Reddit mentions of Hogue Handall Hybrid Ruger LCP Grip Sleeve

Your OG LCP is a great little gun. Add a grip sleeve to make it more pleasant to shoot.

I had the same mindset as OP until recently. I finally got down to a smaller frame Kahr PM40. Carried it for a couple years but it was to large for me to really pocket carry.

I recently traded my wife's Taurus .38 for the Ruger LCP and I was very disappointed. It felt cheap and I couldn't shoot it to save my life. I've always really loved Ruger; so I did some research and decided to make some minor adjustments.

Added a Hogue Sleeve, a Clip extension and a Laser Max. A little over a $100 and it completely transformed the gun for me. I highly recommend for those times that a larger frame firearm isn't ideal.

It's the Hogue Handall Hybrid: http://www.amazon.com/Hogue-Handall-Hybrid-Ruger-Sleeve/dp/B004Y8AYGE

I really recommend it, it makes a world of difference on the LCP.

Yes but it is such a very comfortable gun to carry around.

RECOMMEND:

Hogue grip

upgrade the recoil spring to 13 pounds

upgrade to sweat pea trigger

It will be like night and day for that gun. I promise.

if you are really set on a Kel-Tec P32 i would strongly encourge you to get a Ruger LCP, mine has been very reliable over years. i found one for $190 with free shipping the LCP uses the more powerful .380 ACP cartridge instead of .32 auto. real defensive loads exist for .380 such as Federal HST Micro. if you get the LCP i would recomend getting the Hogue rubber grip sleeve for it. the hogue grip makes the grip a bit wider and really helps spread out of the felt recoil. you could also look at the lcp II it is wider than the LCP one and has better sights.

you will want a good holster, one that covers the trigger and one the gun wont fall out when completely inverted. the "safety" here is the holster, by protecting the trigger you are preventing the gun from firing. in addition the guns have a long heavy trigger pull, these guns do not have "hair tiggers" that will go off with little more than a stiff breeze...

the sights on these guns are milled into the slide, they are not adjustable. getting shots on target is not a problem, if you know what you are doing. you have likely seen something like this before proper sight alignment Well with guns like these micro pocket pistols with the sights milled into the slide that "proper sight picture" goes out the window. your sight picture will look like anyone of these except for the top one. but thats is fine because the bullets will hit the center of the target. my LCP shoots low, i make the bottom of my front sight post level with the rear sights and i can hold 3-4 inch groups at 15 yards. my friends LCP shoots to the left, so i make the front sight bias the right side of the notch and then the gun shoots straight. the sights on these things work, they are just not intuitive. accuracy seems very ammo dependent with these tiny guns so try lots of brands.

I use this for my LCP. Works great, I can run with it, sit down comfortably.


I also suggest checking out a grip for it. Makes a huge difference how it feels in my hand.

Have you tried adding one of the Hogue grips to the LCP?

It's supposed to be a significant improvement to how it feels in your hand. I haven't tried one yet, but it's on my list.

I carry an LCP. For me, it got a whole hell of a lot more comfortable to shoot when I got these cheap upgrades:

Hogue grip

Grip extension

Recoil Spring

I also put a laser on mine, which I haven't replaced the battery on. It provides even more grip, as I can place my offhand thumb onto the wider trigger guard that the laser attachment provides.

It's still not a delight to shoot, but it got a lot easier for me when I got the aforementioned items.
