Ruger LCP .380 ACP Micro Pistol, Model 03701, Blued, 2.75 in Barrel, 6+1 Capacity (2017)
This original-series Ruger LCP is a compact .380 ACP Model 03701 manufactured in 2017. It pairs a through-hardened alloy-steel slide and barrel with a durable glass-filled nylon frame, weighs just 9.6 oz, and maintains the slim 0.82 in profile that made the LCP a go-to micro carry option. This example is outside Ruger's early 370-xxxxx recall range and includes the factory box, manual, a soft pocket holster, and one 6-round magazine.

The original-series LCP design uses a double-action-only trigger with an internal hammer, an external extractor, and integral fixed sights machined into the slide for a low-profile snag-resistant top end. The slide and barrel are through-hardened alloy steel with a blued finish, and the frame is glass-filled nylon for strength with minimal weight.
Its micro size and dimensions make it highly compact: a 2.75 in barrel, 5.16 in overall length, 0.82 in width, and 9.6 oz unloaded. Capacity is 6+1 in .380 ACP. The barrel features a 1:16 right-hand twist for stability with common .380 loads.
This Model 03701 was manufactured in 2017 in the USA and carries the right-side rollmark "RUGER PRESCOTT, AZ USA." The LCP uses a manual slide hold-open and does not automatically lock back on an empty magazine, consistent with the original pattern.
Included is one steel 6-round magazine with a finger-rest floorplate, along with the Ruger factory box and instruction manual. A soft pocket holster adds carry convenience, rounding out a complete package for the original-series LCP.
