Three things Carl said need correcting.
1. There are a million bigillian LCPs in the world. Let's cool it with this talk that the chassis is fragile. That's not true.
Additionally and whats noteworthy here, your mention of the PICO chassis being interchangeable is true. But you miss that Kel Tec created the changeable chassis system. As the LCP is a copy of the P3AT, you too can remove the LCP chassis with just a push of the pins. I know. I've done it.
2. Underwood is a boutique loader because it isn't FN (Winchester), it isn't Vista Outdoors (Speer/CCI/Federal), the Freedom Group (Remington/Barnes), Hornady. Underwood and boutique loaders don't make their own bullets. They don't make their own cases. They buy bullets from Speer/Federal/FN/Hornady, buy cases from all over, and load it to their pressure and FPS. That's it. That's pretty dang boutique and a very insignificant foot print on the US ammunition market.
3. That's cool you don't recognize that +P .380 doesn't exist. You know who does? FN (Winchester), Vista Outdoors (Speer/CCI/Federal), the Freedom Group (Remington/Barnes), Hornady. Vista alone makes almost all the US ammunition and is the Salt City plant operator that provides all the DOD ammunition.
Those companies recognize ammunition at SAAMI specs. That's cool that Underwood doesn't. Wonder what they know that Vista doesn't?
Yes millions of LCP's out there and millions of owners that hardly even shoot them on a regular basis. I bet a large part of that number, do not even shoot these guns more than a 100 rds a year.
Hardly wrong there Wild Cat. I bet I have owned more LCP's than you have a shot thousands of rounds through them. I know them very well. And I can tell you for a fact that frames crack, rails split and on and on. Many pictures on this.
No I did not miss that the Keltec frame can be interchanged. I own a P32. What Underwood and Lehigh know more than that Vista Outdoors etc. is that there is a market for higher pressure in the 380 and do not focus on producing millions of rounds in bulk.
And get off the nonsense that higher pressure ammo does not exist, or can be made to shoot safely. It is there, it does it's job very well. And they are designing better bullets for that caliber all the time.
If you have spent any amount of serious time shooting the 380 then you would not be so narrow mined about the ammo. Get over the Sammi specs for that caliber. And again, MAYBE they need to include it. Why haven't they?????? My God, it has become a very popular round. Maybe they should get off their butt and get with the Program.
And for God sake man, get out and actually shoot some of the Boutique ammo.
And NO I will not cool it about the frame cracks simply because you say so. I had too many fail and that is a fact! A light weight aluminum frame polymer pistol shot in a little gun is a huge explosion taking place. It is not hard to figure out. Obviously you have not shot a LCP very often.
Sorry if I sound a little upset. But I love shooting and the Pocket gun and Micro 9mm are my niche. I love them, appreciate them and know their limitations. Not to mention a whole lot of money on the guns and ammo during the past decade.
