The trigger pull is crap. In a .380 I carry a 1922 Colt Pocket Hammerless.

Like the one Patton had.

I don’t think the trigger on the Ruger LCP is crap. In fact I can hit targets out to 50 yards with it, no problem. I think it shoots exactly the way I want it to.

Maybe your finger is crap?

I have the book, “John M. Browning, American Gunmaker”. One of the most interesting things to me is that of all the truly great guns he designed or invented, his favorite was the little .32 auto as made by FN and Colt.

The book mentions that he loved to go hiking around the hills above Ogden with the little .32. He apparently carried a lot of ammo and would plink as he hiked.

In secret he practiced a quick draw with it out of a pocket. He then one day surprised his brothers by showing them just how fast he could draw and fire it.

Starting with the 1878 high powered single shot which the Browning Brothers actually produced in their black smith shop to the Superposed which was his last design there were so many great gun that it would take a long time to list them all, yet that little .32 was his favorite.

That little .32 also pulled FN out of near bankruptcy and before long they had made over a million of them. FN never again had to face bankruptcy and now are probably the largest small arms maker in the world.
