Question

[Zeilstra]

what does LCP stand for?

 

[Mike J]

Light Compact Pistol

I've always been under the understanding that LCP stands for "Light Carry Pistol" just as LCR supposedly stands for "Light Carry Revolver" I may be wrong, but that's what I've always been told.

Cheers!!

Originally, detractors said LCP stood for "Little Crappy Pistol". My experience proves them very, very wrong.

I will have a new LC9 when it comes out, and my "Little Crappy" Taurus PT709 will be involved as trade fodder.

Thank you

Thank you..........

Sounds reasonable. I assumed it was little compact pistol... light carry and light compact make more sense though.

These are some excerpts from the Ruger site. I would hope that they approve...

Thanks Sonny, I guess my memory isn't as good as it once was.

It actually stands for "Legendary Corporate Pilfering"

I thought it was "Little Copycat Pistol"

With the new LC9, they seem determined to do George Kelgren proud!

Now, now..... don't be a hater. I also have a 709. After some initial teething problems, a trip to Taurus, and a new ejector.... I am liking my 709 more and more....

I wouldn't be surprised if the LC9 didn't also have some initial teething issues. I might suggest waiting for at least 6 months for the bugs to be worked out.

Three trips to Florida for the 709 is beyond "initial teething problems", it's more like needing a new set of dentures.
