LCP2 in .22LR

I found there to be a very distinct difference between the two. The LCPII may not have a lighter trigger pull, but definitely crisper and more consistent. I also like the sights and grip much better on the LCPII. But, to each their own.....

$300.00 for a LCP? I can understand that it is nice to have a 22.cal trainer for a small barrel pistol or any firearm. But that price for a LCP is crazy. Maybe if it was around $150.00. And then only if it was the GEN 2 Not LCPll. The Gen 2 was a nice smooth DAO. I personally would not carry a LCPll trigger.

Went to the range with mine today
Super excellent little shooter. Accurate and easy ergonomics. I meet more magazines. Lol!!!! The little loader works well.

ShopRuger.com has a two-pack of mags for these at about $48.00.
I finally picked up my LCP-II in 22LR today from the dealer but we also got about 4 inches of snow last night so ..... other things to do besides shooting it.

I just ignore it for now until I can disconnect it. Great little shooter
Like some have said the safety issue is s non issue for someone who has shot thousands of rounds thru a 1911, it's automatic to hit the safety. Secondly this little gun is a blast to shoot, 0 ftf but I have only used CCI Velocitors so far. Keeper.

First of all I would not pay $300.00 for any LCP. I get the idea of a 22.cal in a small barrel for training. And the 22.cal in that pistol is a better design than the 380 which is too powerful of a cartridge for the build quality of that gun. I also would not want a LCPll trigger. The DAO of the GEN 2 was ideal. Problem is not many folks want to train with a DAO. The light break of the LCP with very little want is great for range vanity when trying to shoot one like a Target gun, but these are not target guns.
I use to believe in a safety on a firearm. My views have changed. Now just a good DAO trigger. Especially would not have a safety on a Light trigger no matter how much I have trained with a safety.

Shops here don't have the guns yet, let alone extra mags. The one I bought was the only one I say and I called all out shops for about 50 miles.
I'll for sure pay that amount for 2 extra mags.
And I've been carrying mine this week in a DeSantis Inside Heat IWB ..... very nice fit.

My experience with the LCP II .22 mirrors yourssilverback said:
I've about 300 rounds (Federal field pack and Blazer) through mine with only only one stoppage. That was a failure to fire on the last magazine during my last range trip. I believe it to be ammo related as the round had a decent hit on it:
Accuracy wise, be it luck of the draw or excellent quality control, mine shoots right to it's sights at 10 yards. If I do my part, the little gun is certainly capable of doing it's. The following photo is from that last mag I mentioned above, so there are nine rounds total on the target. I shot these two handed, standing and willing concede that this a "perfect storm" as my groups are usually much larger, but there's no way I wasn't taking a photo of it. That's a 3" diameter splatter target.
The safety is not an issue for me and the magazine disconnect does not affect trigger pull.
No way this doesn't stay in my range bag. It will probably go along on hikes as well
FWIW, I picked up a two pack of magazines from Classic Firearms that was $42.03 to my door.

Thumbs up. My experience as well. Great little shooter. Major fun.
Picked up one of these pistols yesterday. Cleaned it and headed for the range this morning. I ran 50 rounds of CCI mini-mag and 50 rounds of CCI standard velocity and both performed well. No issues @ all.
This little pistol just became my woods hiking and bowhunting buddy.

A two of mags will be on the way for me as well
Shot mine again yesterday. It liked most everything except for CCI Blazer ammo. It would on occasion fail to feed on the 4th or 5th round regardless of which magazine I used(3). It really liked the Mini-mag Stingers. When it fed properly it was impressively accurate for such a tiny package. Guess I am going to get more Stingers...

I got one and it is a great cheap-ammo trainer. It is so identical to the 380 model that you need to be careful. Unfortunately, the slides interchange, not functionally, but physically.
I always check for the manual safety on the .22lr one to be sure.

Train with the .22lr safety off. I actually wish the 380 model had the safety. I'm not a fan of the magazine disconnect though. I think their philosophy was to add the safety measures to a model used for training down to the newbie level.

I am free from that goofy loader. I found a video on YouTube where the guy simply put the finger of the hand holding the mag up against the side of the mag where the round is a little unstable side to side. Now I'm loading the little mags almost as fast as my SR22 mags only without the little come-along down the side of the mag. AND no cut fingers from that sharp top edge.
