I've been having a failure to extract on my ruger lcp every 20 rounds or so. This has happened with multiple brands of ammo and the gun was thoroughly cleaned. Has anyone else had this problem
Are you limp wristing?

Firmly grasp the pistol, walk to the counter and trade it for something that isn't a $200 .380 piece of shit

im not limp wrist. On the recoil the extractor is dragging it down into the gun instead of out. It gets wedged in there pretty good. I am ready to dump the gun.

most sub-compacts are unreliable.
You can contact ruger, i hear they have pretty good customer support

can you give me a visual example of limp wristing? the fuck does this mean
>>34505641
Limp wristing is not resisting the force of the gun when fired. This causes the gun to sort of flop backwards instead of recoil properly. This absorbs a lot of energy and can cause the slide to not slide back all the way, causing failures to feed or failures to extract.
>>34505641
instead of keeping your hand and arm rigid, you move with the gun absorbing the recoil and not allowing the slide/extractor to work properly

Stop expecting TULA to function as well as brass cased shit in an LCP of all things.
I expect tula to perform "flawlessly" in my 9mm P320c, SR9 and P290RS, hardly one problem in several hundreds of rounds. But that's because they arent mouseguns.
Protip:
Don't go from Steel case to brass before cleaning or it will get worse
blow-by crud will increase the chances of jam 100x because the brass will collect the crud in the chamber.

when you fire a semi-auto, if your wrist is limp, (allowing for movement of the gun while cycling) it can inhibit the operation of the slide making a good extraction, ejection, and chambering of the next round.

This makes sense . Thanks. never considered that.

this. change ammo. mine like magtec .380

>This has happened with multiple brands of ammo
What kinds of ammo, though? Some guns have problems with aluminum and steel case ammo, as is pictured in your image. Steel and aluminum cases have a different coefficient of friction, which can cause issues getting hung up in magazines or feeding. Steel also expands less than brass, which lets the chamber get dirtier than the gun is designed for (since steel casings don't expand enough to fully seal off the chamber), often causing sticky extraction after a little bit of shooting. The issue is really exaggerated when you switch from shooting steel to shooting brass because the steel case ammo would have gotten the chamber dirtier than usual, and when the brass expands more than the steel had been expanding, the result is often sticky extraction.

I doubt that you can induce a limpwrist malfunction on an LCP, they are just too snappy. I wasn't even aware of it until my runt-sized 12 year old step-brother fired my Glock 19 and got constant malfunctions because he couldn't fit his hand around the gun and had to hold it out-of-line with his arm.
Basically, semi-autos function based on the principle that your hand and arm will provide a certain amount of resistance that will push back on the frame, allowing the slide to cycle fully. If your wrist "crumples" under recoil, then the slide won't cycle fully, which can cause the gun to malfunction. Certain guns are easier to induce malfunctions with. I think it has to do with slide velocity under recoil, but I can't explain it any more technically. Glocks and Desert Eagles are susceptible to the issue, but only if the gun is gripped improperly.

Pic related is what it looks like (in freeze-frame) when somebody limpwrists a semi-auto.
