Thread: Ruger LCP or Seecamp .32 for pocket carry?
Started 2 months ago by MarcDJudge
I have been looking for a pocket gun for a little while now. I went to my local store to pick up a LCP and there in the case was a like new Seecamp for $399. The serial number is in the 41,000's so feeding should not be an issue. The LCP is $319. What are your thoughts? And please don't say a j frame is the best pocket pistol, I have one and I'm looking for something a little smaller. Thanks for...
A 41,xxx serial numbered SEECAMP would indicate that it's relatively new in terms of pre CNC machined or post CNC machined. It's from a 2001 production if I'm not mistaken. So, it can feed the latest suggested ammo listed on the SEECAMP website. My 48,xxx serial number gun seems to like the HORNADY XTP and Gold Dot the best. The later guns can also shoot the WINCHESTER "White Box" .32acp fmj ...
I had a seecamp 32 it was built very well. My only issue was I have carpel tunnel in my trigger finger and when firing the seecamp my finger would get slammed by the trigger housing and it hurt badly. My seecamp was accurate and never had any issues...200 round count. My son and others who shot it didn't have the issue I did. I still think the seecamp is a little rolex of mouseguns. I'd ...
Seecamp all the way. Smaller and very built. Don't worry about cost or availability of ammo (or 380 acp for that matter), you can find it and it is available. Thing is you are probably only going to shoot a mouse gun enough to convince yourself that your gun is dependable and after that, enough to stay compentant with your gun. A mouse gun is a self defense gun, not meant to fun to shoot or a...
Thanks for the thoughts so far. I'm going to throw a wrench in the equation. Should I suck it up, save a bit more and get a Rohrbaugh R9? Totally different animal, I know, but I am liking the fact that it's a 9mm. Thoughts?
There was a long thread about this very subject a couple of days ago: http://sigforum.com/eve/forums...30601935/m/793106 391 It might answer a few of your questions.
I'm a very pleased owner of an LWS380, but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable going down to a .32 ACP for defensive purposes. While you can't argue about the quality of Seecamp pistols, for the price and considering the caliber, I'd probably go with the Ruger. If price wasn't an issue, I'd be looking for an LWS380. My answer:
