RUGER LCP II HOLSTERS & CARRY OPTIONS

[@packinaglock]

Took my LCP 2 to the range yesterday. That thing is such a sweet shooter for as small as it is. It ate everything I fed it.

[@whitesoxbob]

I just use the holster that came with my LCP 2. Because once I start buying holster for a gun I can't stop buying more.

[@Tgray2064]

whitesoxbob sooooooo true. Lol.

[@jaynecobb1]

Holsters are like potato chips.

[@Happ465]

I resemble that remark! LOL!

[@tombell1906]

That's what I needed to hear since I'm looking at holsters for one. Keep it simple with what it came with makes sense

[@Happ465]

@@tombell1906 I found the Superfly by DeSantis to be much better. I got it on Amazon for about $30.

[@TimHavens]

I've carried the LCPII for over 10 years using the stock Ruger pocket carry holster, and I absolutely LOVE it. I'd replace this LCPII with another one if I ever needed a new one LOL. Inexpensive, fun and EASY to accurately shoot. LOVE IT. The Ruger pocket carry holster is excellent at concealing in your pocket as well.

[@carlgraves6651]

Agree with you .Great video. Thanks. I just updated my Ruger collection to the Ruger LCP Max 380. Ruger is #1

At the 6:26 mark, Kydex holster made by Better Holsters out of Florida.

Sorry should say VEDDER HOLSTERS out of Florida.

[@blank557]

I discovered a DIY method to prevent gun printing in a pocket. Get a piece of "Granny Grating", a plastic mesh found in fabric shops that is used for embroidering. Carefully cut out a square with scissors to fit inside your pocket. Be sure not to leave any rough edges. Round the edges a bit. Put the mesh in your carry pocket. When you insert your mouse gun, insure the mesh in the pocket is facing away from the body, not next to it. The mesh is light-weight, and prevents the outline of the pistol from printing. Looks like you have just a smartphone in your pocket. I sewed the corners of my Ruger LCP II holster to a mesh square. The mesh helps keep the gun and holster from tipping forward in my pocket.

[@DD-xx3fp]

Thanks for the idea, going to try this with mine.

[@IR088Y]

Holy moly I didn't even know the underwear holster was a thing that in my opinion seems like the best one because I'm active and sometime dont wear pants with pockets and sometimes wear shirts that make it too easy to print

[@brianwinkler8183]

I went with a Remora with an Ulticlip. It has a sweat shield, so it works even walking all day. I do love the LCP II vs the LCP, the trigger and sights make it much better.

[@brassrainbow5568]

I have many handguns and for the past 4 years was carrying a Glock 42. I have always carried OWB at my 4 0’ clock. I realized with just a t-shirt I was printing pretty obvious. I began carrying the LCP II about 4 months ago and tried a Blackhawk I had nearly identical to your Uncle Mike’s. I tried appendix carry for shits and giggles which I had swore I’d never do. I absolutely love it and I’ll never go back. It is so comfortable I often don’t even realize I’m carrying except for the fact that I carry from the moment I get dressed in the morning till the moment I crawl into bed at night. I have excellent trigger discipline so I’m not worried about shooting my junk off and my draw from appendix is super fast! Even faster than my strong side. The LCPII is so perfectly sized I may never switch back to my G42 for EDC.

[@chief5981]

It’s been a game changer for me

[@drsvs]

Great video! Felt like I was chatting with a friend who knows his stuff.

[@thegreattailz]

This guy really knows his fashion. Gave ya a thumbs up. Thx for the video.

[@nealewatson5284]

I have been using the DeSantis pocket holster now for a while for my LCP2 and have found it to be my favorite. Sure, there could be improvements made I.E. Some way to make it breathable. It's very comfortable and once you figure out how to re-holster; (it's not difficult) it just works great. I wear jeans mostly if that helps. Be safe.

[@jaycamacho8179]

Just picked up an LCPII with Viridian laser, holster, +1 mag, cerakoted slide and painted sights for $280 !!!

[@jaycamacho8179]

Waiting on the stainless steel guide rod to arrive.

[@pissywilly]

SMGA has the regular lcp2 kit for $220 delivered. I picked one up. Great little piece.

[@dustycover3015]

Good buy, I paid $375 for the same setup but mine did come with two holsters.

[@rjherb5895]

Currently I'm using an Alabama Pocket Holster (kydex) for my LCP 2, it's a good holster but it does print the grip a little bit unless I'm wearing loose fitting pants. A few days ago I ordered a 2 sided Recluse Pocket Holster. (leather). I think the Recluse will take care of the printing issue. For my Shield 9mm I'm using a Vedder Light Tuck, and I like it a lot. They have great customer service, too.

[@chuckrf1502]

I love your videos - humorous and informative. Very well made too. Thank you.

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@idyh8391]

I have a comfortTac ankle holster with the added strap above the holster. I can wear it all day and forget I have it on. It is for the Ruger 380. Works great.

[@tamer1773]

I've been carrying concealed for forty five years and I wish we had kydex holsters back then. I use kydex OWB and IWB holsters now almost exclusively. The holsters from Vedder are good and so are the holsters from Concealment Express. Most of the others seem to be over engineered to the point that it's difficult to even get them on when you're older and have a little arthritis just to remind you.

[@pnuts4sean]

Thank you for your comment. As I'm dealing with bursitis in my hands this is useful information to have. You've saved me money!

[@samhicks7568]

Home Depot carries a small pack about the same size as a Sneaky Pete which is vinyl and zips up. Brand name is "Husky" Cost around $10.00 and is perfect for OWB carry. Great for riding motorcycle. Will fit up to and including a G42. Great video, thanks.

I love my Vedder holsters and Cobra Gun Belt. Their quality and customer service is as good as it gets. If possible I’ll choose them every time. Thanks for the great video!

[@mort6913]

Besides working as a pocket holster, the Sticky holster also works well as a friction retention inside the waistband holster. As long as you're not doing summersaults or parkour antics, it stays put.

[@skatecrew090582]

So I should probably get a different kind of holster

[@dreadjavapirate]

This is a VERY useful review - recommended.

[@tomfairbanks154]

I use the"clip Draw" Love it!

[@davidburgenmeyer1336]

Loved the video presentation! Very informative! Thanks to this video I'll just stay with my original lcp2 holster!

[@bcarss1970]

Sticky for me is the way to go for me. I have one for a few different firearms including LCPll and Shield 9. I don't use them as pocket holsters. They stay put between pants/shorts and my briefs. Bending over, hiking, jumping, etc.

[@tedb3562]

I just traded for a lcp2 that came with the ruger pocket holster. I love how this just hides away in the pocket. I’ll be looking at Vedder soon for iwb holster. But I’d like to get a good pocket holster that stays put on the draw. Nice video

[@jackalmereel]

In my opion it is not about appendix cary pointing at your junk so much as it pointing at your femoral artery.

[@paulblyatmallcop4914]

I’d probably rather bleed out than have an unscheduled rapid gender reassignment surgery.

[@joep8787]

The pocket holster that comes with the LCP2 is not sticky enough. You pull the pistol out fast and it comes out with the pistol. Then you have to take an extra scond or two to get the holster off the pistol and bring the pistol on the target. DeSantis makes two pocket holsters; the Nemesis and the Superfly. The Superfly is a lot more expensive, but a lot stickier. That's the pocket holster to get.

[@winterpatriot1429]

Now LCP Max, but these holsters still work!

[@wtpence4731]

I agree, NEVER point a gun at Anything you don't want to shoot ! Appendix carry is Not for me ! Great video !

[@richardp5161]

Thanks! This video reminds me that next time at the range I shouldn't just blast magazine after magazine without drawing from the pocket - I could have gotten 30 or 40 practice rounds off from the pocket draw but didn't - I guess I just get embarrassed doing the "dirty harry" thing...

[@DesignerAviaries]

I recall a cop stating he only drew his piece two or three times in his career !! Never expect to need my LCP since I avoid bad areas and situational awareness goes a long way. However, I will be hiking and biking remote areas during my retirement. It matters not if a threat has 2 legs or 4 legs. The only difference being human vermin may get a verbal warning to keep their distance.

[@LeeG7953]

I love the G42 but it’s size is a hindrance, the LCP2 is perfect for the days you want to carry for that off chance someone might want to do harm to me or someone I’m with. I then have my G43, 26 and my go to war gun my G19. I’ve found that having the right tool with you can fix most problems. Remember not every problem (nail) needs a hammer.

[@michaelbeary]

Love the hickock 45 reference. Great video.

[@americanmade422]

I love my lcp2 but the new max9 is nice too

[@преступный_мир]

Ofcourse he won't

[@bob_btw6751]

If you do not mind a little bulk and someone seeing it thenna Condor gadget pouch will hold an LCP 2, spare mags and some other things. Not a quickdraw carry because you have to unzip it for access, but it holds the LCP 2 22lr ok. Two molle straps lets you snap it onto a belt. If someone sees the pouch it doesn't look like a holster. Fine to use in rural or semi-rural areas, but urban might get some odd looks.

[@ianjones907]

I totally agree with your opinion on appendix carry. My weapon is for PROTECTING my valuables 😈😎

[@brassrainbow5568]

Ian Jones Unless you have poor trigger discipline it’s a non issue. I always said the same thing, but it is far and above the most comfortable way to carry a gun. I’ll never go back to 4 0’clock carry again. Much faster draw also. Can’t even feel it with the seatbelt on. I too was dead set against it for years, but not anymore.

I have a Blackhawk that is nearly identical. I carry my LCPII right side appendix daily for the past 4 months. I run with it. Work with it. Drive with it. Not once has it come lose on me. Super comfortable too. Just make sure the plastic clip is over your belt. I love mine.

[@calebmelton5989]

Yeah crap holster

[@jay_kun]

I just bought a new in box Ruger LCP 380 and it came with the same pocket holster that the LCP 2 comes with. I also have the Uncle Mikes size 1 holster but in my opinion he LCP fits a bit too loose with it.

[@idyh8391]

If you take the clip off the vedder holster it would make a nice pocket holster

[@inkeduped5005]

Have you looked into Stealth Gear? Every holster is handmade in the USA for your specific model. Many styles and can get them with or without a mag holster. I have five of their holsters (EMP, Sigx3. Glock). Just picked up the LCP2 so I'll be getting a sixth.

[@Frank-uf2vn]

I cant Carrie on the waist, appendix or 4 or 5 o clock, its uncomfortable (while driving) and living in NY I want my handgun in the exact same place when I leave the house as it is when I get back without moving it once I'm in the car, sooner or later someone will see you with it and you will have a cop come up behind you! When I bought my Ruger .380 lcp, I picked up the Uncle Mike's pocket holster, I was going to order a DeSantis nemesis if it wasn't going to work for me (and it didn't) so I tried the pocket holster that came with it & to my surprise it worked perfectly?

Weapons without an external thumb safety should be carried in holster that is hard enough to guarantee that the trigger can never depressed....kydex is really the best option...holsters should also never collapse, they are extremely dangerous for reholstering

I've had my Ruger LCP II for over a year and the best holster is the Fobus paddle. Inside the pocket the holster that comes with it is sufficient but the Allen spider works better. The Flap holsters works very good. The We the people IWB tends to ride up and out when you sit and the various strap retention's, belt, and shoulder I find the strap gets in the way of a draw, currently there is no paddle with a positive retention for the Ruger.

Its very very snappy, but more like a mule kick. Stick with your Tuarus. Easy to grip and looks slick. If your hands cant hold the size of the gun then you wont ever carry or shot it.

I have the de Santis and have had the mag release pressed multiple times now. The clip is no longer engaged when I pull the gun out of the holder.
