Ruger | LCP-TS | .380 Auto | TALO Special Edition | Nickel-Plated Engraved Slide The Ruger LCP-TS is a distinctive special-edition variation of Ruger's popular LCP (Lightweight Compact Pistol), chambered in .380 Auto. Originally introduced in 2008, the Ruger LCP quickly became one of the company's most recognizable compact handguns. Designed for lightweight construction and a slim, easily carried profile, the LCP helped establish Ruger as a major manufacturer in the growing market for compact .380-caliber pistols. Its combination of a lightweight polymer frame, locked-breech operating system, and compact dimensions made it a popular alternative to larger defensive handguns. The LCP-TS represents a TALO distributor-exclusive variation of the original LCP platform, distinguished by its decorative slide treatment and contrasting two-tone appearance. This example features a nickel-plated slide with decorative engraving and a silver Ruger eagle logo, paired with a black polymer frame. The engraved slide and silver emblem provide an attractive departure from the standard black-finished LCP, giving this variation additional appeal among collectors of Ruger special editions and distributor-exclusive firearms. Mechanically, the LCP-TS retains the original LCP's hammer-fired, double-action-only operating system and compact 2.75" barrel. Its lightweight glass-filled nylon frame, recessed hammer, fixed sights, and slim single-stack magazine configuration contribute to the pistol's streamlined design. The LCP utilizes a short-recoil, locked-breech action, allowing Ruger to produce a relatively lightweight pistol chambered for the .380 Auto cartridge. Measuring approximately 5.16" overall, the original LCP remains one of Ruger's most compact centerfire handgun designs. This particular Ruger LCP-TS, serial number 377-11809, is in excellent, like-new condition and retains its distinctive nickel-plated engraved slide with silver Ruger logo. It is accompanied by its original factory box, paperwork, and two magazines. Firearm Specs Manufacturer: Sturm, Ruger & Co.
