I don’t know if this is another problem for the LCP or not, but we received one in the store last week that had a problem with it.
The problem was with the magazine, when you attempted to place it in the mag well it would not slide in without pressing the mag release. This is not normal for most semi autos. Once the mag release was depressed the magazine slid past it and locked in place as any other semi auto. If the magazine was forced in it would either bend the lip on the magazine or break the mag release.
Wanting to verify that this was normal I called one of my distributors who happen to have some on the shelf awaiting shipment, they had the same results with these.
The customer who discovered the problem contacted Ruger the next morning. I also contacted Ruger and talked the service department.
The results are that I am sending the LCP back to Ruger for repair. They are not supposed to do this; the magazine should slide in without depressing the mag release.
It seems that Ruger has had some problems with the extended magazines locking in place or operating properly with the plastic mag release. To fix this they have changed to a steel mag release, thus at lease on some, creating a new problem.
The first three digits of the serial number on the ones I and my distributor checked were 372, If you have one of the later LCP’s and are having this problem contact Ruger service in Prescott, AZ to get it repaired.

As many of you know the machine gun shoot that was to be held close to Fort Morgan this fall has been canceled. A new location is being sought at this time by the Rocky Mountain Shooting Association. (If you see them at a gun show stop by and talk to them maybe even join or volunteer to pass out information.) There have been 1 location tossed out that I know of in the Kiowa area, but this is just rumor with no backing that I have been able to find.
If you know of someone who has several hundred thousand acres that we can shoot on let me know.
We will be closing at 3:30 PM on the September 15, 2009 to go to a meeting where we hope to find out more.
As a closing note we just picked up 1000 50 cal ammo cans. The ones that we have looked at so far have been in excellent shape with little to no rust, good seals on the lids. We have not washed them up yet (yeah they are dirty) cost is $6.00 each. Remember Wildfire Learning Institute members get a discount.
Hunting season is upon us Kathy and I are looking forward to some Antelope this fall. yum yum
