The Ruger LCP (Lightweight Compact Pistol) is a subcompact, .380 ACP pocket pistol announced by Sturm, Ruger at the 2008 SHOT Show. The pistol lacks certain features required for sale in California or Massachusetts.

Overview

Weighing less than 10 ounces (280 g) this is Ruger's first entry into the field of tiny, ultra-light defensive pistols. LCP stands for "Light, Compact Pistol" and was designed in direct response to customer requests for a compact firearm for use by police as a back-up, and as a defensive handgun for civilian concealed carry needs.

The pistol has a glass-filled nylon frame and a through-hardened blued steel slide. It is similar in appearance to the Kel-Tec P3AT and uses a similar tension spring for the lightweight hammer, identical locked breech mechanism, and similar takedown method. The main differences are the Glock style extractor and the incorporation of an external slide stop. MSRP for the Ruger LCP is less than $330 (US).

The small two finger grip of this gun can be made more comfortable with the use of the Hogue HAND"ALL"® Jr. grip. The Kel-Tec P3AT pocket clip is compatible with the LCP. It is possible to tell if there is a round chambered by looking at the "view hole" next to the extractor.
