Anyone see the latest article on the Ruger LCP in American Rifleman? Up until I read it I had seriously thought of buying one; now I am not too sure.
Which issue of the Rifleman did you see the article in....? I can't seem to find it.Fox Mike":27xt8z32 said:Anyone see the latest article on the Ruger LCP in American Rifleman? Up until I read it I had seriously thought of buying one; now I am not too sure.
Hillbilly Jim":1be9kgj5 said:All I can figure is that Wiley is getting soft and a little addled. The theme of concealed carry results in small, light, pistols designed for close in use.
Nowhere in the article was this stressed. Instead we had comments about nonexistant sights, bad recoil and 25 yard groups.
Poor article and shame on the Riflemen's editorial staff for letting this article go to print without changes.
Only at the end of the article are some reasonable comments about intended use were made. This is in an yellow tinted box, so we dont know who wrote it, may have been an added comments by staff or by Clapp.
Poor feeding and hangups should be reported!

My LCP has performed flawlessly with several different kinds of ammo.
The sights leave a lot to be desired, but once I got used to the trigger pull, I can hit 8" steel plates pretty consitently at 7 yards.

Although the VW may be a fine car, it's not designed to do that... but that doesn't make it "bad"...
JMHO.
