I got 2 of them me and wife both hanging up closing glitching. We have 6 mags and 5 types of ammunition. I’m not not to happy with ruger right now. Good video you were way less frustrated than I was .
@ Peater Johnson, I am having the same issues with mine. I realize that I am going to carry something else that is more reliable when I making a run to the store...
polish every single moving part with 600 grit sandpaper. polish the feed ramp, polish the breach face, recoil guide rod and the channel in which the guide rod sits. if you cant push down at all with 6 rounds in the magazine, take some pliers and clip off 1 full turn off the spring.
My LCP has the exact same failures and same rate of failure. Using 95g Brass FMJ ball there should not be this many problems. I now carry my J frame almost exclusively because I'm scared to have a jamb when my life may depend on it.
mine was fine out of the box, but after firing around 40 rounds, its doing the same thing. I'm gonna polish everything like suggested. If that doesn't work, get rid of it. It's too bad. I really like the gun.
Mine was doing the samething. I got mine back, ruger replaced the slide on mine. Only difference is first time I shot round nose, when I took it out after service I shot flat nose with no issues.
On mine extractor was broken just the lower half so couldn't see it till I tore it apart.also polish slide ramp and block on the slide that holds bullets down while in magazine,polish guide rod and part where firing pin extends from.also I haven't done mine yet cause extra tor hasn't come in yet,but I'm gonna polish the extractor contact to slide points
Mine and my wife's do the same thing. Can't rely on it with your life. At least the first shot always comes out for us. I will never buy a Ruger again. I was told to try WWB. Will see if that makes a difference next time we go to the range.
So sad. I would start be polishing the barrel feed ramp and cartridge end of the barrel, replacing the entire ejector and system (springs, etc.), and trying another magazine. DO NOT CHANGE AMMO! These semi-autos should feed all ammo. It's a pisser, but don't look to the manufacturer for a solution. It is now your weapon and your problem, sad to say.
You are so lucky. I have a Kahr p380, spent $643 to buy it, thinking the more expensive Kahr would be better. Wrong. Send it back to Kahr, still doesn't work. No replacement, no buy back. Really unhappy, and with so many Kahr fan boys, I can't even complain. Thanks for your reply, and good luck!
If Ruger didn't have problems and you are it's gotta be the ammo. 380 acp is a weird caliber. Some guns don't function well with some brands of ammo. I suggest you try different brands of ammo or just trade the gun in for a pocket sized 9mm or 38 special handgun. The new Ruger EC9s or even a Glock 43 or S&W Shield should function with all brands of ammo.
Just replace it with a sccy; a little bigger full 9mm instead of short giving you more variety in ammo. But from what I've seen so far; for the price the sccy is a better option. Ruger definitely has let us down with the lcp series
@@rogerwhitley6107 Sorry to hear that. I owned a SCCY CPX-2 and it kept breaking every 1000 or so rounds so I sold it because I couldn't trust it. SCCY fixed it each time for free, but after the 3rd time I had enough. They are accurate, but they just aren't designed to hold up to a lot of shooting. If you are only going to shoot a couple boxes of ammo every year it will last a long time, but don't think you'll be able to shoot it a lot without something breaking. The 1st thing that broke on mine was the grip frame right behind the rear frame pin. The second thing was the extractor wore and started causing double feeds every 2 or 3 rds. The 3rd thing was the ejector broke. After selling the SCCY I bought a Sig P250 subcompact 9mm used for 300 bucks and that has been the most reliable gun I've ever owned. It's never jammed except with steel cased ammo and it doesn't jam when my girlfriend limp wrists it. I must have shot over 5000 rds through it so far. Since then I upgraded to a new Sig P365 and it's been great too. It's about the same size as the SCCY.
@@Prepare2Survive good to know I haven't heard or seen much bad about the sccy. I questioned the whole polymer over stamped steel frame concept myself; wondering over the long term what kind of integrity andreliability they truly have
I have had this problem with any self defense ammo does not matter the grain or maker. If it ain't fmj constant failures to feed, constant failure to ejects. We have 2 lcp 380 and both display the same feeding issues ejection issues and magazine seating isuues. And I've polished all there is to polish on one with flitz and no difference except smoother action; when it actually goes into battery that is. Had a smith blame it on me dead wristing; he couldn't fire one round without an issue, then apologized. Had one back in 2012 or 13, had no problems; these two, scare the piss outta mewith the unreliability. Definitely not the most dependable edc
@@rogerwhitley6107 until this day I still carry the same ruger lcp and its been roughly 4 years now?.... But the one I have is reliable to me.... i have roughly 3k rounds through it so far. That only jams I had were when I used the 10 round pro mags.....i also bought the ruger lcp2 recently....and it would even better..... but i will still trust my lcp i bought few years ago even tho I've upgrade a little to the lcp2.
your limp wristing your arm and rolling back your shoulder. the gun cant cycle properly. keep your arm locked out , and dont move or roll your shoulder.
His limp wristing isnt responsible for the ejection malf. Ruger cant seem to solve the issue, and must shoot premium ammo for testing, or they flat out lie. Its poor engineering, the main spring, and ejector spring are underpowered, his only fix is stretching the ejector spring, and filing the ejector lip deeper. Better form would be a plus though i guess lol

Mine is doing the same thing yours is at with the same failure rate yours is. I can't get through one mag without mis-feeding and eject failures.
My LCP has the exact same failures and same rate of failure. Using 95g Brass FMJ ball there should not be this many problems. I now carry my J frame almost exclusively because I'm scared to have a jamb when my life may depend on it.
I have one that was doing the same thing. You have to polish damn near everything on it to get it to half way function.
Mine doing the same in the process of sending it in now. Hope it comes back better.
Mine does the same thing , just took it out yesterday
mine was fine out of the box, but after firing around 40 rounds, its doing the same thing. I'm gonna polish everything like suggested. If that doesn't work, get rid of it. It's too bad. I really like the gun.
I’m having the same problem. It’s so frustrating, brand new!
Which one do you have?

Mine hasn’t failed out of about 2000 rounds of brass ammo one Time it hung on a manual ejection cuz I didn’t rack it back far enough

Not my problem....ruger took a return for a full refund. I now carry a SW bodyguard with ZERO issues.

What happened with this? I have the same issue, sent back to ruger for the 2nd time. Lets see if they can fix it.
I would be pissed too if mine was acting like that. That’s ridiculous
My ruger also gets jammed the same way. So what is a better gun to buy?
Sccy
mine is doing the same thing. Frustrated.
I have the same issue. What did you do to fix your issue?
Sent it back/got a refund.
Try it with 4 or 5 types of ammo and see if it still does it.
and yolu never noticed ,,it didnt lock back after last round
definately orprobably your mag ,,,its all over youtube
I have the same pistol, they don't lock back when empty, also having the same jamming issues this guy is showing

*GASP* YOU SAID THE FUCK WORD!!!
It's due to the ammo you are using. I had that problem with federal ammo also. I started shooting Remington and everything runs flawlessly now.
You’re going to piss off a lot of 1911 fanboys with that statement. Lmao.

@@rogerwhitley6107 I will gladly purchase your lcp from you......

After careful polishing& buffing with 1500 grit and chrome polish they feed pretty well now.. i ever wanna sell em I'll keep ya in mind
Yo band bond
Polish it, that will fix everything. The new slide only made your problem worse.
Youre doing everything wrong
Jk
Just keep shooting it. Use different ammo. If you’re seriously upset with it, consider it a loss and trade it in for a j frame revolver.
Trade that thing in on a higher quality pistol. Right now there are way better options on the market.
You're shooting with the wrong hand ;)
Man that sucks, here's what you do; stick to instruments.
your limp wristing your arm and rolling back your shoulder. the gun cant cycle properly. keep your arm locked out , and
dont move or roll your shoulder.
I agree
His limp wristing isnt responsible for the ejection malf. Ruger cant seem to solve the issue, and must shoot premium ammo for testing, or they flat out lie. Its poor engineering, the main spring, and ejector spring are underpowered, his only fix is stretching the ejector spring, and filing the ejector lip deeper.
