[Guest roamer]

does anybody know of a gun shop in north georgia that has a ruger lcp in stock ? thanks for any help.

The Rabbi can ship to your FFL :-D

Phantom6 ordered some yesterday, gonna take about 2 weeks to get them. I guess they are out of stock everywhere. If you want one from him, better get your name on the list.

I heard the lady at GT distributors on Rossville Blvd. say that they are getting a couple in, but that was 2 weeks ago. Might be worth giving them a call.

Whats the hold up on these LCP's? I saw one at the gun show yesturday that was marked "for display only".

Is ruger that behind or is there a problem with them?

Everyone wants one. For some reason factories can put out 4397898754985968 brand new automobile each day, but only 3 guns. Go figure.

[Guest cartophilis]

I know of 10 people in my town who are waiting on them. Ive been to 8 or so gunshops in the last few weeks and have found none. Its kinda suspecious to me. Has anyone had problems with them?

Good old supply and demand.Right now the supply cannot keep up with the demand.Give it time.I remember when the Beretta TomCats first came out,same thing.

[Guest Natosha]

Well I am fine with waiting. My husband picked up the Ruger SR9 and it is on recall. I would rather wait until a few batches go out to make sure all the bugs are worked out. I really do want one though.

[LazyAce]

Even the large Sporting store chain here in Nebraska has one for display only and is taking orders with no time frame guarantee.

[GLOCKMEISTER]

Since they have been relaesed I have begged borrowed and stole to get a dozen or so of them. I have sold every one I have gotten the same day I received it.... they are the hottest gun in the industry right now and are well worth it. As of yesterday I have about 950 thru mine without any probelm at all..... perfect!

[GLOCKMEISTER]

btw.... were not accepting orders for them, nor keeping a waiting list... first come first served.

I personally wouldnt prepay for one because no dealer can gaurantee when of if they will see one any time soon... even us! They are that hard to get.

[Guest cartophilis]

Hows the accuracy?

I purchased two LCPs from a place in Rhode Island. They had 5 on-hand when I called - http://www.dlshootingsupplies.com/index.htm. My FFL asked who's butt they kissed to get that many... One was for my wife but she doesn't like it. I have one available that has roughly 50 rounds through it if anyone is interested.

Here are couple of issues I have noticed...

If you have long fingers you may have trouble making the gun go "bang". It has a very long trigger pull and long fingers seem to stop the motion by hitting the receiver during the pull. My short digits had no problem and I could put the rounds where I wanted them at the 5' to 7' range where this gun will be used.

It jumps around in your hand and you need a very tight grip. My wife just couldn't get it to set still for her.

[Guest jwp]

We're getting about 4 or 5 a week and so far we haven't seen any problems with them except for one of the very first ones we sold had a small burr on the chamber which was addressed quite easily.

[edellson]

Good advice is to wait on the lcp till the bugs are worked out and the price comes down.

[Guest cartophilis]

Yeah, i think ill wait, or get me another AMT Back up.............

what bugs?

[Guest Phantom6]

Waiting for the price to come down? Heck we sell 'em for $315 and haven't had a complaint on the price yet. Some shops sell 'em for MSRP+ but that's just plain TACKY.

[Guest jwp]

I heard that Gander had them tagged at $399!

[Guest janwbrown616]

They had a few at the gun show in East Ridge a few weeks ago. Wanted 379.00 for them....

I'm on two waiting list. Bentons has had a few ($300.00), but not enough.

Just waiting.....

[Marswolf]

Good grief. I don't think I'd pay more for one than a P3AT. Around here that's about $270.

[Guest janwbrown616]

Nope, I'd probably go 300.00, but I'm not that big a hurry...

After the flurry goes by, they'll be on the market. I"ll stick with my PPK until then.

Would not get rid of the PPK, but I"d like to have something small just to put in the pocket on occasion. Kel Tec is OK, but I think the re-sale on the Ruger would be better.

The "hold up" is the fact that Ruger introduced the LCP at SHOT 08 in Vegas last Feb. and by the second day of the show, had orders in hand that were 3 times their estimated production for the first year.

Its a nice little gun that will be on allocation from distributors to dealers for the next few years.

Depends. Apparently Rugers don't like Gold Dots. That's a minus. I'd have to rate the Ruger and Kel-Tec as about the same. The Ruger seems to have a little more style and of course a "name" if that matters to someone, but I buy guns based on performance, design, and usability. I wouldn't pay a premium for the name.
