Saw my first 22 lr LCP at the Miami Gun Show last Saturday. Dealer was asking $349.99 but quickly came down to $265. Finally got it on the range this morning.
Shooting volume was limited due to only having the single 10 round mag that came with the gun. (Continuous reloading is tedious.) I have 4 more ordered, but only one available for today. I did manage to fire 280 rounds using eight different 22 lr loadings. This included CCI Mini-Mags in both 40 gr & 36 gr HP, Aguila 40 gr HV, Rem 40 gr HV, Blazer, Stingers, Rem Yellow Jackets and my every day go-to, Federal 36 gr bulk pack. I am happy to report, that with the exception of a single dud round (Remington, imagine that), there were no failures of any kind. Every round fed, fired and ejected and the slide locked open on empty every time.
(10 Rounds of Yellow Jackets)
All shooting was done standing with two hand hold at 7 yards. Accuracy was surprisingly good, considering I was more interested in dumping rounds down range to test function, rather than producing small groups. Once POA/POI is determined for a given round, shooting good groups is not difficult. I did find that due to the size and weight of the gun, trigger finger placement is more critical for proper trigger control than usual. Talking about the trigger, it felt MUCH better during live fire than it did dry firing at home.
(First 70 rds/10 rds each brands except Fed)
I have seen several posting where people are asking "what's it good for", well all I can say is that I've been home for about four hours and I'm still smiling, that's reason enough for me.
