The Ruger LC380 Semi-Auto Pistol is slightly larger than Ruger's LCP model, though fires the same .380 ACP cartridge, making it easier to control while firing. The LC380 utilizes a double-action only, hammer-fired mechanism, with the hammer recessed into the rear of the slide to prevent snagging. The pistol operates with a locked-breech action that facilitates racking the slide. A manual thumb safety blocks the trigger. The trigger has an integrated safety, and the pull is short, light, and crisp. A magazine disconnect prevents the gun from firing without a magazine fully inserted in the frame. A checkered, glass-filled nylon grip frame contains an aluminum insert, which the slide rides on. The slide is made from hardened alloy steel. The LC380 semi-automatic pistol has a sleek design with rounded edges and corners, enabling it to conceal well, while minimizing the chances of catching on clothing, holsters, or purses when drawing the weapon. Low-profile, 3-dot, steel front and rear sights are dovetailed to the slide; the rear sight is drift adjustable. The lightweight, compact design of the Ruger LC380 Semi-Auto Pistol makes it an ideal concealed carry gun that's comfortable to carry all day and quick to engage targets. Includes one 7-round magazine and a finger grip extension floorplate.Manufacturer model #: 3253.
