Get yourself some granulate TALON Grips. It’s a game changer. Makes the gun perfect.

There are plenty of feeding problems with the Kahr CW380, but I don't think the Extreme Defender is one of them -- I have used mine extensively with +P (for which the Kahr is rated and the Ruger is not) Extreme Defender and have not had a single feeding issue with that ammo -- the copper bullet profile does just fine on the steep Kahr ramp. But forget using HP ammo. . .

the ruger is basically a redesigned Kel Tec

It says right on the website that it doesn't like the kahrs much.

UPDATE:

I picked up my new LCPII from my FFL today. The purchase was made via Gunbroker from a "brick & mortar" store with +4k sales and an A+ rating.

My FFL did not open the UPS shipping box so we opened it, then the Ruger box, and there was NOT a magazine to be found.

I called the seller who said I was the 2nd person in a week to call with the same issue. He gave me Ruger's customer service number and of course Ruger's CS dept is closed on Saturday.

Maybe this update belongs in the "What's Your Deal" section as I'm not real happy.

Phooey on Ruger for shipping without a mag. Double phooey on the seller for not opening the box, taking inventory, before shipping it to me. Triply phooey on the seller for not making it right themselves by contacting Ruger versus leaving it up to me.

The dealer also told me the other purchaser that had the same problem told him Ruger said he would get his mag from Ruger in about 10 days.
