I liked this pistol for it's size and lack of recoil, since after years of gun ownership I still do not consider myself a crack shot and ready to handle any problem while carrie a gun.
I have a carry license now and went through the course qualified on the range with a 9mm and even passed the written with a required over 80% mark.
So I walk a round with a Rugar 8 shoot 22 revolver with a sticky holster and can pull /it in 5 seconds and start pulling the trigger if need be……
However I also have a Rugar LCP 2 LR 22. I had problems with feed and learned that the ammo could be a problem. To be sure I sent it back the Rugar and they changed the internal springs and shoot 100 rounds with no failure, as their report said!
Great I though and I took it to the range and it did really well but still had a few feed problems.
So, I just bought a 100 rounds of the hottest CCI 36 grain bullet with a rating of over 1600 FPS …… (rifle)
I really like the the little 22LR pistol want to pocket carry it…..
Lastly the reason I am writing this is because I was literally insulted by a range employee, who is an expert in his field that the LR 22 is literally garbage and it is dumb to carry it or even own it.
Now I never will be as proficient and experienced as this fellow but I really like the gun and want to work out the problems.
I am not new to shooting but I am getting older and re-coil is a problem when under a self defense situation……
BTW I dislike people that look down on others with less experience and this is one reason I am writhing this rather lengthy story…..
Thanks
