LCP2 in .22LR
- Thread starter gunman42782

Interesting, but unlike the .380 version I'd have absolutely no use for it.
I think a little LCP-sized .22 could be a neat, and maybe even a useful little item.
Yesterday, I wasn't even thinking of such a gun, but I could easily end up with one of these.
Two weeks ago I also wasn't thinking about a Glock in .22LR, but the day after it was announced, I had one on order. 8)

I agree with Wayne. I think it might be a neat little training piece for the .380 version. Shoots a lot cheaper....

I looked at the website and don't understand, if it was designed to be a practice gun for those with the LCP II, why does it have a manual safety? If I need to use my .380 LCP II in a life or death situation, I sure as hell don't want to be fumbling for the safety. JMHO
Guessing it has a manual safety to comply with some stupid legislative mandates regarding tiny rimfire pistols.
IE: “Saturday night special” legislation.
I’ll probably end up with one of these, even with the manual safety.

Interesting... I will be looking out for one.

This is a self-defense option for a recoil-sensitive person with impaired hand strength. Ten rounds of .22lr will go a long way toward discouraging bad guys.

I may need to keep my eye open for one of these.

The original doesn’t have a safety so what am I missing?

the original has a very long heavy trigger pull , more like a heavy double action revolver , the LCP II has a much lighter trigger pull with just that little Glock like safety lever in the face of the trigger ,

Whatever makes you guys happy I suppose. Enough of that.
I have a pistol or two somewhere stored away that has a safety on them.....
As for this little pistol... the part about using it for practice makes sense.... except if you are using it for practice over the larger caliber pistols why change the safety design? I suppose the best way would be to just leave it off all the time.. like I do with my MK III. I'll never understand the thinking behind that stupid double trigger Gluck came up with.

I'll be getting one of these. Since I cut my teeth on 1911s and Hi Powers the thumb safety is a non issue.
I've got one. 85 rounds through it and the trigger is a lot nicer. It's down to about 5 lbs. Bought it for my wife and she can't handle recoil. This little gun doesn't have any.
The manual says you can dry fire it with no problems. It needs hi v ammo to cycle the slide.

I'm thinkin' that it is a good way to learn trigger control when shooting a small DAO pistol, without having to pay $15 a box for ammo. So.....will there be conversion kits for those of us who already have an LCPII?

I have the original LCP and I bought the LCPII thinking the trigger pull would be better than the older model. It wasn't. They both break at between 5 and 6 lbs, which is not all that bad. I put the LCPII back into the safe and am still carrying the older one because it has a SS slide.
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.
