Let me start this post by saying that I own a Ruger LCP .380. I like my little gun. I own 4 Rugers in all. They’re all wonderful guns.<\/p>\n
But lately, every time I read about an article about all the different .380s on the market, it seems that everyone refers to the Ruger LCP as “revolutionary” or, as this show refers to it<\/a>, a “Game Changer?”<\/p>\n I’m sorry, but I just can’t buy into that hyperbole. I had been researching pocket .380s since I first heard about the Colt Mustang. I also purchased an Accu-Tek .380 at a gun show. (True story – I bought and sold it on the same day to a friend. I broke even, financially, but that gun turned out to be a real P-O-S. So I really came out ahead). But in my mind, Kel-Tec<\/a> really started the pocket .380 trend when they introduced their P3AT<\/a> model, at least 2 years before Ruger produced the LCP. I think that if anyone should get credit for “changing the game”, it’s Kel-Tec.<\/p>\n As I stated earlier, I own an LCP. I had been looking at both guns, and was leaning towards the P3AT because of it’s lower price and availability. However, I wound up getting a fantastic deal on the LCP, so I bought it instead. But c’mon… Let’s give credit where credit is due. Even if that credit belongs to a smaller firearm company, and not the company whose advertising budget probably keeps most gun rags in business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let me start this post by saying that I own a Ruger LCP .380.
