Ruger LCP II 22lr range trip :)

I love mine. I still haven't cleaned it, including before the first time I shot it. It's in my pocket right now.

About the only good thing I have found from those Winchester Super X 100rnd 22lr boxes are the boxes themselves.

I have never had ammo so consistently NOT work in every 22LR firearm I have tried it in.

Aguila bulk 38gr hp/40gr round nose high velocity runs amazingly good in everything.

I sent mine back to Ruger because I was getting many failures to fire. They replaced the barrel and sent it back with a statement to not use Winchester ammo. Have very few issues since and avoid Win stuff. Unfortunately, I have two lifetimes supply of Win Wildcat HV 40 grn!

You know what that means? It means you need to find some guns to consume those two lifetimes supply of Win Wildcat ammo

My Buckmark loved that ammo.
Never a problem.

I say the LCP II 22 needs at least 150-200rds for a break in. And it needs to be cleaned after EVERY range trip. I was surprised how much crud I cleaned off the feed ramp and chamber after only 200rds.

On a whim, I bought a pair of the LCP II .22 a couple of years ago and out of the box (after cleaning and lubing them) both has some FTF and FTE issues with CCI SV and Mini Mags. Maybe 2-3 incidences per mag. I also had issues with two of the four mags I had (bought two extra since the gun only comes with one), holding only 9 instead of 10. After some research, I fixed the mags; the bottom plates were factory installed incorrectly on the two. On the maiden voyage, I shot maybe 50 rds each.

On a second trip to the range, I shot approx. 100 rds each and things loosened up a bit, getting better. Before my third trip, I throughly cleaned and lubed the guns, but also polished the feed ramps a bit with Flitz and a bunch of Q-Tips, getting rid of some tiny burrs. The guns worked even better the 3rd trip, maybe a FTE every 3-4 mags. Also IMO, limp wristing these tiny guns can also make them FTE.

Now, after several hundred rounds, both work very well; out of maybe 50 rounds, I might have a FTF, usually a dud round. Mini Mags and Federal Punch are the favorite rounds for these LCP IIs. IMO, these guns might need a good break-in period to be considered "reliable". I gave one of them to my son's girlfriend for CCW; she wanted a concealed carry pistol but a tiny one, and she had a very hard time with my LCP in .380. She loves the .22 LCP and 10 rds of .22 is better than nothing.

Nice!
I just sold my SR22 and lost $$$ to buy one of these.
I'm still waiting for it.Just like most people I overpaid for the Sr22
when it was off roster but nowadays it's tough to sell one for $300.
