This is a special talent I have you know?
I can definitely empathize. I'd challenge you to a friendly contest to see who got the most bad Ruger handguns in the past year - four in a row for me, the two they sent me to replace two I sent back were as bad if not worse than the ones I sent back. However, it's not a contest I care to win so have withdrawn from that particular field entirely. After a host of issues, I swore Ruger off. Then I decided I wanted a 17 HMR not too long ago. There wasn't much available so I went with an American Go Wild, figuring I'd have to send it back. It has been an absolute joy. Like a dumbass, I got suckered back in.

I bet it's the magazine. My .380 LCP runs flawlessly with the 2 factory magazines I have. But it wouldn't get through 1 magazine without jamming with the aftermarket Pro Mag I bought.
I threw the Pro Mag in the trash and bought the second factory magazine.
They're obviously magazine sensitive. Maybe you just got a bad one.

Dang Paul.
Do you have issues with S&W weapons also? I have never bought one. I like them just fine, but for some reason never have laid down the cash for one. Well, you be sure and pick one up someday. Next time you have extra cash flow................maybe sell a couple of Rugers? And when you do, please let us know if THOSE give you issues too. So far, mine haven't.........................so far. Good luck with this problem, you'll need it apparently.

"Paul, it's not me, it's you. It's definitely you."
A wild guess that you've heard this before, Mr. Barnard.

I schidt you not. Ruger LCP 22 won't feed anything other than round nose. Called Ruger. They are sending me a new magazine. Buy a real gun.

My wife has one, it only likes regular cci, jams on everything else. I just use cci’s in it like everyone else that owns one instead of crying on the internet about it. Sounds like some kind of Seacamp issue. Very popular back up gun at one time I heard. I never considered one as I believe the company only warranted them with Winchester Silvertips or some such. And what does one do if one ends up in an area with none on the shelves, just Remington or Sellior and Bellot? Seacamp was a quality weapon. They were specially built for the Silvertip, which was the best 32 ACP round at the time. Later, it was eclipsed, but when Seacamp started making his 32's, they were the best you could get in that caliber. In fact, the Silvertip really popularized the 32 ACP, bringing it up to nearly 380 level stopping power wise.

The magazine was probably a Monday morning production. Just a little QA QC problem.
I think about 10% of my past lower end rifles or handguns have gone to a gunsmith to get fixed.

Why a .22 for a bicycle gun, will a 9mm over penetrate?
Tradition....it goes back to the .22 Velo Dog.

Have you heard of revolvers? I bought a Ruger SP101. The sights couldn't be adjusted to bring the rounds on target. I am not a great revolver shooter, but even with a rest, I couldn't get it high enough. Looks like they polished the stainless with 40 grit.

The hollow points were probably shorts...... Jim, why is it always about my shorts with you?  On that note, I'll give all of you yet another reason to laugh at me. This is my "bicycle" gun. Why a .22 for a bicycle gun, will a 9mm over penetrate? I've killed Many bicycles with a 22 LR, all were DRT one shot kills. Why go over-gunned? Knucklehead magnumbitists...

"Paul, it's not me, it's you. It's definitely you."
A wild guess that you've heard this before, Mr. Barnard. It's an unfortunate truth. My wife didn't believe me when I told her I was bad luck. "No such thing" she said. Unsurprisingly, I don't gamble. We went on a cruise not too long after we started seeing each other. She wanted to go gambling. I told her I would stay off the gaming floor. She brushed it off. About an hour later I strolled in to check on her. She was up a couple hundred bucks. I watched her for a few minutes until she dropped down to about 50 bucks up. I excused myself. I came back 45 minutes later. She was way up again and immediately started dropping. She kicked me out of the casino and immediately hit a couple hundred dollar jackpot.

They're obviously magazine sensitive. Maybe you just got a bad one. My 380 LCP digests everything I jam into it using Pro Mags. I have two, and all is good. You just like to be different, Bristoe.

Had a .380 LCP that functioned flawlessly. Sold it. Prefer the uncertainty of flintlocks, and any excuse to use a bayonet is the schizzle.

You're the first person I've ever heard say anything positive about Promags. Our shop wouldn't even carry them.
