PROBLEM:
With .380 ammo nearly impossible to buy I am not shooting my LCP in order to save what little ammo I have for actual CCW carry purposes and maybe allow myself 5 or 10 rounds of practice every few months. That's not good for a variety of reasons. SOLUTION: Is it feasible for Ruger to offer a "drop-in/drop-on" conversion kit for the LCP in .22LR? I think it's a great idea and would allow for more "trigger time" and then swap on the original .380 parts back for CCW & HD BENEFITS: LCP owners will shoot more. Ruger will sell more LCPs and the kits. I wrote Ruger this morning about it. Let's see if they respond! Thoughts? |

I've found .380 ammo easier than I can find an LCP, so I don't think Ruger is worried about selling more (at least right now). I found 2 in stock this weekend at the Tampa gunshow for $500...yup, double their cost. Let Ruger catch up on manufacturing before they can think about conversion kits. Your best bet is to find an aftermarket mfg and make this suggestion to them, IMO. |

I said to a shooter next to me and said , now, only if this was a 22lr I would have 500+ rounds to shoot now. Since I was shooting my S&W Model 34-1 . |
