Rugers are POS. They feel cheap in your hands like Timex compared to a swiss watch SIG. I only have one or should I say my boy does a 10/22. Won't even extract 100% of the time. Save your money unless broke IMO.

And like a Timex, Rugers take a licken and keep on ticken. I own quite a few Rugers and every one has been a fine gun, there's nothing fancy about them, they're just a hard working gun that's accurate and dependable.
The great thing about gun enthusiasts is we all have differing opinions on gun makers, models, calibers etc. but in the end the thing we all agree on is that we all love to shoot.
Absolutely.:awe: That's why I always say find a good shop with demo's on hand so you can try. It's weird how one guy will love shooting something and friend will hate it. But you generally do get what you pay for.
If you hit someone like a rapist with a .22 they will try to flee. They are not going to take the time to examine the wound and chance getting shot again.
Anyone have an opinion on the Glock 22 .40 S&W? I'm thinking about getting one of these, but am a noob with guns.
hm.. what do you think about LCR in .357 but use .38specials?
would this be less recoil since it's heavier?
plus gives you the option of using .357, say in the last chamber?

It's my duty carry, and I love it. FAR too big for concealed carry in my opinion, but maybe that's just me.
Same here, it's my duty as well. In the winter I carry it, not to bad to conceal wearing a coat.
couldnt you just clean by spraying gun cleaner down the ejector opening? then use an air compressor and blow all liquid/dirt/debris down and out the handle?
Alright. I went ahead and got the Ruger LCP and already having problems. I didnt load any ammo into it at first so I have no idea how well it feeds.
I field stripped it so I could get an idea of how it works and how simple it is to clean. When putting it back together I made sure everything was in the right place and followed the directions closely. But now it wont feed ammo. Rounds dont come up out of the magazine properly and when I manually load one it wont let the slide close all the way.
After fishing it out I disassembled the thing again and dont see any issues. There is an ample amount of oil but not too much. Nothing is sticking. Also, when the slide is locked back the barrel feels really loose and wobbley. I know thats not right. But when I take it apart everything is sitting nice and neat where it should be.
I could, but sooner or later I need to know how to disassemble the gun. And when its put back together properly it should feed properly.
Also, it doesnt look like this sucker allows you to manually load one round. BUT, with a lot of work I got it to feed from the magazine, poorly.
I may need to take it to my local gunsmith and have something adjusted.
can you make a video of what happens?
have you watched any disassembly/reassembly videos online?
When you say the rounds don't come up out of the magazine properly, can you elaborate? Did you disassemble the mag? the spring and follower should push the round up tight against the lips of the mag, even with just one round.
Cant make a video. Watched plenty online, but they are poor quality and make it seem like there should never be a problem with reassembly.
The bullet (a hydra shok) just goes straight forward and sticks in the well, instead of angling up and properly going inside the barrel.
When disasembled the bullets fit just fine in the barrel. The magazine works fine, and so does the spare. I have not meddled with either of them.
