2 guns I'm looking to get

[LFD2037]

I currently have a Taurus PT140 as my CC. I'm looking at getting rid of it & getting a Glock 27 & a Ruger LCP(bug). For those of you that have these 2, are you completely satisfied w/them? I'll be able to get the 27 on an LEO deal so the price is really good. As far as the LCP, it's seems like alot of $$ for what you get. What do ya'll think? Thanks!

I have a G23 & a G27 & am thrilled with how well the G27 shoots.
Could not recommend it enough.

I have a G23, G26 (same size as the G27 in 9mm) and the Ruger LCP.

Love them all, but then I am partial to Glocks.

Not one problem with any of them...so far. The LCP does bite a bit. It is not a range gun, but should serve the purpose it was designed for.

On the LCP, I would highly recommend going the extra step and getting the CTC laser, as the iron sights are, well, bad.

Glocks are my primary carry and the LCP is a BUG carried in the pocket (desantis nemesis).

I heard a lot of bad things about the LCP, a lot of problems with people having to send them back. I'll dig to find the thread and post it on here.

Im sure each gun has some lemons out there, but when it was launched I recall reading a lot about all sorts of breakage. Great in size, .380a can be hard to come by at times. If it works then I would consider, however until I have a friend that has put several hundred rds through it with no trigger or slide breakage I wont be buying it.

Thanks for the info. I have researched the recall. Seems to have fixed the problem but I still hear of some people who just don't like their's. I was hoping to trade my PT140 for one.

I have a kel tec 380 (practically the same gun, but kel tec). I wish I'd gotten the ruger, but they simply weren't avalable.

I have a Glock 19, and have shot a 26 and love them both.

So, yeah, seems like two good gun choices to me. : )

I've actually seen 380 auto TWICE in the last few days. . .so things are starting to look up.

Very true, I've been seeing a lot more ammo on the shelves lately, but during the scares and hypes .380 is one of the hardest to find, more so then 9mm and .45

.380 @ Cheaper than dirt @ one time was $65 a BOX! They are crazy. Texasnative, I checked out that desantis nemesis holster for the LCP & it will be what I'' get for mine, when I get one.

BTW, what holsters do ya'll like best for a sub compact(27 or similar)?

I carry my 27 every day and i am completly happy with it. It handles and fires VERY well for the size. I do run a +1 extension. I just can't get used to my pinky hanging off. All in all I will always go to my 27 as my ccw.

I carry mine in a side armor IWB that I got when I bought this 27. It seems to work well. I would not mind trying a leather holster though just to see.
