Ruger LCP II Lite Rack

22LR Ruger LCP II - Minuteman Review Possibly the smallest 10 round 22LR semi-auto pistol available…the LCP II.Excellent deep concealment pocket pistol. Certainly the most adorable with its tiny, tilting barrel. Fun and very easy to shoot fast Many people report great reliability out of the box, it took a Galloway Precision Spring kit to get mine working well. Accidental magazine disengagements are a problem. Stiffer mag release spring helps a bit. The Alabama pocket holster with protection of the mag button is the solution. Problem would be best solved with a P17 like paddle mag release. Magazine safety disconnect is stupid, but is easily removed when installing the Galloway Precision Spring kit or stiffer mag release spring. Neither is an easy task, but if you lack the focus and attention to detail required, maybe CCW is not for you either. The LCP thrives on CCI Mini-Mag. Federal punch, due to slightly longer case, has the occasional issue. Gloves routinely get caught in trigger. Only a problem when you’re trying to change hands or holster. Until KelTec releases an LCP sized, 10 round version of the P17, the Ruger 22LR LCP II is my favorite deep concealment pistol. Viridian e-series laser helps with the short sight radius.

Fixing the 22LR Ruger LCP II Lite Rack: For Light strikes Galloway Spring Kit Heavier Hammer Spring, lighter firing pin return spring To prevent mag disengagements, a Holster with mag button coverage For cycling issues…Galloway Spring kit’s Heavier extractor spring The 22LR Ruger LCP II is the preeminent deep concealment semi-auto pistol with a very high score on our rounds per size and weight spreadsheet. Second only to the KelTec P17 if you exclude the large bodied CP33 and P322. Number one if you insist on pocket carry sized semi-auto pistols. Since the LCP II is so handsome and adorable, AmbGun has decided to call it a “work in progress”.

Accidental mag disengagements turned increasingly common. MCARBO offers a stiffer magazine release spring. Installation of the mag button spring requires removing the FCU. With the LCP’s FCU disassembled, it was a good opportunity to remove the magazine disconnector so the little pistol can fire without a mag inserted (or while a mag is disengaged) However, had I known before purchasing the extra cost and hardship of upgrading the LCP, I would have chosen a 22 caliber LCR or a S&W 43c or a NAA mini revolver. Or waited for a Keltec P10.

To solve the light strikes I contacted Ruger for a new firing pin and to improve cycling I ordered a stiffer recoil spring from MCARBO.

With Summer upon us, I’ve been wanting a smaller, palm sized, pocket carry, 10 round P17. Well KelTec doesn’t make such a thing…yet. So I picked up a Ruger 22 LCP II. 11.2 ounces…1.6 ounces lighter than the P17 and much smaller in width, grip height, and length. Smaller, but not much lighter, the 22 LCP II is a true pocket pistol. It even includes a pocket holster. For non-permissive environments, the diminutive 22 LCP is hard to beat. Definitely top dog pocket pistol for rounds per size and weight.
