If the pistol is reliable, shoots well for you and is easy to carry.....it's still a good carry option. Are there better options today? Sure, but what you have works, so unless you just want to spend money, keep and use what you have.
Thanks for a good review. I have a several guns (including an LCP Max and a couple of Glocks), but the original LCP is what I carry most often because I want/need my concealed carry to be TOTALLY concealed. The LCP fits in an incredibly small belt pouch that is easily hidden even by a t-shirt. There is nothing else like it (except for the II of course). It can easily fit in most pockets - but not tight jeans😁. And IMHO, six plus one of 380 of Hornady Critical Defense is quite sufficient for any personal defense situation. But carrying another magazine on your belt or in your pocket is easy.
Yeah, even the LCP II is thicker though. I like the P3AT and P32 too... but I'd prefer the LCP over the Kel Tecs anyway. I'm not a fan of how easily they rust though. I ordered parts for a friend and thought they'd be fine for at-least a week... so I decided to just leave them in the bag instead of opening/handling them to oil them (and risk losing parts)... but not even a week later (6 days) the entire slide was completely covered in rust. It wasn't pitting or anything like that, but that's still ridiculous. I think the seller washed the parts off without oiling them before shipping, but even so, no gun part should rust that easily. Not even crappy cold bluing rusts like that.
I got 3 lcp classics and I love them all..I carry 1 almost for almost every day of the week..They disappear in my pocket and have been super dependable!
I started with the original and have tried all of the variants. ALL. I stayed with the LCP custom. I added a belt clip and a Handall JR grip sleeve. Got rid of the others. I have big hands and the grip sleeve is not wider than the belt clip and makes it comfortable to practice. Because of my hand size, I also use a +1 magazine. Great set up.
I still carry mine a lot underwood xtp in the chamber and i mix my mags with underwood hardcast flat nose and the xtps,had an lcp2 and a max and was not accurate with either one the max bench rested shot 7inches low at 7 yards 3 different shooters,lcp 1 is just fine 100% reliable i havethe newsest version it actually has the same oversize extractor as the max.
I had the same experience. Identified the problem, sent me a box & got it remedied. I always liked the service w/Ruger Firearms in the good ol’ American West
I've always liked the Ruger. LcP upgraded to the L. C.P max That was 13 bullets and it still got the same field which has more capaci. Today I still carry my ruger l see p around it's just a newer model
I carried a s&w 642 in 38 spl for over a decade until the gun broke. I decided to go to the lcp max because of concealability AND increased capacity. I only question if the 380 round might be too anemic? Hopefully, not! The lcp lineup is extremely comfortable to carry and all models offer outstanding features.
I bought a Ruger LCP MAX a few months ago for deep carry at Academy and I looked at the LCP, LCP 2, and the LCP MAX and the Ruger LCP MAX just had to many improvements to overlook. But the other LCP’s are still viable alternatives especially if you need something less costly. Great video and if I didn’t have the money I would have bought the LCP and felt well armed for emergencies. Great video.
I love the LCP Max and carry mine often. I also sometimes carry my Smith and Wesson Bodyguard .380 because although it only holds 6+1, it's smaller and even easier to pocket carry than my Max. Either one will work just fine for protection.
I’m torn between this and a J-frame revolver for pocket carry. G19/ACRO/X300 is pretty much only viable for weekend carry when I don’t care about printing so much lol.
I got the Max 3 mth ago but have been carrying the original for 5 yrs I love the Max but went back to carrying the original. I'm an experience shooter so triggers and sights are no problem for me.I practice at 15 yrds 3 bullets a month and a hand size target is no challenge. I prefer the trigger and love I can cheat my draw. When trouble looks like it maybe walking my way I just slip my hand in my pocket and pass on by.
I'm not that good....BUT.. I can hit a bowling pin at 50 feet. That should be good enough for a mid torso hit. You would think they wouldn't be very accurate?...but they are!
I keep mine for discreet carry. There are times when a big bulge in my pocket from a Ruger EC9S is not approprate to the occaison. The LCP is the modern equivalent of the Browning Baby of times past.
I bought the LCP Custom about 7 years ago. Up till then I had carried for over 4 decades. 357 Magnum sometimes, but mostly .45 acp in 1911, both full size and Officers. I can't tell you how many times I did not bother belting up for the big boys. This LCP Custom goes with me everywhere, ALL summer. It is also the only gun I have ever fired in self defense, in all these years. A dog attack on me and the missus a few years ago. (BIG dog) and it worked like a charm. One shot, no harm to us. This is by far my favorite carry gun, and the only one I carry in summer, other than spring time walks here in Black bear country, (or blackberry picking time in late summer) when I carry a 357 loaded for bear. In winter belt and jacket days I carry a Turkish cloned CZ 75 Compact in 9x19. Since belting up and jackets are a hassle anyway, I don't mind shouldering it. But come summer shorts and T-shirts, the LCP is my gun.
I don’t have the ruger lcp but I have the keltec p32 and the p3at the design they copied but anyone that wants a great pocket can’t go wrong with the ruger or the keltecs I do prefer the p32 also the keltecs passed the military drop test I’m not sure if the ruger did
Good enough for EDC? In a word, yes. I’m a 76 y/o retired cop & have had my LCP for several years, hundreds of rounds of FMJ & HP downrange absent a single failure. My orbits are pretty tame, I no longer have to run into gunfire so this meets my needs during warm weather. I did p/u the LCP Max but the original still carries better in a pocket holster b/c it’s so light. Mine has a Hogue slip on grip sleeve & the seven round mag to accommodate my XLG hands.
@@gregwallace6159As a matter of fact it happened in November, 1974 when I got involved in a gunfight with three armed robbery suspects.

Yup, another cop hater who feels brave tossing barbs from the safety of a keyboard. I just had the privilege of speaking with UA-camrs Lionquest Fitness & HR Funk concerning some of my OIS experiences.
T-shirt and shorts is the norm in south Florida - and my Ruger LCP 1st gen is perfect for it. When the receiver rusts from heat/humidity/my body, Ruger happily replaces it under the lifetime warranty. Love this little guy!
@@tcarp1616 It IS kept clean, and Ballistol is it's closest friend, however, being close to the body's heat as well as the hot and humid south Florida air, the chemical reaction takes place. I will note that I've had the LCP since it came out, and the receiver has been replaced only once so far.
@@usernamemykel its your sweat that will cause the rust. but you obviously arent cleaning it like it should be if you are letting it rust so bad that it needs replaced, lol.
Ruger upgraded the trigger of the LCP 1 in 2012, the 2012 to current production LCP1 is much better in my opinion. The "original" LCP 1 (2008 - 2012) had an even longer DA trigger, and shorter sights.
These little micro-carries are great for those times that there are "rules" but YOU are the one that wants to be going home at the end of the day instead of a dirtball if that situation should arise...
Extremely light and perfect for ankle holster. It’s better then no gun at all. Conceal holster are uncomfortable and over the belt is not practical in today’s society. Best part of an ankle holster, you forget you carrying. Super lightweight carry. Cabela’s has them for $219.
I carry one with laser sights, the pachmayr style grip sleeve, and an aftermarket spring. It is accurate enough to have taken out a couple of snakes at about five yards.
But, does that really matter? Like ok bad guy starts shooting in Walmart. Is your goal to get you and your family out or go look for the bad guy? And with an LCP you’re still armed.
How comfortable do you feel carrying that +1 in the chamber with it being so small for pocket carry? I only ask because working in the ER i saw my fair share of accidental discharges. Just curious, but great video!
If you're watching this video on a phone, then you probably couldn't tell. I'm watching this thing in ultra High definition, and I can see it clearly.@@stevedriscoll2539
I would not buy a 32 acp unless I someone sold it cheap like less then 150 or less and I. Working shape. The 32 acp I don't feel should be big bucks gun to own.
This!, love how easy it is to carry when I choose to do so. I just wish the magazines had a follower-button for loading like the Mark 4. Desantis makes a fantastic kydex for this gun for edc.
I just brought a brand new LCP original and my first time out shooting it jammed every 2-3 shots. So far i'm not feeling good about trusting my life to it.
@@tcarp1616 not yet. i have now put 100 rounds through it and its improving somewhat. I am going to give it a good cleaning and lube now. Should I have lubed it before I first shot it ?
Did you polish the feed ramp.. its steep and can cause an issue if not polished.. also don't waist money on hollow point .. they dont open up anyway in a short barrel so wasted money and they jam on steep ramps
Sure why not? Name another 380 that only weighs 9oz or less? The only other thing I can think of is the Keltec 380 which is 8oz, even lighter but also slightly worse trigger and grip but easily carryable all day everyday even with a bigger gun
@@tcarp1616 Yes, it also had a hammer fracture which broke in half when it was in my holster. If I didn't check my handgun daily who knows how long, I would have carried it incapable of firing.
If you own the LCP it's time to trade up for the LCP Max. In warm weather, it's the best EDC option in 380. I carry the 12-round mag which is double the capacity of the LCP.
I agree, to a point, and frequently carry the MAX myself. However, there is a substantial weight difference between a fully-loaded MAX and this one, and there will be times that, for some carriers, that this could be a consideration. So, consider the LCP-MAX, but keep the original.;-)
Not if you actually pocket-carry.. LCP Max is noticeably thicker than the OG LCP. and the sights are more prone to snag when deploying from the pocket. That puts it in that middle ground where you might as well step up to one of the micro 9's... 365 Hellcat etc...
@branthopolis It is thicker, and I would have preferred the more rudimentary sights of the earlier versions, but it is still a far cry from being in Hellcat or P365 territory.
LCP is too small for me but my wife's hands are smaller. I opted for an EC9s as my first carry gun. Mostly because I didn't feel comfortable putting a Glock IWB. At this point I've lost that fear and will likely go for a G43X because I'm more confident in my carry routine. The gun doesn't go into my pants unless it's holstered. That being said...I would not recommend a glock or any gun without a manual safety to go into a handbag or purse. It's too easy to grab for keys and inadvertently squeeze that trigger.
Very reliable, use one while in brazil. saved my life
I bought one about 2 months ago. For me, it’s perfect carry gun. Tried a glock 42 and hated it. Wanted a pocket gun and this is it. Love it
Its easier to pull the pin out if you pull the slide back a few millimeters
it still is one of the best conceal options
Agree

@@privateer177666I got one with a loose mag release so I was a little worried I’m glad to hear they handle things well
Super dependable. Never failed to fire. Like any other weapon in the sense that you need to shoot it enough where you know how it operates.
I still have my Gen1. It gets occasional carry. My Optic equipped Max9 is my EDC in a Cargo Pocket Holster.
The ruger 380s hit! And sure its good enough. 6+1 is enough u can also get another magazine.
Yes sir!
My first regular concealed carry gun. Now have an LCP Max. Not super accurate, but in close quarters, it'll do.

Unless you're against someone with body armor, it doesn't matter. .380 works just as well as 9mm.
The original LCP is nice but the trigger on the 2/max is so good(in comparison) it is hard to go back. I'm no pro shooter so the little things help.

It is thicker, and I would have preferred the more rudimentary sights of the earlier versions, but it is still a far cry from being in Hellcat or P365 territory.
lol the LCP Max is a micro compact 9 nerfed for 380. It is not a true pocket pistol like this.
Not very accurate unless you're in an elevator. The II and the Max on the other hand have greatly improved triggers.
Not shooting someone at 25 yards
@@tcarp1616 I wouldn't use that at 10 yards.
LCP is too small for me but my wife's hands are smaller. I opted for an EC9s as my first carry gun. Mostly because I didn't feel comfortable putting a Glock IWB. At this point I've lost that fear and will likely go for a G43X because I'm more confident in my carry routine. The gun doesn't go into my pants unless it's holstered. That being said...I would not recommend a glock or any gun without a manual safety to go into a handbag or purse. It's too easy to grab for keys and inadvertently squeeze that trigger.
It doesn’t need to be in a purse unless it’s in a holster, I disagree
CCW purse has its on compartment and holster built in @@tcarp1616
He means pointblank stop
I have one and a S&W bodyguard ....S&W Much better!

Sig P238 MUCH better than both!!!

@@kevinrichardson8859uh uhhhh. What is this, a penis length contest😂😂😂
@@kevinrichardson8859gotta love those sig fanbois.
Dude,no one is taking anyone's grandma hostage..
Ok
No. They are no good anymore. I will put a can outside. Come by and drop your LCPs in them. No questions asked.
I want one of these, I saw one in a local gun shop and it was so tiny looking yet 8 .380 in your face is going to hurt.
Let alone 6 of them to the face
