Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 3701 for sale
What are the common problems with Ruger LCP 380?
Common issues include light primer strikes, limp wristing due to the small grip, a sharp trigger edge that bites the finger, failure to feed with rounds getting stuck between the breech face and chamber, takedown pin problems, and on the LCP II, magazines falling out due to weak mag springs.
Is the Ruger LCP 380 discontinued?
The original Ruger LCP .380 remains in production and is widely available, typically priced around $210. However, Ruger has discontinued the LCP II in .380, which causes confusion. The LCP II Lite Rack in .22 LR is still made. Check current retailer listings to confirm availability of specific models.
How much does LCP cost?
Ruger LCP pistols typically sell for around $210, with most listings ranging from $178 to $323. MSRP is around $289.99, with street prices considerably lower and average new prices near $252. Prices vary by retailer and variant, so check local dealers for current availability.
Is a Ruger LCP 380 a good gun?
Whether it's "good" depends on your needs. The LCP excels as a pocket pistol—ultra-compact, lightweight, and reliable. Tradeoffs include limited sights, six-round capacity, and reduced .380 velocity from the short barrel. It suits those prioritizing portability over firepower, and many owners find these compromises acceptable for everyday carry.
What is the recall on the Ruger LCP 380?
Ruger issued a recall in 2008 for early LCP pistols that could discharge if dropped with a round chambered. The fix involves retrofitting the pistol with a redesigned slide at no charge. Check your serial number against Ruger's recall notice or contact Ruger directly to determine if your pistol qualifies.
Which Ruger LCP is the best?
"Best" depends on your priorities. The original LCP maximizes concealability at around $210. The LCP II adds better sights and trigger. The LCP Max offers 11-round capacity in a slightly larger frame. All three remain in production—choose based on whether you prioritize size, shootability, or capacity.
Is it safe to carry a Ruger LCP with a round in the chamber?
Yes, carrying with a round chambered is safe on modern LCP models. Ruger incorporated multiple internal safeties including a hammer intercept notch. Note that current models like the LCP II use a single-action trigger system. If your pistol is from 2008 or earlier, verify it is not subject to the recall before carrying chambered.
Does Ruger have a lifetime warranty on their guns?
Ruger offers no formal written warranty but operates on an informal lifetime service policy. Contact their customer service, explain the issue, and they typically repair or rebuild firearms at no charge, including older models. The standard exception is discontinued products, which are not covered under this policy.
