Review: New Ruger LCP II in 22lr is a Lite Rack! 

I painted my front site bright green without drilling. Works great!

22plinkster was hitting targets at 100 & 150 on his video so I'd say its pretty accurate

I have been cc my XDS and shooting my 44 AutoMag. Just bought my wife a LCP II. My days are over with these heavy guns. I fell in love with this little 22. Actually very easy to shoot and very accurate. A perfect easy carry self defense weapon. And will do the job.

One reviewer solved the sight problem by painting the rear sight green and the front sight orange.

500 CCI Mini Mags through mine and nary a hiccup.

My lcp 2 380 has been one of the most reliable firearms I've owned. Its size makes it loud and hard to shoot tight groups however. So I got the lcp 22. Gonna be a great plinker I'm sure.

After watching your well detailed presentation I have the feeling that I must buy yet another gun I do not need. At least this one will not present a storage problem.

I LOVE mine. What a fun, fun 22LR pistol! I'm actually pretty OK with it as an emergency deep carry defense gun. You can stick a spare mag or two into a watch pocket.

Good video...Sights work depending on target( light vs dark)...mine is very accurate at close range where it is designed to use. I have had a few failures in 500 rounds with various ammo but CCI is flawless. Seems the extractor spring could be a bit stronger...It is light enough to carry as a neck gun and I’m going to make a little neck holster...most practical and fun little gun that I’ve purchased in a while...been carrying it in my pocket around my place when cutting trees and firewood...don’t even know it’s there...and I certainly do not feel unarmed or handicapped with this little .22lr....

Another excellent video Mr. Hammerstriker! Always informative and nothing we don't need. Your videos are easy for me to share with folks who aren't "firearms familiar".

Yours looked plenty accurate for what it is meant for. Also, enough with the constant refrain that it’s not viable for self defense. The LCP 380 is a pain (literally) to shoot and I would use this as a pocket gun with CCI Stingers every time over the 380 model.

I put a 4 round extension on mine and now it's a 15 shot. I also added a laser sight. I love this little guy. It's a keeper.

11 rounds will make anything start leaking fluids.!!

Its a match to the LCP 380. However, one mag of 380 will buy you a box of 22. At 1000 rounds it becomes a FREE gun. Yes, get one for sure. It's my back up now.

THANK YOU for stating that a trigger “safety” is a drop safety. So many reviewers simply call it a “safety”, and that might lead to complacency. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey, Hammer Stricker I bought one and it runs everything I use 60 grain AGILIA AMMO through it [ not sure if I spelled that right] but it fired that ammo FANTASTIC! Put a 50rds with it no problems. Thought that I would have a stove pipe or eject problem but I did not. I would not want to be hit with that round!!!! Thanks Ham&egger

Gonna pick one of these up great vid. But I guess it depends on who’s shooting it 22 plinkster was hitting hitting targets at 80 yards with it.

Winchester ammo is what I use for clearing jams because you never know when that crap will fail

As always an informative and honest review. I really appreciate the way you present the different objects. Looking forward to the next update. Thank you.

I just picked one up. New favorite gun 👍 super accurate, works with most ammo- bulk Winchester white box it didn’t like in mine, otherwise, all quality ammo it eats up!

I use CCI Mini Mag 22 LR SHP (Segmented Hollow Point) in mind just in case I need to defend myself with this little guy

would be a very good light weight trappers gun

I just bought one for my daughter who is very petite in statue. After taking this gun to the rang and putting 5 different types of ammo though it (100rds). It did not jam or mis fire one time out of 100rds. This gun looks like it is well on to passing the one that Dad approves for his doughter test. 11 rounds of fire and brimstone could very well equal hell for any attacker!!

Ordered one yesterday, can't wait to get it

wish Ruger would make this in .32acp.

After a thorough degreasing, the sights could maybe be highlighted with Testors or similar flat white enamel model paint on the rear sight and maybe day glow orange, over flat white, on the front sight. Possibly using a similarly sized area at the top, on each (L/R) side, of the notch on the rear sight. A spent casing rim works for prying out the take down pin.

I put a little bright orange nail polish on my front sight,that works good to pick up the front.

A tremendously presented review. Thank you very much.

I’ve been really thinking about getting this. I have the 10th anniversary lcp one and I love it but want something for plinking without breaking the bank on ammo. This is a good option considering that .22 LR is a cheap and not to hard to find round with these days today.

Very good, honest & objective review. BTW I' getting one...

Pretty good groups for someone who says the sights are no good. Nice videos.

Very much disagree about not being a very good accurate grouping gun the sights work great Start firing the gun you can hit anything you want,

Thanks for the excellent presentation.

What a nice offering from Ruger , 10 rds from a small gun , reliable and better than well known brand that also hold 10 rds and a big fail . I also saw reviews on the Keltec P17 , comes with three 16 rds. magazine , $190.00 msrp and ate most of 22lr you can feed it and so reliable. Can you review the P17 in the future.

Yeah the sights suck. I painted the front sight and it helped. The rear sight needs some paint as well. Dots would be sweet.

After 400 rounds, my trigger broke. Really liked the firearm.

I love my LCP .22. Shoots very well and accurate. I've also got the LCP Max .380 with the good sights that shoots lower than crap. IT needs some adjustable sights bad. Pretty disappointed in the .380. It shoots about four inches low at seven yards and throws about six-inch groups. I've got five .380's and this is the only one I can't seem to shoot well, even with a rest. I painted the front sight on the .22 and get good contrast and can pick it up pretty fast.

i could see the appeal as a last ditch pack gun. this and 30 rounds in a waterproof match case just in case. Wouldn't weigh much and wouldn't take up much pack space.

Very good review. Well-done.

Going to be my next buy for carry! Good review

That was pretty accurate shooting buddy!

I have this same LCP 22…. I just put a a ArmaLaser T12 Laser sight on it….I hope to take it to the range this week…..I actually can hit pretty accurate with it but yeah the sights are an issue….My wife can’t hit anything with it so I’m hoping this little guy with a Laser sight will resolve that problem….👍

9/10. Chassis pronunciation was killing me. But other than that, flawless

Stainless slide with Polymer frame? I's say it was designed to carry. Thumb up for the review.

I fix the problems of the sight putting white paint for metal…and then is crazy perfect

I just picked one up,I wish It didn’t have the mag disconnect safe and the frame safety but I can train for that at least,but other than that I like it!on the frame safety being right by the cocking ears I worry about my thumb putting the safety on but we shall see,thanks good stuff!

This joint is for up close and personal , I do not care about hitting anything 50 yds away!

For a tiny little gun with tiny sights, you shoot it very well.

Someone should make a threaded barrel for these with a little bowers bitty or the pillbox can this be even cooler!

I am surprised Ruger did not make better sights, given that was a major complaint about the original LCP. An interesting gun but seems inferior to the SR-22.

I thought the 22lr LCP II came out and then the "lite rack" version came out later... but does this mean that all 22lr Ruger LCP II's are lite rack?

I didn't figure those little blasters had LRBHO. I had the 380 and it did not.

Looks good!

Good review. Thanks 😎👍

Nice little 22

Interesting that some believe a pocket gun should be designed to group well.

“The LCP II’s are actually known to be quite reliable.” You should tell my .380 LCP II that. I bought it last August 2019 and today had to send it back to Ruger for the 3rd time. One of the most unreliable guns I’ve owned, only thing worse was a Kel-Tec I bought 20 years ago.

Always wondered... why do cannons get wider at the end, even though the bore itself is perfectly cylindrical? Does the end need more strength or something?

Pretty good shooting for such a small gun and useless sights 👍👍👍

Love mine

why dose it eject extra bullets like how u stop that

Neat little pocket gun....thanks, good review God Bless

I'm very satisfied with mine

good review thanks i wish i had the nerve to bore a hole in the sight 😩

Give it an rmr and then you can rack it one handed easily on anything and literally never miss

Sights!?! No need for sights for a conceal carry, self defense gun. Normally it will be at close range and quick fire.

Great video

What ammo were you using please? Did you try any standard vel CCI ? What is the target set at? 7 yds? I read one report that these did not run with CCI Mini Mag 40 copper....I think he had mag issues if you ask me....? Is the point of aim dead on? it look great close range !

Could you recommend the thinest 9mm single stack pistol which would be still reliable?

Biking gun!

Ha! A round fell out as you dissembled the weapon! Oh that was a dummy round.

How is it for left handed people ? very nice video !! Thanks

A well placed pencil has knock down power. True if you aim like a spooked skunk and hope you hit anything then a big gun is for you. If so, I pray for the bystanders.

Put a bit of Red paint on the front site and there is no problem seeing the site no real reason to have anything different from the sights made to shot close up

I have had my LCP II 22lr for about a little over a year, fired about 250-300 CCI mini mags through it and it broke. I couldn't pull the trigger., it was like it never reset. Sent it back to Ruger, got it back in less than ten days. They said the trigger bar was replaced. I fired it yesterday (total rounds since I got it back was about 250 -300) and, IT BROKE AGAIN. 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. It wasn't like this when Bill Ruger was alive.

Looked like lots of kill shots to me. Good shooting.

Is the manual safety something new in the LCP II? Thanks

LMFAO at 8:18!!

Too bad Ruger is in love with manual safeties and magazine disconnects.

Where did he buy extra mags?

Hard to aim as you drill holes in the middle of the target

Bought one for a mouse back up (back up) weapon!! Just in case I get caught in a peaceful protest!! Don't thread on me....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Make an interesting .22 magnum.

Did anyone notice he violated primary safety rule- make sure the gun is unloaded. There was a 22 in the chamber that fell out on disassembly. Yikes!

"channel claiming tool", then sub'd

Shot this at range today pos jammed like crazy, Glock 44, mp 22 much better options

" Well designed gun ", eh ? I got a Ruger LCP Max, probably the best carry 380 in history, as soon as they came out. Then.........a few years later, Ruger came out with this 22. In their adversising splash they say........(PARAPHRASED)........ " Hey, all you Max owners that love to practice, but don't like the price of ammo, or can't shoot all day without some discomfort from recoil. DO WE HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR YOU. Us good guys at Ruger give you a virtual copy. in 22......so you can practice as long as you want and spend way less on amo " BUT.......Ruger's Max WISELY has no external saftey, and the mag release is swappable. SO....claiming the 22 is a " trainer " is LYING OUT THEIR ASS.......because it has neither feature. In fact, it follows Ruger's now corporate policy, as in the Security 380 and other recent semi-autos, of FUCK THE LEFTIES. ( but don't call them to inquire about it, as they are rude, tell you if you don't like it to go elsewhere, and then slam the phone on you) What has happened to Bill's company ?????

Sights. Not ambi at all. I wanted to like this, but.... Great review though. Thank you.

POC - lousy trigger, worthless sights, and requires a loading tool to load the .22 LR clip! What more could be done wrong, Ruger?

.22 is a good defensive round. an AR-15 has a .22 cal bullet and we go to war with it (the machine gun version of it anyway)

🥰💯

Why, why do we always have to listen and watch, gun video makers shoot firearms at the beginning of every single video? Fellas, if you're making a gun video odds are that you can shoot.
