impulse control, Ruger LCP & I miss thr.

[gunsmith]

I had no intention of buying a new little Ruger, I ate breakfast in a casino and missed the big jackpot by one digit, oh well, won 400 bucks anyway.
(430 but I tipped the nice keno ladies)
All I was gonna do was get a holster for the 642 (gambling paid for that too) ...so I did, I got the holster and started talking guns, to the salesman, I inquired about the Ruger LCP (wanting to know how they are selling, like hotcakes I'm told).
Next thing I know I'm buying the LCP too.
So, has anyone else bought one/shot one yet?
I can't wait to put it on my ccw and get some holsters and fire it
it looks/feels like a great gun, I've never had a Keltec & this was only around 40 bucks more  then a similar Keltec.
Seems perfect for hot weather ccw ....so tiny!
sigh...if I wasn't banned from thr I could go there and ask.

I have a 1300 limit on my credit card, with 1180 in debt on it (but I keep making payments before they're due) and only 100 in checking account right now, I really should have just banked the dough.
(thats my impulse control problem)
But whats a guy to do? I held it in my hand and images of TSTHF ran through my head and me regretting not getting the LCP, even though I have an off paper pocket rocket in .25acp any way, and two snubbies .38/.357....oh well.

Holy smokes, it does seem Ruger ain't run by Bill no more.

That there is a CCW piece to give Kel-tec a run for its money.  MSRP of $330, I wonder at the street price?

[gunsmith]

it was 354$ with tax and no brady because I have a ccw.
Now I have to stock up on .380...oh wait!...I've had a box in storage for almost 10 years
You know you're a gun nut when you have had a box of ammo for ten years and not had a gun in that caliber.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I was charged $350 for mine, but I doubt it comes in before I leave for my internship in DC.

Holy crap, stores are gouging.

We're offering them at $289 as they trickle in.

Who is we?
And why are they not mFREE!

LCP = Little Copy Pistol 

Looks like a Kel-Tek, only costs more 

I'll stick to my NAA Guardian, thanks....

[gunsmith]

I looked at a keltec too, the LCP is prettier.
And really close in price, I would rather own a Ruger

"Looks like a Kel-Tek, only costs more  "

Not so; it's had quite a few changes. The extractor is MUCH improved, there's a "safer" mag catch... not tied in with the magazine, but very handy for inspection, and the frame is Ruger's fiberglass fill polymer. It's leaps and bounds stiffer than the keltec is.

[gunsmith]

well I shot it six times this morning.
(6 shots, to cold to shoot for me, it was snowing!)
I missed the jug I was shooting at (15 yards maybe?)
I didn't realize .380 could be so loud!
It seemed louder then the last time I shot my .40 Glock
and had kind of a snappy recoil.
I am going to have to practice a lot or its only use is a point blank range.

I hate not having an indoor range.

Huh, now if only they start offering factory EBRing on the Mini series rifles I might think they've moved on from that useless c### Bill Ruger's legacy.

Your problem is clear, you need a higher credit limit.
