Ruger LCP .380 ACP
King of the mouse guns— Lightweight Compact Pistol!
For Sturm, Ruger & Company, which was founded on the groundbreaking .22 semi-autopistol designed by founder William B. Ruger Sr. nearly half a century ago, small caliber autos and revolvers are a staple, but a .380ACP semi-auto is a gun of a different color. There has never been a .380ACP or any handgun of this category in the company’s history, until the LCP “Lightweight Compact Pistol” was introduced this year.
“One of the things Ruger has been doing the past couple of years at the NRA Show and other events,” explains Ken Jorgensen, Ruger’s Coordinator of Media Relations, “is called ‘Voice of the Customer,’ a series of surveys asking consumers what they would like to see. What we heard from a large number of people was a real demand for a reliable .380ACP. Over the last few years these customer survey results have contributed to several projects, including development of the LCP, and given the orders we have had for the gun since its introduction, the survey was right on target.”

This is a clone of the Kel Tec so toting it as some kind of compact carry Messiah is a real falsehood. Yes, the quality and concealability are undeniable but the technology is pirated. I own and have carried a Kel Tec for years. The gouges in it from my car keys and more than 50% loss of bluing are a testament to it’s value to me. Sure we would all like to pack a Smith and Wesson model 29 but it just is not practicle. I am glad for Ruger that they have been able to market a hot seller but the fact remains that in doing so they have created nothing that was not already there.
