Range rpt: LCP w/Handall, 13# spring

Wow, an amazing difference.

The Hogue Handall slip-on offers extra purchase for big hands, good tacky grip, and recoil absorption. The Wolff 13lb spring also helps smooth recoil and stops ejected brass from causing as much damage as the bullet. Combined, they completely transform the LCP into a smooth, accurate shooter. My groups were much tighter and the web of my hand didn't hurt at all after ~60 rounds.

I shot a combination of: Cor-Bon 90gr JHP, Fiocchi 90gr JHP, Lawman 95gr TMJ with no feeding problems. With the stock 9lb spring I experienced occasional feeding problems with JHPs, but not with the 13lb spring. And the slide doesn't stick back 1/8 inch like it can with the stock spring when holstering.

I highly recommend this combination which will cost you about $20 in a sane market.

Thanks Andy, that's a big change (9-13lb) no fte or Ftf problems?

1stmar, no FTE/feed issues whatsoever, compared with occasional feed issues I used to have on hollowpoints. I was dubious about going up to 13lb as well, but I'd read nearly 100% positive reviews, which I can confirm. Some supporting evidence, consider how hard the stock LCP ejects casings that bounce all around your range stall.

Again, I heartily recommend these two cheap mods.
