I think I forgot to update that I finally send my original SS LCP (unofficial gen 2) back to the mothership for FTF.
Ruger replaced the barrel and some other stuff for free (including shipping)
Now it runs Hornady XTP Custom JHPs just fine
Thanks Ruger.
I carry the little monster all the time, either as a primary or backup to a larger gun.
Thought about the new MAX, but I don't even like the LCP with an extended mag.
Sometimes bigger isn't necessarily better
