Ruger LCP
In the years since its release in 2008 The Ruger LCP has become one among the top handguns made. It’s a fired by hammer recoil operated.380 caliber pistol and the capacity to hold six rounds. The original model was so successful, in fact the end, even though there were a few complaints from customers about the pistols rudimentary sights and heavy trigger pull it was decided by the manufacturer to update the design.
The result is the LCP II. The LCP II has a like design and style as the original but has some minor improvements. It is notable for the inclusion of a sear engage on the gun’s hammer. This will prevent the hammer from falling out if the initial engagement got ruined by an external shock. It is important to have this function on a gun that is able to be used to perform a variety of tasks.
Other changes include a new trigger that’s made to be more smooth and more user friendly. The new trigger has an improved reset with two clicks, a faster take-up time and a steady break. However, the trigger is still the same powerful first click that can be felt along with a potential for overshooting at first reset. However, the new method is superior to its predecessor.
The new LCP also has a 6-round magazine, making it ideal for concealing carry. The magazine well is modified to make it more distinct and the magazine release is also ridged. This helps make it simpler to carry.
This can be a challenge to shoot for people who are not used to shooting, or who have not had the pleasure of using a smaller handgun. The issue can be resolved through some training. Just remember to always follow basic firearm safety rules, including ensuring the weapon is pointed in a safe direction, and keeping your finger away from the trigger until ready to fire. Also be sure to use the appropriate eye and ear protection also regularly wash and lubricate your weapon.
The LCP II
There’s a wide range of possibilities in the pocket pistol world. There are many options for pocket pistols. S&W Bodyguard is one option. Other options include the Glock 42, 43 Beretta Nano or Kahr’s CCW40. Ruger also offers its own LCP. The one thing that all the options share is that they’re a small, slim handgun that can be tucked into your pocket or waistband for transport until you’re ready to use the gun. LCP II LCP II was introduced in 2016 and is the newest model of Ruger’s popular.380 ACP pocket pistol.
LCP II has a few improvements to the excellent design. In the beginning, the trigger has received a significant overhaul. Ruger repositioned the safety lever to be shorter and easier to reach. Also, the safety lever was cut down to make it easier to reach. Also, it was improved so that it is more precise and a more comfortable feel. A second significant change included the sights, that were designed to make them simpler to grasp and easier to read in dim lighting. Ruger has added shallow serrations on the front and back and serrations that are angled to the rear. These should alleviate certain issues that customers had encountered with the LCP original’s sight.
Another modification is made to the slide, which now has a cut in the back of the slide that can be seen to determine whether or not the hammer inside is cocked. This should make it much easier to operate the slide which is an awesome characteristic on a small pistol.
Ruger changed the design of his magazine and added a different style on the grip. The magazine is now able to hold six rounds, which ought to be enough to cover most situations that require concealed carry. It’s somewhat difficult to load the magazine because there’s just not enough space for the hand to fit inside. But it’s possible. The well could be somewhat difficult to find, so I’ve found that using nail polish or luminescent paint on the side of the magazine work best for me to locate it and load it.
Its Lite Rack version of the LCP II features the same exterior footprint that other center-fire Ruger models. This means that it is able to be fitted into many firearms holsters. A stainless steel 2.75″ barrel comes with the 1:16″ right hand rifling and six-grooves. Additionally, it has caps with a bell shape. The slide is serrated in the front and rear along with a angled the cocking serration.
LCP Custom
Since its launch in 2008, the Ruger LCP has been one among the top compact pistols sold on the market. The Ruger is a perfect choice for anybody who wishes to conceal a gun in smaller dimensions while still being proficient in self-defense and targeting shooting. It is an excellent choice for police officers, who may be required to carry concealment gear when on the move.
Although the LCP has been widely praised for its great gun features, those who have defended it have said that there’s still need for improvements. In fact, several gunsmiths have already started offering modifications for the small pistol. Ruger has come up with the LCP Custom to solve the most frequently-asked issues.
First, the trigger has been upgraded to provide an easier and more efficient pull. The trigger has a smooth surface and a smooth tip that lets you hold it with the one hand. This decreases weight and makes it easier to operate. The trigger has also been refined to decrease friction and smooth the action.
To make the experience more user-friendly, sights have also been improved on the LCP Custom. The initial LCP featured a tiny view with only a hump and the appearance of a bump. The latest sights come with higher and more wide notch that can be adjusted to tilt.
Another significant upgrade is the new recoil guide. The guide is made of polished stainless steel that can reduce friction whenever you use the LCP. Ruger has also enhanced the trigger system by adding a second click during the reset. It helps to ensure the trigger is fully reset, and won’t work once more until it’s.
The magazine contains six rounds. the magazine, which may not seem like a lot, however this should suffice for most concealed-carry situations. It’s difficult to load the LCP as it requires certain techniques to insert the rounds into the magazine. During testing, I found RugerForSale that the LCP Custom was able to perform well when using each of three different loads including Sig Sauer Elite Performance V Crown 90-grain as well as Federal Premium 99-grain High Speed JHP.
Max LCP
The LCP is an extremely popular pocket pistol thanks to its slim size. Ruger did not stop at the LCP, nor did they stop at the sequel. They kept improving its design, and launched new models, including the LCP II, and the LCP Max this year. It’s not much larger than the LCP which is why it’s got numerous improvements which will make it an ideal option to the Ruger line.
The magazine that has brought about the largest difference. Instead of having six rounds, it can hold 10. It’s impressive when you consider how small this weapon. In fact, the LCP Max has an even more powerful mag capacity than smaller 9mm’s while being a bit slimmer and lighter. The increase in capacity helps to carry an adequate quantity of ammunition for reasons of self-defense and is certain be an attractive selling point.
The new trigger is a big enhancement. The trigger of the LCP Max has a safety blade, which has to be depressed in order for the sear to be engaged and cock the hammer. This is an effective method to ensure that discharges are not accidental and functions similar to a manually-engaged DA revolver’s striker. This means that it will have a shorter trigger than the LCP II, or custom variant.
The sights on the LCP Max are dovetailed into the slide. They feature tritium front sights with a thin white ring for the best visibility even in dim light. It is complemented by back sight in black that features horizontal striations as well as a U-shaped cutout that provides adequate contrast for easy target acquisition. The grips of LCP Max are textured. LCP Max are textured with what Ruger describes as Goldilocks Texturing. That’s just enough to shoot well but not enough that it causes chafing on the pocket or IWB. Lastly, the frame has a lever on the left hand side that is pulled to keep the slide back when reloading it is an excellent feature for people who don’t have a strong thumb. It’s clear that the LCP Max will be the most sought-after addition to policemen’s arsenals with a particular focus on those in the need for a safe and compact firearm for pocket use.
