Ruger LCP 380 ACP Pistol 2.75" Barrel
Ruger's legendary LCP delivers compact concealed carry in .380 ACP. Weighing just 9.6 oz with a 2.75" barrel, this ultra-portable pistol features a through-hardened steel slide, integral sights, and includes one 6-round magazine.
The Ruger LCP: Serious Concealed Carry in a Pocket-Sized Package
The Ruger LCP stands as one of the most successful compact pistols ever produced, and for good reason. This is a firearm built on the principle that the best gun to carry is the one you'll actually have with you.
Design and Construction
Ruger engineered the LCP with durability and reliability as core principles. The slide is constructed from through-hardened alloy steel, while the one-piece grip frame uses high-performance glass-filled nylon. This combination provides the strength needed for reliable operation while keeping overall weight to a mere 9.6 ounces—light enough to carry all day without fatigue.
Dimensions Built for Concealment
At just 5.16 inches long and 3.60 inches tall with a width of only 0.82 inches, the LCP fits where other pistols simply won't. This compact profile makes it ideal for pocket carry, ankle holsters, or appendix carry. The checkered grip frame provides positive control without adding bulk.
Practical Features
- Fixed integral sights machined directly into the slide for reliability and durability
- Recessed hammer that won't snag on clothing during the draw
- Finger grip extension floorplate included with the magazine for improved control and comfort
- 6-round magazine capacity providing adequate defensive capability in a minimal footprint
- Smooth, predictable trigger designed for defensive accuracy at close range
The Bottom Line
The LCP represents a fundamental truth in defensive firearms: a gun you carry beats a gun you leave at home. This is serious self-defense hardware in the smallest practical package.
