When Ruger came out with their offering, the LCP, I decided to give one a try. Not a bad little gun. It's lines are much smoother than the Kel-tec P-3AT and the trigger is lighter. It's a good little shooter.

I'll run a couple hundred rounds through it before it rides along with me...

I had some time this morning so I ran 200 rounds through my LCP. I fired as fast as I could trying to make it fail.

I used 3 different types of ammo and ran 200 rounds through it.

Outside Temp: 25° F.
Distance: 21'

I ran a bore snake through the barrel after the first 100 rounds.
