Lint in Barrel Ruger LCP II Pocket Carry

[Hibs]

How hard are you racking the slide and unloading the gun that you’re physically ejecting debris from the barrel?

I don't have debris in my barrel, so... ?

Get a Sticky holster and it will print less and not allow any foreign matter into your gun.

I agree 100%. Get a sticky holster like a DeSantis Super Fly and problem solved.

I switched from a sticky holster to Kydex because it's stiffer, adds no bulk, and secures the lcp better. The trigger is more secure. It is molded on the left side to the shape of the lcp and just flat on the right side, which makes it not print like a handgun at all.
I guess now I'm realizing the downside to this holster is that it has an open front, which allows lint into the barrel. I can fix that with some black hockey tape.
If the issue persists, I'm going to take your advice and switch back to sticky. Thanks

Too much Jolliebee in your chamber can have the same effect from what I hear.... ;-)

On a more serious note, don't sweat it.. lint will blow out and not cause any issues..

I have a chunk of the family that came from up North of there in Baguio. I visited when Clark AFB was there.

My bellybutton hole is a lint vacuum. No worries on pocket lint.

I still remember 1991 big a$$ volcanic eruption near Clark. Shortly after that was the US military withdrawal from Clark AFB and the Subic Naval base.

I would be more concerned with the way the fire control group springs are held in place.

Maybe, but I always 'print' in my skinny jeans.

Goon tape to cover the open front of the Kydex holster. If this solves my lint issue, will try it next to cover my belly button.

I think I finally got the hang of shooting the alleged Little Crappy Pistol.

By that I mean well, and not just good enough.

Or maybe I was just having a good day overall....
