I’m glad I seen these comments because I’m wanting to buy the Ruger 22LR for primary carry. I have a Ruger LCR 9mm but it’s of course bigger and more difficult to carry on me. Ive watched several vids and they all say not good for self defense. But a bullet is a bullet and it would definitely slow someone down. I’m going to be shooting my attacker in 2 places…head & heart.

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

What is the purpose of this pistol? Years ago there were many many small pocket size and easily concealable .22 LR semi-auto pistols and revolvers. For some strange reason many were discontinued or took about a 12 year hiatus on production. That couldn't have been more dumb by the manufactures. These .22s were/are very very popular and often sell 10:1 to their other pistols. Nearly everyone should have at least one and needs one. They are cheap to shoot and are fun. You won't find a better tackle box gun for boat and fishing than a small .22 LR semi-auto or revolver. They work great as guns for doing lawn and garden work and farming for the same reason. It's hard to beat one for taking out the trash and quick runs to town or to the gas station. They work great for pest control and fill that role very well. How many times have you been working out on your property and saw a groundhog, skunk, possum, chipmunk, gopher, rat, raccoon etc...etc... that needed shot and you left your overpowered .45 ACP in the house? I know a farmer close to me that goes out to his chicken coop to feed his chickens and gather eggs with a S&W 317 in his pocket. He's shot countless raccoons trying to sneak into his chicken coop and kill his chickens. Everybody should own a "smallish" .22 LR of some type. While the larger target pistols work great for competition and target shooting they are too large to tote around on a regular basis.

I don't want to be shot with anything, no matter the caliber. Hell, some air guns are scary. That being said, it doesn't make it optimal for self defense, not only is it less reliable (rim fire) it's a mouse gun. Greg Elifritz has an amazing collection of data of real world shootings, and 22,25 and 32 all fail at stopping the bad guy at almost double the rate as 380acp or larger.

Cheap to shoot which means I’ll shoot it more. 🤘🏼

I have a LCP not an LCP2 and not in 22lr just a regular LCP in .380 .I never thought I’d like a gun so small since I’m a big handed man I like my full sized Glock 22 but I live in Phoenix Arizona so I spend most of the year in basketball shorts and athletic shorts ,I carried my LCP everyday for 1 year straight even in the winter because of how much I fell in love with it ,the gun weighs even in .380 just as much as my wallet or my iPhone and is just as big as my iPhone X and with the advancements in both .380 and 9mm in the last few years I found it a great carry gun. There was a firework stand owner just 10 miles from me here in Arizona last 4th of July he was getting ready to close up shop and a guy with a gun ran up on him demanding his money the firework stand owner had his .380 LCP in his pocket he took it out shot the guy in the face 1 time and killed him , the bad guys girlfriend was his get a way driver she must have saw her man get shot in the face because she got out of her car and ran away on foot screaming lol. I’ve only been robbed once and it was while I was walking into a bathroom in Las Vegas a guy pulled a knife on me and told me give him what I had in my pocket this was years before I was legally able to carry so I didn’t have a gun on me but if I would have had my LCP he allowed me to go in my pocket I’m not saying it’s always a good idea to fight back I’m just saying bad guys expect guns to come from holsters not the pocket.

Mid West. Yeah ,I’m sorry I just didn’t want to respond if you weren’t asking me.

[@paulgonzales3116]

You heard tell correctly. 10 shots dead on at any distance they'll leave you alone. If anybody argues that then ask if you can practice on them. Tell them to attack you at say 30 feet and you shoot em 10 times see if they'll keep attacking you. I think that at 2 or 3 shots they'll leave you alone.

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.

Only problem I have with this gun is that it doesn't come standard with 2 mags in the box. Any gun, especially a 22 should come standard with two mags when the retail price is anything over $200. I'm guessing by the MSRP of $350 these will be going for $250 to $300 at most shops. It would be one thing if the mags were like $15 to $20 each, but when a single mag is $35 and a two pack is $50, ruger really needs to stop screwing over there buyer base with this one mag bullshit.

With .22 rounds failing to ignite being a pretty common issue, you'd think someone would have made a gun with multiple strike firing pins. If it fails to fire you can rotate the round and hit the rim in a different area and they usually go off. So why not a gun that hits the back of the round at the same time with 3 strikes in different areas?

the problem is that rimfire cartridges are already hard to set off and need a slightly harder hit, therefore you need a stronger trigger which makes a heavier trigger pull, to pull something off with multiple hits that are hard enough you'd have a trigger that's so heavy to pull it's nearly unusable

I don't think it's necessarily a picky piece, but you're really testing your luck if you carry it without using high quality ammo that you've tested personally with your own LCP.

22LR has always been the round I chose for plinking and just having fun. Given the low cost of ammo compared to the larger calibers, I can have fun without worrying about the cost. This gun looks like it would be a blast to play around with. Still, I'm going to wait to make sure any initial problems, if any, are ironed out.

[@livincincy4498]

I think Ruger has made a fun trainer with this one. The lite weight gives the 22 LR a felt recoil, the small sights teach point shooting, and as you noted there is trigger time. If you have a 22 Bullet Catcher you can harvest all the 22 lead for casting & reloading other Calibers. The 36 grain 22 adds up when you put hundreds down range. Figure about a pound of lead every time you shoot (200) x 36 grain bullets [200 x 36 = 7200 grains ~ about a pound].

@@rugermader4485 In a pistol length barrel you lose a lot of velocity because the round was designed for rifle length barrel, Much of the poweder would burn outside the pistol length barrel. 22 wmr is difficult to get to properly function in a pistol.

[@davevabch]

What is the POINT? I was Lobbying for Ruger to come out with a LCP in 22.cal years ago. Anyone that shoots a Small barrel pistol on a regular basis and carries one every day need to train as much a possible. I have been shooting pocket guns almost weekly for over 10 yrs. They can perform much better than the internet Propaganda tells people. If you carry a 380 it is nonsense to NOT get the 22. That said, as much money as this gun cost. It damn well better shoot standard velocity ammo.

[@MichaelSoothingASMR]

It would make a fine carry, cc weapon. If you look at cci high velocity and what it does to sides of beef and such, and the stats (more people killed every year by 22 ammo than any other rounds), and then you couple that with ease of use, ease of carry, and superb accuracy, plus the ability to basically carry it in a pocket, there's nothing wrong with this is a cc weapon during times when you want to go "light".

[@allenbmooresharinginformation]

Not a good trainer at all for actual LCP. It was foolish for Ruger to not truly duplicate same functionality as LCP II. I was lost at side safety and further turned off by S&W style magazine safety. Maybe they will learn to do mirror image at some point.

[@Goldenwithaleash]

Why did they put that stupid safety on there? There isn’t a safety on the standard LCP.

I only care about accuracy under 25 yards, and this gun is super accurate, and will stop anyone in their tracks..I have to paint the front sight soon, as it is harder to latch on target at dusk..I highly recommend this gun to carry once you find out it’s ammo appetite, and like trigger speed and accuracy for targets under 25 yards..

Glock releases a Glock 19 chambered in 22lr and can only fit 10 rounds in a mag that can normally hold 15 rounds of 9mm. Ruger can fit 10 rounds of 22lr in a mag a 1/3 of the size. If that isn't Glock being lazy scumbags I don't know what is. This new Ruger looks like a ton of fun, especially for training new shooters that are intimidated by larger handguns & calibers.

@@Junior-zf5ed Seriously. Glock blew it on the 44. No threaded barrel, 10 rnd mag. Glock claimed that the 10rnd capacity was for reliable feeding. Taurus copied Glock on the offset base single stack they use and fit 16 rounds in reliably. The Taurus is same size so it can be an effective trainer for numerous handguns, threaded barrel, nice sights. It's also fixed so it's more accurate than the Glock. It's also more affordable. Time will tell how it holds up and wears but Glock blew it on the 44/22. I own every Glock except for an 18 so I'm not a hater. Lately they just have been making some poor decisions.
