What does the LCP stand for?
Lightweight Compact Pistol
The LCP, which stands for “Lightweight Compact Pistol”, was designed in direct response to customer requests for a compact firearm for use by police as a back-up, and a defensive handgun for civilian concealed carry needs. In 2013, a seven-round extended magazine was released for the LCP.

The LCP is safe to carry with a round in the chamber, provided that the trigger is covered while being carried, if nothing can manipulate the trigger, it shouldn’t go bang. In other words, keep it holstered.

Ruger – LCP® Product Safety Warning and Recall Notice. In 2008, Ruger received a small number of reports from the field indicating that LCP® pistols could discharge when dropped onto a hard surface with a round in the chamber. We are firmly committed to safety and would like to retrofit all older LCP® Pistols.
What is the difference between the Ruger LCP and the Ruger LCP 2?
The LCP II is a touch wider and a touch taller but it’s not likely you’ll notice that difference, in my opinion. In terms of overall size and feel in the hands, there is not too much of a difference between the LCP and LCP II. Both pistols provide just enough to grip – at least for someone with average sized hands.
What kind of ammo does Ruger LCP use?
The LCP II is chambered in . 380 ACP – which most would agree is reasonable for a such a compact firearm. The . 380 ACP self defense ammunition selection is expanding and some decent options are out there.
How far can a Ruger LCP shoot?
At 15 yards, the Ruger shot a best group of 3.8 inches with the HPR 90-grain rounds, proving to me, at least, that this smallish handgun can be fired accurately and controlled when the shooter does his or her part….Gun Trial: At the Range with the Ruger LCP.

Will a Ruger LCP fire without magazines?
NOTE: Magazines designed for the LCP® II pistol will function in an LCP® pistol but will NOT automatically hold the slide open when empty. With the magazine out of the pistol and the firearm pointed in a safe direction, pull the trigger fully to the rear to “dry fire” the pistol.
Is the Ruger LCP 2 single or double action?
Rather than a long, double-action-type trigger, the LCP II uses a single-action trigger with a center safety lever in the pattern of the Glock pistol series — and I like it as well. There is quite a bit of takeup required before the actual pull begins — nearly a half inch.
Does Ruger LCP have hammer block?
Reset and pull weight are improved and a pivoting trigger block (think Glock) were added for safety. From a safety standpoint, the LCP II lacks any type of passive firing pin safety. The pistol’s hammer and sear engagement is very robust when fully cocked, negating the need for an internal firing pin block.
Will lcp2 mags work in LCP?
The pistol will now lock open when empty, making reloads slightly easier. On a related note, the original LCP magazines should fit and function in the LCP II, but will not activate the new internal slide lock feature. Externally, the new LCP II bears a strong resemblance to the original.
Is the Ruger 380 LCP a good gun?
The Ruger LCP II is a fantastic option for people looking for an easily concealed . 380 ACP pistol. It is surprisingly accurate, considering its size, and plenty reliable for self-defense. I’m absolutely confident in this guns ability to put rounds where they need to go in a defensive situation.
