Ruger LCP II .22LR First Impressions

[DanGunner]

Ordered this month as soon as it went on roster. Came today and DROSd immediately. Picked up today and immediately took it into range for a workout, All good. Ran through about 150 rounds of CCI Mini-mags plus one mag each of CCI SV and CCI Stingers. Everything cycled perfectly except for one round of Mini-mag that failed to fire twice despite good firing pin strikes. I was surprised at how accurate it is. Kept about 90% of shots inside 3.5-inch 8 ring on 6-inch target at 7 yards. I'd say it's the perfect pocket plinker and wouldn't be a bad pocket carry gun. 10 rounds of Stinger in the sternum would ruin any bad guy's day.

Congrats heard a lot of good things about them. Even saw post on another sight where a guy used one to stop a pit bull attack.

Glad you got one too ... I lucked into one... called the local shop to ask when will you get them in ?

"we got one right now , only one" .... glad there were no cops around to catch me speeding off to the shop

The only thing those three guns have in common is the caliber. Three very different guns, one is good for target bullseye type shooting, one is a good overall plinker and the other is a tiny little back up type gun. It’s certainly not a target gun and being so small it’s not really that good of a plinker. I wouldn’t get the LCP II until you have the other two covered, unless you plan on carrying as a back up gun.

MK > SR22 > LCPII

As said, depends on what you?re planning to use it for.

For target shooting, the LCP isn?t the best.

$350.

Snagged one today at Glaser Arms. $360 and I hear he has more on order. I got the last of the batch he just got in.

I love mine. A lot more fun to shoot than I thought it was going to be. It lives in my pocket when I'm out hiking around or doing work on the property.

I disagree completely. I bounce soda cans around at 15 yards with my little LCPII all the time. It's plenty accurate for that, and great fun, even with the not very good sights. I'd rather have the LCPII over the Smith every day of the week.

Exactly right. The only one of the three that can probably do triple duty is the SR-22. It has adjustable sights, it's somewhat small, and has decent accuracy.
