LCP II

Zorros · Mar 30, 2019

Bought this for a running gun to be carried in Pistol Wear Waist holster. Have a bodyguard .380 but wanted a second pistol. Haven’t picked it up. Anyone have one?Lighter trigger, no safety and lighter by a couple ounces. What do you think?

Really like mine. Seems ideal for wha you have in mind. Paint the sights!

I painted front sight of bodyguard. Will do his.

I was looking hard at one, but passed. It's a striker-fired handgun meant to be pocket-carried

The LCP II is actually hammer fired

I have had the opportunity to shoot one. The trigger is, I think, nice and crisp. it's not a long heavy pull like a S&W. Ruger states it (supposedly) cannot discharge unless the trigger is pulled. it's supposed to have some sort of disconnect. It is somewhat snappy to shoot and maybe a Pachmayr "tactical glove" would help. If I owned one, I would definitely paint the front sight ramp white or orange. It is a very light and small package and could easily be pocketed. It has a reputation for being very reliable. I think all of this makes it an awesome deep conceal pistol. I would be curious to know if you like it better than the S&W Bodyguard, which also has a great reputation.

I pocket carry the LCP II in the holster that came with it. Slips into my front pocket nicely. I got it to carry in light clothing like t-shirt/shorts. It does what I bought it for and I am happy with it.

Picked up the lcp2 this am. Wife, an experienced shooter and ccw, and i took it to the range, fired 100 rds fmj and 25 rds rem golden saber. Wife thought golden sabers were a little snappy. No hitches. Very easy for her to shoot, little small for me but consistently on target. Have to depress mag release to load a mag, but internet says that will ease up. All in all, for what it is not bad. Not handsome like a glock, though.

I have an older gen1 LCP and carry it a lot.
Summer clothing, shirts tucked in, etc.
Nemesis pocket holster and Soft tuk.
Interested in LCP II for the trigger, but not enough to own both.
Personally, I like the smooth lines of LCP better.

The LCP II has a little less recoil than the original LCP. Or it feels like it, at least. Shoots pretty well for such a small gun.

When we got home, painted front sight with white sight paint.

Sorry, I misspoke - it is a *single action* hammer fired pistol:

"The trigger mechanism, while still hammer-fired, was changed from the double-action only to a single-action pattern. "

Concern is obviously the same: there is a compressed spring ready to set off a round in your pocket.

I don’t have to depress mag release to load. Firm pressure will get the magazine to lock in. Hopefully yours will break in. It is a tight spring. If you were to empty a magazine in a defensive situation, you can almost use the mag release to shoot the empty mag at your attacker, it pops out so quickly.

I gave it a few sharp raps last night and it is now functioning as it should. needs only a light tap to seat it. Nice little gun. Carried a walther ppk/s in the 80s (still have it, but don’t know why), was convinced by a salesman at LGS that a G27 was about the same weight,size with more rds of higher energy ( still have it). Few years back a G 42 at 14 oz, about 8 less than the walther, more recently a sw bodyguard at 12 oz and now this at 10+ oz. running guns for my wife. Glock too big, BG just right and LCP2 even better. Soon, a 6 rd artificial finger.

I just did the paperwork on one yesterday, nice little pocket pistol. I see the factory Ruger mags are a little pricey though.

Javo-J10 · Apr 7, 2019

Did a quick search and found these:

I bought my extras in a 2 pack deal, can’t recall where, but probably from one of the usual online outfits...buds, grabagun, PSA, etc. With patience and an extensive search, maybe could do better.

$210. If you were on the fence, I’d say this is a “buy” price.
