Ruger LCP finger extension problems?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I know I am being paranoid but whenever I get a new/used gun I usually check online to see if their are recalls, service bulletins, etc. Seems to be some issues with the finger extensions on the LCP mags causing the mags to drop after shots. I haven't had that trouble yet but in a carry gun I want to be sure. Gonna shoot a 100 rounds through it to be for sure. Anyone else had any trouble with this? FYI this one was made in 09 serial prefix 372. It has the metal mag release.

Hopefully this is just an issue they had with some of the first runs. I don't know exactly what they have changed but I have been reading that they did a few updates to the design since it's debut. I don't forsee having any problems with it but I have only had a chance to shoot about two mags through it.

I've heard of LCP's dropping mags because of folks accidentally squeezing the mag release. It's never happened to me. I don't know how the finger extension could cause it.

Something about the followers hitting the mag release on the inside of the mag well in combination with the downward pressure applied to the mag by your finger........
