LCP Max .380!

James Reeves with another sterling review. Regrettably Ruger couldn’t make a decent trigger if their life depended on it, revolver or semi auto. A trigger is an important part of a gun, if you can’t get the trigger right maybe you shouldn’t be making guns. The magazine base plate falls off. Failure to feed, failure to eject. But you get to pay $600 for Ruger’s test and evaluation, so they can come out with a version II in 2 years when they get it right. A double stack .380 that holds 10+1. My gawd the gun industry is sick. Charge an arm and a leg for shit. Never buy the first generation of a gun. A running shoe yes buy Gen 1, but not a gun. Give it 2 years, hundreds of users will reveal the kinks. And they still don’t have the sense to make it in .25 or .32. For Ruger they went crazy when they made it in .22 LR.

“Is a snub nose .357 a bad idea?”

Kids these days like to do videos like this about the favorite weapons of ‘fuds’ and ‘boomers’. This one is on the Smith & Wesson 340PD, the “smallest, lightest .357 magnum made”. And to my eternal confusion, I will always wonder why they would insist on shooting .357 magnum at a human being? Something screaming out of the barrel at 1,450 FPS, why would you do that? Shoot a .38 wadcutter coming out at 680 FPS. Shoots like a dream. More than enough to take out homo sapiens. Besides, there is no way I’d pay $1,019 msrp for a snubbie. I’d go $450 for the Charter Arms below.
