Ruger LCP II - Anyone Have One? Thoughts?

adit · Feb 16, 2017

Any thoughts on this pocket gun?

Anyone shoot one?

I've read about FTF's on it, seemingly related to Sig 380 ammo. Also the magazine that ships with it, and not ones bought as accessories.

Cablea's (DE) has them on sale for $269.99 and the $20 off $150 coupon applies so I can pick it up for $249.99.

Thanks in advance....

I'm interested as well. Would like to know if it's worth the cost of upgrading from the original.

Myself, and 2 co-workers all three bought one from JLowes in Cecil County, for that same price...$250 out the door

MUCH nicer to shoot to POA than the original, which I had, and sold after buying this one...

Trigger is very nice, and much better, compared to the original...

I've shot mine roughly 300 rounds, of Perfecta FMJ brass, and Freedom Munitions JHP, with zero failures of any sort.

Sucks that it only comes with 1 mag, but I have bought two 10 round ProMag mags, and have had zero issue with those as well...

JMO, but for a nice pocket gun, at a cheap price, you can't beat it...I can almost conceal it without a holster, or pocket, LOL

This is on my "list" also. I had an original LCP that I pocket carried when my shirt needed to be tucked and no jacket. Loved it. Switched to a Kahr PM9 which I love too..., but it's simply not as good in a pocket as the smaller .380 was.

2A, you guys still stalking my MDS posts...? Once I mentioned a SUB2000 and got a call next day. Evil, those guys.

Is the trigger a safety mechanism like on the Glock?

I'm a little concerned at how safe is it, to carry round in chamber and in side pocket of jeans.

Yes, it is.

It comes with a pocket holster that seems to work pretty well.

I ended up buying it, just waiting for it to come in.

I had this guy below make me a holster for my XD-S, along with a trigger guard on a string. I'll try to have him make one of each for the LCP II (not listed on his website yet).

http://novatacdesigns.com/products/triggerguard

He ran a BF deal for a Kydex IWB Holster and Trigger Guard for $25 shipped. It was a screaming deal and both fit the XD-S perfectly. I just wished I had ordered a few more for some of my other guns.

Shipping was slow. He got so many orders on Black Friday that he couldn't keep up with the demand. The owner did email me personally about the situation. They ship out of Palmer, AK.

Gotta use a pocket holster for pocket carry.

I recently upgraded to the LCP II from the original LCP. The trigger is much better and the slightly wider grip fits my hand better. I carry often since I'm in PA and recently switched from pocket carry to a kydex IWB holster. I realized that depending on the pants I was wearing if I ever needed to get it out of my pocket quickly I wasn't going to be able to. Especially with jeans, getting it out of that front pocket is difficult so I switched to the IWB and like it much better.

Had an lcp. Sold it to my bother in law. Looking forward to picking up a gen2.

small target would have been hard to hit anyway

I have been considering the LCP II myself. Biggest difference I see is the single action trigger vs the original double action. The added trigger safety seems to ease the concerns of the litigation lawyers. I am torn between the LCP II and the Glock 43. I already own several LCP's and the Glock 43 seems to be a better use of my limited funds. (although more expensive)

I have the LCP and the 42. Since I bought the 42, the LCP has not been out of the safe...

Following.

I have an original LCP and don't like it. Trigger sucks and I had trouble with build quality.

Mine is supposed to arrive in store (Christiana) tomorrow. Heading up to Aberdeen tomorrow so I'm hoping to pick it up before or after.

I've heard of the dreaded three balled Tom cat but never a two dicked po po.

I agree, the trigger was horrible, and I sold my "original", as soon as I got the new one...there's no comparison IMHO.

Finally picked mine up. The trigger is nice.

The grip is small. I can get about 1 1/2 of my sausage fingers on it. :lol2:

Poor pinky is left out of the game.

The pocket "holster" is nice for storage but useless in a "one-handed situation".

One thing I noticed is that the with an empty mag and the slide back, the slide will not go forward into battery when you release it. Can anyone else confirm this?

The only way I could release the slide was to drop the empty mag.
