NEW LCP

[Guest janwbrown616]

Well, after being on several waiting list for SEVERAL months I finally got my LCP. I also purchased a KEL TEC bet clip for it. Rides just below the belt and looks like a knife clip. Great carry.

I've shot the KEL TEC a lot and seemed to like it ok, but, the LCP just felt better to me.

Took it to the range and ran a box thru it. WOW! 10 yards it prints a little low but a nice 4 inch group. It feeds everything well, and I can't ask for a better choice. (It'd be nice to see a stainless later on)

THe Kel Tec is a nice weapon, but, to me the Ruger is great!

This thread is worthless without pictures!!! Lets see how that keltec clip fits the LCP.

I'd also like to see pictures, especially of the belt clip. Also, where did you get your LCP?

[Guest eyebedam]

I love my little LCP. I would like to see pictures with the belt clip myself. I've been thinking of picking one up myself.

[saintsfanbrian]

I will be looking to get one around the 20th of this month. I might have to go ahead and call the dealer and give him a CC number to order it.

[Guest Major Pain]

I'm on a waiting list to. Also curious about the belt clip. Pics would be nice.--MP

And remember, if you change your mind and want to part with it, I'm right down the road!

nice little guns bought one friday would also like to see the belt clip

[Guest rufusgooch]

This is one of the best ccw's ever made. I got mine at cabellas. Less than 10 yds a four inch group is easy. I have a bersa 380 (3 inch barrel) that easily out shoots the ruger; but the little ruger fit any where.

A sound gun. I have a ruger single six three screw. And you can feel the quality in the 380 as soon as you touch it. Ruger hit a home run with this gun. Just remember what it is; 10 yds or less. Cor-bon 70s. Your safe.

Never tried to install one on an LCP, but here is what it looks like on a Kel Tec.

Some forums say the KelTec one doesn't work.

Found one that says it will; obviously, janwbrown616 says it will, so I guess it indeed does.

I looked into similar for most any gun when I first knew I would be carrying, the ClipDraw (http://www.clipdraw.com), but decided pretty early on I didn't want to be carrying any handgun, especially semi-auto DAO, without something covering the trigger.

I think I will pick up one of these little pieces when I see one in my area.

(you can never have too many guns...)

[Guest janwbrown616]

OK, guys, I"ll post the pix tomorrow. It really works fantastic. Puts the edge right below the belt line. I put the clip on in about 10 minutes and did not have to do anything to it.

I bought the LCP at GT Distributors. Also the Kel Tec Belt clip on the kel Tec Website for 9 bucks Plus about 6 for shipping....

[Guest janwbrown616]

OK, I"ll try and upload these to the post.

Duhhh <

OK guys, it looks like I need more than a High School diploma to upload these pix. No "Manage Attachment" button below my message box. SO, I'll work on this today....

[Guest janwbrown616]

SOrry, guys, the forum gods say I MAY NOT POST ATTACHMENTS". NOt sure why but I'll work on it.

[Guest janwbrown616]

Ok, With the help of Tungsten I"ve been able to put the LCP pix on the post. One pix is how it rides on the belt...

[Guest goomba]

I remmeber being told that there is an obscure law in TN that you have to carry your handgun in a holster... doesnt say what kind. but that it must be a holster....anybody else know anything about this?

oh.. Nice ruger... I've heard a lot of good things about the LCP...

[towerclimber37]

I've never heard of that law...that would be pretty wild if it's true! as far as I know, you can carry it any way you want to as long as you've got a permit.

I would say that walking around with it in your hand would be a very BAD way to do it though.

Not true.

I think I've seen that as a requirement in some other state(s) from browsing handgunlaw.us and similar.

Similar to the "no driving barefoot law" people often quote, which also doesn't exist.

As far as that clip though, while convenient and probably safe enough, I still wouldn't carry any semi-auto DAO (with no external safety) in any way where the trigger isn't covered. Seems that there would always be some chance, however slight, that something could get in that trigger guard and pull that trigger. Shirt tail, undershirt, roll of fat :-), grabbing it wrong in a hurry under stress. Whatever. I'll admit that for me that's probably more of a psychological response than a logical one.

Well if you'll look at the way the clip rides. The trigger would have to be pulled upward for anything to go off.

I understand your concerns. I think as long as the trigger guard is wider then the trigger you would not have to worry about it.

To each his own.

I carried a 45 cocked and locked in this position for many years, used rubber bands and packmyers rubber grips to keep it in place. Never had much of an issue. (Working UC, the BG never thought much about me with a gun tucked in my belt. A fancy holster would have raised his eyebrows tho)

Guess old habits die hard. No 45 now, just Glock, Walther and now the LCP. Carry the same way tho....

I agree. Except I would worry about it. Note I said it's more of a psychological than logical response on my part.

Well, to be fair on that, there is no "locked" on the LCP.

Looks great. Can't wait until I get my LCP (on two waiting lists ). Contrary to what I've read, the Kel Tec clip appears to fit perfect!

True, no safety or lock.

Just my preference, I understand yours also.
