  1. Replacing a Recoil Spring

    I am not saying you are wrong. It is just that I haven't seen many videos of people saying that is their experience. Usually, tons of videos would document a widespread issue like that. Where should I look for the documentation? I would honestly like to know these issues from people who have...

  2. Replacing a Recoil Spring

    I think that a 380ACP is marginal as a self-defense round. Most of the listed velocities are with longer barrel pistols. Couple the marginal ammo with a shorter barrel pistol - LCP -, and it is considered border line effective. Often expansion of a hollow point doesn't occur, especially if...

    From your table, it looks like a +P is roughly a 10% increase in pressure over the standard round. A 10% increase for a 380 acp puts it at about the same pressure as a 25 auto.

  7. Replacing a Recoil Spring

    How many standard 380 acp rounds do you think a Ruger LCP Max is designed to withstand - ie. it's designed life span? I would say at least 10's of thousands. I bet most owners don't put even 1000 rounds through it the entire time they own one. What design margin do you think Ruger has for...

  9. Replacing a Recoil Spring
