I hear ya - I know to keep the oil/grease away from the mags. I think it will change after some wear. I'd like to clear up the binding in case the a problem arises and I find myself needing to do a mag swap in a hurry.USA1 wrote:
Be careful not to over lube that area.
The oil will have a tendency to work its way into the magazine which is not good.
I've always pressed that mag release button while inserting the mag
and it will go right in. I believe this will also reduce wear on the release.

Re: Opinions on Pocket Guns (aka fake guns...)
Mine pinched me a couple of times today. I have the blood blisters to prove it - lol.
My only complaint is that the magazines are difficult to get past the release when inserting. I'm gonna give the LCP some good TLC (and a lube job) tomorrow and see if it goes away.

Re: Opinions on Pocket Guns (aka fake guns...)
I don't have a crystal ball, but I believe that .380 will become more abundant at the regular supply houses as the summer wears on.
I finally took the "brandy-new" LCP to the range today. Good news is that I put 270 rounds through it, and not a single FTF or FTE. It was flawless EVERY time. I fed it some remington FMJ and JHP - and ran 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dots as well through it just to be comfy with it. Bad news is that (as many others have said) it is *NOT* my favorite range gun - matter of fact it is my *LEAST* favorite range gun. Putting that many rounds through it was tough. It kicks harshly, difficult to sight, the slide doesn't lock back on the last shot and has a LONG throw DA trigger.
That said, I still love it. It's PERFECT for a pocket gun. The looooong DA trigger means it will fire ONLY when you MEAN to fire it. There won't be any ND's with this guy.
