"An LCP, empty of course, is placed directly into really hot water for an hour, then placed into a dryer set to "High" without selecting the "Wrinkle Guard" option. A quick check for softener sheets, a shot of Pennzoil and the result is a perfectly sized SSCP as seen below left, ready for retailors' shelves. "
Dang had me going for a sec. Seriously though, I wish Ruger (or someone) would make an LCP size pistol in .22LR, light double action, no manual safety. I'd buy one in a minute...No wait again. I'd wait till the first recall was over.

"Knowledge without understanding is a dangerous thing. For a little knowledge entices us to walk its path, a bit more provides the foundation on which we take our stand, and a sufficient amount can erect a wall of knowledge around us, trapping us in our own ignorance."
With only 1.4 grains of case capacity to work with, John concocted a blend of Alliant Blue Dot and hydrazine but, unfortunately, the compound caused it to rain whenever it was tested in the lab. Eventually the Blue Dot was discarded, the hydrazine was discarded and velocities of 1,200 fps for a 28 grain FMJ bullet and 1,400 fps for a 20 grain hollow point bullet load were attained with a small rifle magnum primer and one medium size pop rock.
The 28 grain load proved to be a reliable feeder, however, the 20 grain hollow point is the real stopped for this combination. In test medium at the RealGuns lab, expanded diameters of up to 0.200" were common place with penetration of up to ¼" in mixed fruits and vegetables. Experiments conducted with lab rats were inconclusive. There were no fatalities at point blank range, or bleeding, or... bone fractures, however, there was clear evidence of agitation and aggravation which may have led to ulcers and a possible need for surgery further down the line. By then, under a new federally managed national health care program, surely they would all die.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error.
