So my newly bought Ruger Lcp has been having some issues. 20%

So your gun isn't working and you haven't tried anything to solve it?

Switch your ammo first. Then stop riding the slide.

I'd also first check your ammo. My cousin has a Ruger LCP that has never failed to chamber a round, and my wife has a S&W Bodyguard that has also never failed to chamber a round.

How hard is 'ride the slide forward'? Regardless, I wouldn't think that would be enough to set back a bullet. What ammo?

2nd vote for try another ammo and call Ruger if it does it to both.

>Ruger doesn't have a good track record for customer service and it seems like this is a "non" problem in their eyes

Baloney. Ruger has some of the very best customer service in the firearms industry. Call 1 (603) 865-2442 on Monday and tell them what the problem is.

Case setback is not normal on anything unless you chambered the round 50 times and ball shouldn't be catching on anything. You do not ride the slide either, that will make it hang. Another vote for "switch ammo" and just use a brisk rack and release. Disassemble and clean it, check for debris, try another magazine. If you can visibly see a wear point on the feed ramp or something then ask Ruger about it.

It's not hard, but riding the slide in a semi is not the way it's supposed to work. I use Sig elite performance ammunition which is recommended with the Lcp.

This is what I'm worried about. I'm using ammo recommended by Ruger and it's not chambering it unless I ride the slide. Even then it doesn't chamber it all the way and I have to hit the slide forward.
>>33591303
I contacted them and told them the issue. They said sometimes you need to hit the slide home to chamber a round. That isn't right at all.

It's the opposite for me. If I full stroke the slide it hangs the round. If I ride it slowly it chambers it fine.

>buying a ruger

you could have just found a dog turd on the street, it's the same quality

For a nominal fee I'm sure they will sell you the II, which fixes everything they failed at whilst making the first series.

Buy an lcp2 faggot. Mine works flawlessly.

1) Give it a thorough cleaning. Disassemble the magazine and clean that, too. You'd be shocked how much gunk you'll pull out of a new gun.
2) Put 500-800 rounds through it before you worry. All semiautos need that for a break-in period.
3) It's a really light gun. Be sure you're not limpwristing it.
