I haven't seen any good feedback on this......so I thought I would ask you all. I had my first range trip today with my new LCP. I was really impressed with it's overall accuracy, and ability to digest just about anything I dumped in it.
I had no FTF or FTE. In fact, it really didn't seen to have a preference for ANY particular round--taking them all in stride. 260 rounds of a bit of everything in my supplies of .380.
However, after about 100 rounds.......when it was getting really hot.......I had shot a full mag and went back to reload. But the slide was locked tight. No persuasion seemed to help. It was totally empty and had dropped the hammer on an empty chamber. Not knowing what else to try, I managed to pull the takedown pin. The gun came right apart, and nothing looked amiss inside.
On reassembly, nothing else happened strangely. In fact, the range session continued with yet more rounds and perfect function.
Anyone else had this happen? Incidentally, I did not disassemble the LCP when I got it. The previous owner had done only 20 rounds and decided the gun was not for him--no cleaning was done that I could see. Then maybe it was a tad on the dry side for being so new?
After 260 rounds, I had it home for a clean and lube.......nothing amiss, but it was pretty dry inside. What do you all think it was? (incidentally, it will never be as dry as it was again!) I was too impatient to get it out and play with it!
