I saw a couple of the LCPs at the gun show last weekend. Both the dealers who had them wanted 380.00...LOL. I paid 279.00 at Bullet Trap. Of course I don't have it yet, but I am on the list after paying an 80.00 deposit.

Anyone want to recommend a defense round to feed through either of these pea shooters? Maybe a quick why to go with the recommendation?

Actually, the LCP does not have a "last shot slide lock." It has a manual lock that you can set to hold the slide open.

I just found this out a few minutes ago. I ordered the LCP this afternoon assuming the slide lock worked as a normal, last shot slide lock. It isn't a deal breaker, but I would sure like to know why Ruger didn't go all the way and make it a last shot slide lock.

Nice job on the review. I have considered the Kel-tec on a couple occasions and after holding it, handed it back to the guy behind the counter. I thought it felt cheap. I was still in maybe mode up until I took my CHL class. There was a feller in there for the half day renewal class and when he went to do his shooting part, his Keltec just quit firing. He took it and went off to a gun smith to return later for his shooting. I did not get to ask him what happened to make it stop firing. Then while shooting at my local range a feller was practicing with his Kel-tec. He was having nothing but trouble with it. I couldn't see what was going on as we had divider walls between the ranges. He would fire a couple rounds then start cussing the gun. Eventually he gave up and left the range grumbling about the ancestry of his pistol. Before he left, I asked him what it did and he said it just quit firing and he didn't know what was going on with it. Now I read here that the Kel-Tec you where shooting has had issues before and broke while you where testing it. Enough for me. I don't think the BG is going to wait while I get my gun fixed. I will take a look at the Ruger for a BUG.

Thanks for the hands on review .
