Ruger LCP Tryout
Here is a bit of video that Mom and I shot the other day when we tried out her handloads in the Ruger LCP she recently acquired. We ran 100 rounds through it altogether, and it never missed a beat. The LCP is double action only, but Mom can fire it with either hand, and she can do a couple trigger pulls at a time, and then do it again after a brief rest.
She gave her Walther PK380 a workout also, to make sure it works with her home rolled loads. The single action trigger on the Walther allows her to empty the magazine without letting her trigger finger catch its breath. You will note that at the end of a run she moves the manual safety back to 'Safe.'

Putting her thumb behind the slide is going to end up giving her a wounded thumb sooner or later!
So how many calibers does she load for now?
She did that when trying out a Kel-Tec .32, and it did bite her. The Walther has enough clearance, I guess, but I will mention it to her. She loads .45 Colt, .45 ACP, and .380. She uses Herco in all of them. It is bulky enough that you won't do a double charge, and we like that as a safety factor.
