I also love my LCP when I am in shorts and a T-shirt.
I carry my LCP with ball only but have been thinking about trying the new copper HP rounds in it as they expand and penetrate well.


I've had poor luck with Winchester White Box 95gr FMJ. The little Rugers just won't function with that particular load. Other brands of FMJ haven't yielded any problems.

My defensive carry load is Remington Golden Sabers. They've been 100% reliable in every LCP I've tested them in.

ETA: I've tried other HP but ended up sticking with the GS.
