The lightweight, compact design of the Ruger LCP Semi-Auto Pistol make it an ideal concealed carry gun, that's comfortable to carry all day. Weighing in at just 9.4 ounces, this pistol has a 6+1 capacity and 2.75" alloy steel barrel. This LCP model features a brushed Stainless Steel Slide to maximize resistance to corrosion when carried during hot and humid weather, though still retaining a non-glare finish. The Ruger LCP handgun utilizes a double-action only, hammer-fired mechanism, with the hammer recessed into the rear of the slide to prevent snagging. The double-action only firing mode makes it simple to use in a high stress situation—no levers or switches to remember—just point and shoot. The magazine release is activated effortlessly-- but not to where it will unintentionally pop out when riding in your pocket or purse. Reliable with manageable recoil even when using self-defense rounds, the Ruger LCP semi-auto handgun is a life-saving option should the worst come to pass.
