Ruger LCPII 22LR Review

[@daveholmes123]

Sir, I'd just like to say you did a wonderful job, walking us through that hand gun very professional thank you!👍

[@icarusairways6139]

After these many years I can still hear my father say, "A .22 is all you need, if you use it right." I carry my Ruger LCP .22 daily.

Have both 22LR and 380 auto. Both are 100% reliable and very accurate at 10 yards. My toughest decision is which one to carry. Good video. Great pistol.

[@cartelplug8183]

Did your lcp2 22 jam a lot because of the ammo my friends did not like hallow points is yours ammo finicky ?

[@14bonanza]

We bought 2 of these. Mini Mags had an 8% failure to fire rate. Took the failed rounds and tried them in 2 other pistols. Still would not fire. Seems CCI has some quality issues. Not one Winchester round of any type would eject. Failure to feed in several other brands. Found Aguila Super Extra and Blazers worked pretty much flawlessly. With the right ammo, this thing is a joy to shoot.

[@brc1945]

I agree the Blazer Aguila SE are the best for this.

[@pyrogun1839]

Winchester .22 is only good for manually operated actions. They've never worked in my semi auto pistols.

[@rafaelmadrigal9038]

I picked up an LCP II 22 LR yesterday from Academy and found very neat machinery on all its parts and no metal shavings anywhere. Took it apart, clean and lube , I went to the range today and tried it and it went boom, every time. Sights were good and on target. Neat little lite gun, love it. I also own the original LCP and worked fine for years, no problem.

[@TexasNightRider]

I too picked one up at Academy with an extra magazine. Sometimes I just want to carry something lighter than my Glock 27.

[@Vaille32]

I love that this pistol has a safety. When I use a kydex waistband holster, I keep my thumb against the lip of the holster as I draw. This causes the safety to hit my thumb and disengage on the draw. It’s a very nice feature.

Unfortunately it will fail you when you need it. As the man said here .22 will unfortunately fail. Murphy's Law. If something can go wrong it will and will do so at the worst possible time. I would love to have my wife be able to carry a .22 for self defense because she shoots it comfortably but the rim fire ammo just isn't worth the risk. IMHO

[@2Timone7]

Well said, but if you're going to absolutely apply Murphy's law then you must apply it to all calibers rim fire or no.

I think we are missing the point here. No one said anything about perfect. The rim fire has a higher failure rate and therefore less likely to be a good carry option. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Great review. I love mine, it's a good companion for my .380 LCPII, as I pretty much hate to practice with the .380. So far I've had no problems with Mini Mag or Velocitor. I'd feel fairly confident at this point carrying it with the Velocitor ammo. 10 or 11 rounds can be unleashed in very short order, and a spare mag can fit in a watch pocket. It's really, really fun to plink with.

*The Most common mentioned misconception of. 22 LR Is, It's not enough for conceal carry. Military Spec Requirements are penetration of a 3/4" pine board at 400 yards. Yes, a .22LR does It quite affectivly.*

[@micfail2]

Most criticisms I hear of 22LR for concealed carry has more to do with reliability than power.

[@kopasznyaku]

400 yard for a pistol? 40 at max. I’ll believe this is a weak ammo from anyone who takes a handful in the chest/head from close range and lives to tell they’re weak.

#1. There was only one kind of cartridge that ran well with my LCP 22lr - 40 grain CCI minimags. What did not work well - CCI 36 grain minimags, CCI velocitors, stingers, golden bullets, and a Winchester round. My first LCP 22lr I returned after 600 rounds for constant failures to feed. #2. I found the holster came out with the gun if I had baggy pockets. #3. Loading can bite at your thumb, but with a little practice it is no big deal. I like my LCP 22lr

saw this item at gun show. got to have it. 22 for self def.? I think 3 quick shots would stop most any perp and you have 7 more, just in case. excellent vid. thanks

[@sweet65mustang]

People debate this endlessly. I'm pretty sure that most thugs would break off an attack after being hit with just one 22lr. My thought on this is a gun comes out of nowhere, bang, pain in the chest. Now, what goes through their mind? "What caliber was that?" "That wasn't too bad, I'll just walk it off." "Did you just shoot me with a 22?". I doubt it. Most likely "oh $(-)!'!' I've been shot!" And "I better get out of here because I'm sure there's more where that came from". Those that don't get the message at that point probably wouldn't, even being hit with a 45acp. You'd need something serious like a 44 mag or a cns hit to get their attention. My only problem with a 22 for personal defense is the reliability issues.

[@normr3105]

Michael, thanks for your logic. Personally, and I'm no expert by any means, all semi's have some degree of reliability problem. My Kimber Raptor 45 misfeeds occasionally. I hope we never have to draw on anyone!

Excellent review, much appreciated. In particular... all the little details AND the emphasis on safety.

[@oldcop18]

My LCPII is a .380 and runs like a champ, great EDC for a senior citizen. My only concern for their .22 model is the big IF consistent w/rim fire ammo, failure to fire. Even w/CCI IF that happens you’ll have to rack the slide during an attack and you may not be able to do that (I’ve survived three deadly force incidents). I’d only recommend this for someone who could not handle the recoil of a center fire weapon. Great info packed review.

[@garyivy6983]

I have read that it becomes a mess trying to remove .22 ammo by racking.

[@goodfoot7926]

My brother bought this pistol and he let me shoot it. I also have it in .380 and the LCP ii in 22 has no recoil to speak of and it is accurate as hell with cci stingers. I was hitting full size silhouette target out to 25 yards constantly and the only thing I would do is just paint the front sight and maybe add a laser and keep this as a backup gun.

[@ray.d.oeaux1230]

Great review. This pistol is super lightweight and is perfect for pocket-carry in light shorts. It's very reliable and accurate, and it's easy to rack and shoot. Per Captain Obvious: While a .22LR is not the first choice for self-defense, no one (and I do mean no one) wants to get shot with a .22LR. Yes, a .22LR in your pocket is better than the .45 than that you left at home when you need a gun.

same size as a SW bodyguard. Did a side by side yesterday. i don't like the single action on this gun. cocked and locked isn't for me.

[@keldonator]

I really like mine for plinking. I could never use it as my EDC because the safety shouldn't be there. Also, the magazine disconnect on rare occasions prevents me from pulling the trigger without smacking the magazine and that just can't happen on an EDC. The light rack and 10 round capacity is great. It also shoots everything I have tried in it. I love the trigger pull on the LCP2. I will continue to EDC my LCP1 380. I think they had it right for its intended purpose the first time around (although that trigger is 8 lbs).

[@viscious_uv2]

MCARBO has the springs to lighten that trigger.

[@brc1945]

On the 380, they just have recoil spring for 22lr.

Mine had me pulling my hair out for a couple months. it would have some kind of failure on every mag. Long story short it was the extractor spring. on mine the extractor would not grab the round at all. if it did cycle it was blowback kicking the round out. Put in an aftermarket extractor spring super simple and now its as reliable as my Ruger sr22 which has never failed me. guess i got a bad one but its an easy cheap fix

Good revue thanks. Helpful to mention whether guide rod, mag, sights, trigger are plastic or metal.

I want to like Ruger and they do some good work. My question is why can't the make a safety design that makes sense and STAY WITH IT. The SR22 goes up for safety off instead of down now this is different from that. They seem very confused with all these pistol models and I believe that is hurting them.

[@luketilley9137]

And the safety sucks. The very reason I will not buy one of these. Cool looking little gun. The sr22 is going to get someone killed with the upside down safety!

[@stephenjohnson8061]

Thanks for a very informative report. You know your stuff...

[@Sanwizard1]

Nice overview. I used white nail polish for the front sight. Worked great. I found Aguila and Fiocci 40 gr work better than CCI mini mags in my particular gun.

[@billredding2000]

I used a bit of Testors "Flourescent Orange" I got @ Michaels...but other stores (Hobby Lobby?) likely have it also. However, what I REALLY wanted to carry in this gun was Federal Punch -- only works about 80% of the time (probably due to the longer case and FN), not at all reliable enough so Punch is out for CARRY ammo. Slow Fire, that is: If I shoot them as fast as I can, they ALL cycle properly, just won't do so with slower/aimed fire. Weird. Anyway, will just depend on Mini Mags (high-velocity 40gr solids). But it does seem to shoot other ammo I've tried w/o issue also: Remington Golden Bullets (40gr RN), Federal Black Pack (36gr HPs, which MAY be identical to CCI's 36gr HP Mini-Mags). -- BR

[@texastoast5202]

Two things: Ruger should have included a very small tool to help with removing take down bolt and 2, should have made magazines with a lever that makes it easy to keep bullets and follower down when loading. Two very easy corrections and ur good to go.

[@theshark84724]

I wish .32 was more common and they chambered the LCP in it. Centerfire for reliably, larger than .22, and the recoil should be right in the sweet spot for that size gun.

These are solid guns, could use backstrap options though for bigger hands. Also, I wish we could get rid of the bladed lawyer triggers on everything. More room in the trigger guard would be better for gloves too.

Its plausible as a defense piece. Something like the Taurus PT22 isn't as it doesn't have an extractor. A failure to eject with it and you are done. Similar to a Kel Tec P17 and its slide design. This you'd still have a fighting chance of clearing the gun by racking the slide.

[@robertlipsey6056]

Good information. What is the trigger pull weight on your example?

[@Gizmowerks]

I got one today. Ran a patch down barrell and wiped off excess oil from factory. Tried about 6 different rounds today for a total of 300 through brand new pistol. I had 30+ miss-fires. All weak strikes but no fire. I took some and rechambered and they then fired on the 2nd try. Brands were: federal hunter match, federal bulk ammo, remmington bulk ammo, cci mini mag, cci standard velocity, browning bulk (most offensive), and eley club because it was on hand. I expect to break in a pistol but my confidence in dependability is waning this time. Are other people’s results better? Accuracy is nice considering Also, I tried single handed and double to eleminate grip issues for blowback varience. All the ammo on hand is new and fires reliably in other firearms I use

[@Gizmowerks]

gee, I hate to send it back! I am the kind of guy who eats a steak no matter how it’s cooked. How many round in your opinions is thoroughly broken in? Funny thing too is I remarked on how much oil was in the firing pin mechanism when I first inspected it out of the box. Oil pumped out when the pin was pushed manually. Then later found out it isnt reliable. The barrel crown, slide, and other parts still have machining burrs on them. They are bad enough to catch cotton fibers from a wipe down. Im not disappointed with this pistol but this all adds up to make me wonder

Ill shoot about 30 rounds of 9mm, then switch to the sr22 to practice the fundamentals. I own em both and they are always in my range bag even when im just out to shoot the 9 and 40sw.

Did you try CCI stingers ?

[@Vaille32]

The barrel is 2.75.” Stingers are 36 grain. The extra powder they would use doesn’t burn; it blows out the muzzle. The net result is a lighter slug powered by an average amount of fuel. Stingers are no good w/ this gun; the barrel is simply too short. Stingers are truly intended for rifles, where all the powder will burn. I do have them in my Walther P22, however. The barrel is ~4.5” and I have a compressor on it.

[@77klinok]

Ruger is better to improve the take down system on this gun. The ridiculous, difficult, and long outdated, take down pin that they use on this otherwise well thought out gun, is unacceptable for the modern pistol. The best and easy takedowns are on Beretta 92fs, on Glock, on Sig Sauer 226, etc. Also, if they would use firing pin in the form of the round hammer head, instead of the flat blade, they would improve the chances of ignition of the rimfire ammunition, as well as the longevity of the firing pin.

I have had my LCP II 22lr for about a little over a year, fired about 250-300 CCI mini mags through it and it broke. I couldn't pull the trigger., it was like it never reset. Sent it back to Ruger, got it back in less than ten days. They said the trigger bar was replaced. I fired it yesterday (total rounds since I got it back was about 250 -300) and, IT BROKE AGAIN. Same issue, trigger felt like it never reset. Anyone else have these issues? I think Ruger is more intent on getting guns out the door rather than making quality guns. It wasn't like this when Bill Ruger was alive.

[@slayer8actual]

I've sold many of these in past couple of years and I have yet to get even one back for repairs. The only complaints I've ever heard of from customers is that it can be picky on ammo which can be a problem at this time due to the difficulties in getting particular brands. There's plenty of cheap stuff out there, but the quality ammo can be hard to find. Others have told me that it fires anything they put in it. Regardless, as far as anything breaking - not one complaint or return. It's odd that you got two bad parts in a row, but unfortunately, it sounds like you might have just gotten very unlucky this time around. I don't know how you treat guns that have failed, but once a gun lets me down in practice, I find it very difficult to regain that trust especially if it's intended to be a carry gun. I have lots of fun plinking guns but I would never carry them. I know this is going to hurt some feelings but I had a Glock jam up on me in a firefight while in Iraq and even though I still like them and have many different models, I don't carry one, nor will I ever. That one incident left a very bad taste. Still a great gun, but you might say I've 'lost that loving feeling." Hope you get that back with your Ruger. I think it's a very good gun and would have no problem carrying one should the need arise for a very small pocket gun.

If I was going to carry such a small gun it would be a Kel-Tec p32 . It is bit smaller and definitely more lethal with very little recoil and cheaper!!!

But then it wouldn't be a Ruger. So...no thanks.

@@Jeremiah17seven I mean the original lcp was just a knock off of the p32s big brother the p3at
