I picked up a LCP Ruger today, the paperwork shows it was made in June and it appears to have the frame milled from the factory like the post below. I read on another forum there was a problem with some investment cast part breaking on these also?
Found the old link about parts breakage

I think the LCP is a great weapon,I have my money setting in the bank waiting for them to announce a stainless version.

Picked mine up monday, forgot to look if the frame had the square corner cut out. Finally put some rounds thru it last night, 40ish cci blazers went thru without issue so far. Have to run a few more boxes thru for break-in, along with some carry ammo and then it'll probably live in my pocket.
At about 15 yards its around 6" low, anyone else notice that?

Have had mine for a couple of months now. About 150 rounds of American Eagle have been through without a problem and 20 rounds of Buffalo Bore hollow points which is what is in it when I carry. In a Desantis pocket holster the thing is virtually undetectable in even the pockets of jean shorts. Mine does have the milled out area from the factory. I think it is a excellent summer pocket gun.

I have not shot the new Ruger yet but tried cycling some Corbon hollowpont ammo through the chamber. It won't chamber these wide nosed hollowpoints, the barrel throat must be to short. Corbons do work in a Walther PPKS just fine. The Ruger must need bullets with more taper.
I ordered a Lyman 90 grain cast bullet mould for plinking.

I ordered a Lyman 90 grain cast bullet mould for plinking. I ran some Corbon DPX through mine and those fed well. You may want try a "fluff and buff," or at least polish just the feed ramp to see if that will help.

I used a Dremel felt wheel with Fitz metal polish on the feed ramp and the chamber. I don't want to polish away any of the barrel rifling. The slide still did not close on the Corbons. They are 90 grain JHP with some of the full bullet diameter ahead of the brass casing. There must be a variation in the LCP bullet throat depth with different pistols. I seated the corbon factory loaded bullets .015 inches deeper into the 380 casing and now they chamber fine.
