Ruger LCP 22lr

[Johwar]

110 today…3 fail to fire rounds…Armsco hollow point

I haven’t tried hollow points in mine yet. I’m going to stick to the brands I already mentioned. In the near future I may get some cheaper stuff and see how it does. The gun did fine on federal bulk. The first lcp 22 I had was a complete lemon. I got that one pretty soon after the gun came out.

HP in it won't expand so might as well stay with RN bullets. Or get the new Segmented CCI ammo. They will split into 3 parts. Are deadly on opossum, coon, and I've killed a coyote with then also.

Nice!! Haven’t even thought about those. Once one gets past all the internet chest pounding and actually look at ballistic testing, they will see the little 22 is a nasty little round.

friend of mine has one. It had 1 in 20 or so failures with cheaper ammo. Remington bucket stuff.
I let him have some of my CCI stuff and zero issues.

The 40gr RN will give the deepest penetration. Those segmented HP will only penetration around 4-6" so self-defense against a bad guy it isn't enough penetration, but I would think they would hurt like crazy the way they spread out. It might be a deterrent if hit with one or more at best. I'd probably stick with 40gr high velocity or faster for penetration.

Agreed. I carry either Blazer or CCI Mini Mag RN

CCI and Eley has been the most reliable ammo I've shot 22lr wise.

Picked one up few months back. Cleaned it and brightit to the range and had problems; allot of ftf. I had 2 different brands of ammo, both sucked. I took the gun and pushed it aside. Few weeks ago I decided to give it another try. Cleaned it up and went to the range with about 4 different brands of ammo. Federal Standard, CCI mini-max, Remington golden and Winchester white box.

NOT ONE GLITCH! Shot after shot no problems. I mixed the ammo up and still mo problems. Since I have tried them again and this time added velocitors without a glitch. I picked up some Stingers (now called Stangers) and use them as a back up ankle carry.

Ran 150 rounds of mixed brand ammo thru my new LCP II 22LR.
Not a single glitch !!
Feeds and shoots just fine,
A fun gun to shoot,

Good for ya. Love the little guy but will never trust it to for when I need it to defend.

Dang man, hate to hear that. Have you sent it back to Ruger to have it looked at? Mine runs like a Glock.

Been sent back twice.

 

[DadSmith]

Been sent back twice.

Have you been able to get 500rds through it yet?

Wow. That is crazy I'd definitely send it back ask them to get it right. Definitely a lemon.

 

[tbhausen]

OK, all this variability is scaring me… I’m taking mine to the range ASAP.

 

[thinsilverline]

Mine had been flawless, even rides to the grocery store!

 

[gryphnrider]

Mine is amazing only a couple feed fails but I polished the feed ramp and it runs great now. Never had an Issues with bulk ammo. Bought it a month ago and probably 250 through it. I see ruger is selling a threaded barrel for it now.
