"True Texan" is official

Sorry if I'm late on this, but it seems like the Governor Rick Perry special LCP is an official Ruger model and not just a local make up.

Wow! a 9.5 lb LCP! I knew Ruger's spec sheets were off a few ounces, but that is incredible!

Well, it has the "tropical" barrel. Texas and all...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the point of this? Is it a typo, a joke, or...?

Just a typo that has turned into a joke. The listed weight is 150.40 oz. which is all out of proportion to what the lcp should weigh.

The gun is real. It's in tribute to the Texas governor who recently fended off a coyote attack with an LCP.

I'd imagine the real weight is more like 15.40 ounces.

In case some folks don't know the story about the GUV, and his Ruger .380 LCP, here it is.

That is that new space age cast iron model. With it being a Texan model you have to think a second.
