Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger LCP Turquoise for sale
Is the Ruger LCP being discontinued?
No. Ruger still produces the original LCP in .380 ACP. The LCP II in .380 ACP was discontinued, while the LCP II Lite Rack in .22 LR continues. The LCP Max also remains in production. The original LCP typically retails around $391 and remains widely available.
Is the Ruger LCP worth buying?
Worth depends on your needs. The LCP excels as a pocket carry gun—lightweight, reliable, and affordable. Downsides include modest .380 ACP stopping power and limited capacity. The LCP Max holds 11 rounds of .380 if you want more rounds without sacrificing concealability.
What are the complaints about the Ruger LCP?
Common complaints include a stiff recoil spring and heavy slide that make racking difficult, particularly for users with limited hand strength. Early models had feeding issues with budget ammunition. The trigger and minimal sights drew criticism. Later variants like the LCP Custom and LCP Max addressed several of these concerns.
Is it safe to carry a Ruger LCP with one in the chamber?
Yes, carrying with a round chambered is safe if you use a quality holster that fully covers the trigger and practice proper gun handling. The LCP's long, heavy double-action trigger won't fire unless deliberately pulled. Most defensive carry experts recommend carrying chambered for faster response.
How much does LCP cost?
Ruger LCP pistols typically cost around $252 new and $160 used, with some retailers listing them under $200. Prices vary by model—the original LCP, LCP Max, LCP Custom, and LCP II Lite Rack are all priced differently. Check multiple retailers for current availability.
What is the difference between LCP and LCP 2?
LCP II holds 7 rounds versus the original LCP's 6. The LCP II has serrated front and rear sights with a ramp-style post, while the original has a plain post. The LCP II is slightly heavier at 10.6 ounces and features an easier-to-rack slide. Both fire .380 ACP.
How many bullets does a Ruger LCP 2 hold?
The Ruger LCP II in .380 ACP holds 6 rounds in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber, for a total of 7 rounds. A .22 LR variant offers 10+1 capacity. The original LCP also holds 6+1. Both standard models fire .380 ACP.
What is the best ammo for the Ruger LCP 2?
The LCP II comes in both .380 ACP and .22 LR. For .380 ACP self-defense, Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot are top choices. For the .22 LR variant, CCI Mini-Mag 40gr is a reliable option. Use standard FMJ for practice in either caliber. Avoid cheap bulk ammo to prevent feeding issues.
