Ruger Lc380 Capacity

The Ruger LC380, as its name implies, is chambered in .380 ACP and feeds from a single-stack 7 round magazine.  For range use, aftermarket manufacturers have created larger 10 round magazines that include a spacer to prevent over-insertion, however the standard 7 round magazines fit flush with a pinky extension to increase grip surface area.

Ruger Lc380 Feature

The Ruger LC380 is a subcompact polymer-frame semi-automatic pistol that operates on a short-recoil action with a 3.12 inch tilting barrel.  This pistol fires from a double-action trigger pull and is available both with and without a safety as it was designed to be discreet and ready at a moment’s notice.  The slide is topped with fiber-optic iron sights for low-light target acquisition and are windage-adjustable to increase accuracy.

Ruger Lc380 Ergonomics

The LC380 has a very small grip with even smaller controls, and it has a recoil spring that makes you wonder if racking the slide counts as a full workout.  Luckily, slide serrations flank the rear sight so you can get a better grip when you’re manually cycling the action.  The trigger pull is long and incredibly heavy to increase safety and reliability, and this is all to keep it easy to conceal.

Ruger Lc380 Concealability

The LC380 measures 6 inches long, 4 inches tall and only 1 inch wide making it very easy to conceal inside the belt, in a pocket, or anywhere else you might need to tuck a gun away.  The gun’s smooth contours and small controls are meant to reduce the chances of the gun snagging as you draw it from a holster.

Ruger Lc380 Fit-N-Finish

Ruger is known for making incredibly durable guns, and the LC380 continues that tradition.  This durability is done by heat-treating the steel components to an incredible hardness which prevents wear and ensures user safety.  The finish used on the LC380 is also resistant to wear as well as environmental damage, though the slide and barrel are made of stainless steel.
