCP I bought around five years or so ago with around 800 rds through it with no wear or cracks that I can find. It took that many rounds through the little thing before I felt reasonably competent with it.
