I have one of them myself, neat little gun. Gota CT laser grip and a +1 mag extention on mine. I haven't shot it since adding the mag extentions so idk if it'll mess up how the gun feeds yet.

Ya I have about 500 rounds of factory stuff and about 100 rounds of reloaded stuff with 124 grain cast bullets that I bet kick like a horse in that LCP... I don't have the heart to shoot any 380 ammo lol.

yeap 124 grain is but I buy reloads off a guy sometimes and apparently he found load info for 380s with a 124 grain bullet. I dunno how, i don't know crap about reloading but they work well in any 380 he's tried em in, and they feed fine into the LCP just ain't shot none yet lol.

Never did shoot em, tried the cast reloads I got off this guy in my SR9 and got stovepipe after stovepipe lol so I kinda got pissed and didn't try the 380. Idk how much luck I'll have with them but the SR9 didn't like these reloads at all, idk why.

Spends way too much money on guns.

Most .380 factory ammo is 95 grain, or what I've shot is 95 grain anyway. I have a P3AT and the recoil is rough enough with regular ammo, I don't think my hand would like me trying to shoot 124 grain ammo, I doubt the pistol would like it much either.

I too have an LCP with CT, mag finger extensions and slip on rubber grip.
The mak finger extensions and slip on rubber grip make the LCP much easier to shoot, Recoil can be brutal depending on ammo as the gun is so light and small.
When my wife carries it I load it with Federal Personal Protection with low recoil, whan I carry it I use Buffalo Bore 95 gr hard cast flat points.

Yeah I got it just cause, well it was 20 bucks for 100 rds of 380 lol, ive been REALLY hesitent to put it through the sweet pea, I had a bersa 380 at the time though and intended to feed it through that, much more hardy gun. But she said the same, handled it better then any other woman I took out shoot. I set a smaller target out at the 25 yrd line and told her if she can hit it once with those speed bump sights i'd be impressed. She got it twice with a 7 rd mag (Impact guns +1 mag extension, it ROCKS). Said "that's got alittle kick to it. Shot my sigma 40 cal, which kicks like a horse to, and she agreed that that little pocket pistol kicks harder. lol Still most women I let shoot it, shake their hands after one shot and put it down lol. |

A slipon grip and set of wolf springs in the slide will help tame the little recoil.
