Ruger LCP-2 .22 LR accuracy, velocity, and function.

- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2022
- 100 rounds of Aguila .22 LR fired through the Ruger LCP2 .22 LR with only 4 fails to feed (FTF). Failing to cycle in a semi auto .22 is a common failure which this handgun performed quite well with. Clean and oil after every time shooting to avoid fails to cycle with e .22 Hanc in motu navitas

Just picked one of these up with red crimson trace for $299. By the time I paid shipping, $30 FFL handling fee and background check fees it was $370 out the door. Just the laser is $240 new so I couldn’t pass it up. First thing I did was check the loading ramp and it had a bur which is common on this model and causes feeding issues. I removed the bur, polished the loading ramp, dissembled, cleaned and oiled everything. Works like a dream. Eats everything I feed it and is easy to shoot. I got a couple extra mags and it’s a great little 22lr range toy or pocket pistol. I’m going to get the LCP Max 380 as a concealed carry gun with a 10 round mag. This little 22 made me a fan of the LCP platform. Seems like the best option available for comfortable pocket carry.
Wow, that’s really good insight! A burr on the casting would definitely cause some FTF.
Your comments early on in the video are spot on.
The increased recoil spring from Mcarbo helps tremendously with failures to feed.. may want the stainless guide rod while you are at it.. good video
Oh ya?? Thanks for the insight! I will upgrade the spring as I did for my 10mm👍🏼👍🏼
Oh ya, and what pound spring did you get for it?
yes!!
I have two of these and can say through direct experience that she was absolutely correct on the Aquila ammo. I rarely get fails when I run it. One of mine has all aftermarket parts to improve it's accuracy and dependency. Same result with both guns.
Good to know👍🏽
Just bought one of these and I'm itching to get to the range. Like others have said, MCARBO makes some internal goodies that make it function like it's supposed to. I also liked what you had to say prior to the shooting. Carry on, Sir.
I appreciate that, as some like to add that I ramble too much at times, but that’s because I am trying to educate new gun owners on firearms and stats etc. 👍🏽
I like your vid great no BS just facts and straight forward commentary keep up the great job
Much appreciated
I like your educational segment - terrific perspective …
Thanks man…. No pun intended🤦🏽♂️👍🏼it’s true, also. If you watched that link in the description, it’s all about how you act and personal accountability 👍🏼
This is the first video I have seen from you, I really like your no bullshit attitude. You tell it how it is and seem like a normal American, not out to prove anything and not a tacticool guntoober. I subscribed, this is good content.
Thanks I appreciate that. I actually make fun of the “tacticool” guntoober in my “what gun should I buy for self defense” vidoe😂👍🏽
Great video. I have a Walther ppks 22lr (my favorite gun), and for the first two years that I had it, I’ve tried every brand of ammo that I could get my hands on. Every brand failed, including CCI. Failures to eject, failures to feed, stovepipes, etc. I even tried changing magazine springs and recoil spring. Nothing worked. About a year ago I ran across Remington thunderbolts, and haven’t had a failure since. Thunderbolts are cheap, dirty, but they work.
I especially liked your presentation on gun ownership. I agree with every word spoken. Again, great video.
Thanks for the tip on the thunderbolts, I will try those also👍🏼
Yes, thunderbolt is great for feeding, golden bullets the same, but more power consistency. As long as it's not the bulk pack, never know what you're gonna get.
Nothing but problems with mine until I started using Remington Golden Bullets, they run great in my .22 handguns with rarely a hiccup…
Taking note of this ammo and will use also. Thanks for the tip😎👍🏽
Yurp!! Pure comedy. Fun to watch. Thank you.
Great video sir! Love my LCP II! 👍
Much appreciated!
Great review of the LCP2 .22. I have the LCP2 in .380 and it’s a great little gun. I had the ejector blow off in the first hundred rounds so Ruger replaced the slide with the “new and improved” slide. I obviously had the older model where the retaining pin that holds the firing pin and ejector just blew out for no apparent reason. Meaning, I’m not the only one this happened to and Ruger fixed it. It’s been great ever since. But something to look for if you are going to buy the LCP2 in. 380. (Same may be true for the .22) One of those things I didn’t know but now need to share. If you’re looking at the LCP2 in .380 anyway, look at where the firing pin and ejector retaining pin (same pin does both), are located on the slide. If it’s located on the right side (muzzle forward), and goes in at a 45 degree angle into the slide, that’s the old one. Don’t buy it. If you see that pin now coming down from the very top of the slide, that’s the new one. That’s the one Ruger sent me and it’s just a great little gun now. Just something I learned the hard way that you guys shouldn’t have to now. No catastrophic failure in my case, the pin flew out, the ejector went flying and the slide locked open. Nobody died. But something to look for when purchasing the LCP2 in .380. I bought the older one and it failed. The new one is just perfect. Ruger service is the best out there. Have fun and stay safe.
Great video. I have the Ruger LCR .22 lr . Revolver. I don't have to worry of firing problems because it a revolver, maybe 1 out of 500 rounds from a bulk pack won't fire because of light primer strike on rim . But other than that, it's great. I want to get the 9 mm in LCR model.
Thanks for the review.... I have the same pistol, Im very happy with it!
Ah, good to hear. My daughter has kinda taken to it too👍🏽 it’s pretty fun and cheap
I have the Ruger LCP II 22 for couple years now. I love it. a lot of inexpensive fun with it and my 10/22 at the range. After the normal practice with my 9mm. Aguila and CCI run about the same, great, actually Aguila a tiny bit better. very few F T F. It also enjoys Herter's. Don't care for Remington and it wouldn't shoot Winchester. had over 20 F T F minimum in every 100-rd. box I tried. the only CCI that doesn't run to good are the stingers, and this has only been my experience. Glad I came across your video, I enjoyed it and subscribed. 😎
Thanks for this brand insight, TonyBoomBots! And I will make more vids of this gun when I get my ballistic gel😂👍🏽
that pistol is my EDC. over 1500 rnds, i have had 1 fte, 2 ftf, reloaded the ftf fired, great little pistol. i use the Federal Punch ammo now, have shot everything, Remington, CCI, don't care for Winchester or Norma, Magtech is good cleaned it once so far. i love mine!!! cool video with that cronograph
Great to hear about the feeding reliably of yours. And yes, people love to see actual velocities with the chronograph 👍🏼😂including me
I own one it's one of my favorite plinkers I take it every time I go to the range
I agree with you sir
Murder is already illegal
Good men dont need laws
And criminals dont obey laws
Mine was a crapshow when i got it. But put in a new set of springs and then shot the hell out of it and now its a darn good little gun.
Mine is a crapshow too. Replaced the springs and trigger. Same issue. Tried different ammo. Next step is to polish the feeding ramp.
@@malachi9898send it back to Ruger bro
LCPII here. Ammunition makes a huge difference. Last time at the range ran Remington Golden Bullet in .22LR. Grain Weight: 36 · Muzzle Velocity: 1280. Ran over 100 rounds without misfire, light strike or failure to feed. This LCPII does not like hollow points. Rounded lead feeds problem free. This LCPII has the trigger upgrade and the eject spring and recoil spring upgrade. Not sure it makes much of a different. The trigger is red so it's more pretty!
You logic is spot on. Based on what I have heard in this video I have to sub your channel. Pretty good shooting..............I would say the man on the target is dead.
Much appreciated 👍🏽
You’re not going to defensive snipe across a food court but up close it’ll work.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I need a dude named Eli for that
Good stuff, thank you. I recently purchased one of these and am having the same problem you had at the 17:47 mark. My first thought was a failure to feed as well, but what the real issue is the slide is prematurely locking back with rounds still in the mag. A fail to feed would mean the slide came forward and did not pick up a round. I am not trying to sound pickyuni, but they are two separate problems. I asked Ruger about this and the lady said it might be the magazine. I have 2 more coming to test out. It may be a mag issue. Did you ever solve the problem? Stay safe out there.
The reliability spring kit from galloway precision all but eliminated the fail to feed, fail to eject, and light primer strikes i was getting from mine.
Thanks, I’m totally getting that kit👍🏼
I have had failures with a few brands, but right now I am at 320 rounds and counting of Remington Thurderbolt bulk pack without a SINGLE failure. This is the ammo I use when I carry.
Bitchen, I’ll buy those next.
i like thunderbolt for plinking but is it a good carry round? i thought it was bulk range ammo
@@stufoo Well you want as much reliability and penetration with a .22 as you can get, since both can be marginal in .22lr. I have not seen Thunderbolts penetration tested but I imagine the 40 gr solids do ok. And the fact I've never had one fail yet gives it the win as far as I'm concerned.
@@stanpotter7764 good point. I may need to look into this more. I want to pick up the Lcp in 22 for a pocket gun and I have never had any issues with the thunderbolts either and I’ve shot 1000 or so rounds
Remington Thunderbolt is the only ammo I can get to feed reliably in mine too! I've run expensive high velocity ammo through it, Velocitor, Stinger, etc. but Thunderbolt is the only one to be consistently reliable. I'm now wishing I'd kept data on this, but I bet I've run at least 10 kinds of ammo through it and Thunderbolt is the only one it likes. It's weird.
LCP 22 👍
Took this LCPII 22lr to the range and had no failures with 22LR federal punch, but when I tried the Winchester super x, every other round FTF.
Hmmm… so, so far, it looks like Aguila and CCI velocitor are the good ones
Mine was having misdeed problems until I polished the feed ramp. Then I shot 150 rounds of golden bullet, 25 mini mag hp, 25 cci standard velocity and not one hiccup. I was probably having 2-3 misfeeds per magazine, even on cci minimag.
Good to know thanks for tip👍🏼
Yep. I have the LCP2 .380 and bought some Winchester white box ammo for it. I didn’t know until I got it home that this ammo has a squared off tip, so I filled the mag with it and cycled the slide and sure enough, it fed like crap. I polished the feed ramp to a mirror shine and it fed really smooth. (I polish all my feed ramps because it just makes sense)
At the range, the ammo fed and ejected just fine but I still don’t like the squared off tips so I wanted to use up all that stuff and make sure to get rounded ammo in the future. But a hundred rounds in, the ejector blew off. (Not the ammo’s fault) I didn’t know right away what happened other than my slide locked back on the second round and the spent round was still in the chamber. Great. Now what? I released the mag and shook the empty casing out of the chamber. Then I noticed the ejector was missing. Game over. I saw it laying of the floor in front of my bench. What happened is, the firing pin retainer pin, which also holds the ejector in, popped out. I sent it back to Ruger and they sent it back with a whole new slide and barrel, the improved version. The new one has the retaining pin on the top as opposed to the side. They sent along a paper that explained this is the improved slide. (Which means this was a common problem with the old slide) Of course the new barrel came with the same machine marks and sharp edges on the feed ramp so I polished it. Haven’t had a problem since. Great little gun.
One more quick thing. I also have the Ruger Max-9 pro and it’s a sweetheart. Especially with the Holosun 407k x2 red dot on it.
No issues at all and I’ve put almost a thousand rounds through it. Love this pistol. I’m using the same Winchester white box range ammo but in 9mm it’s a rounded tip. I don’t know why they square off the same ammo in .380? Makes no sense. It’s .380 AUTO, meaning it needs to feed. Who the hell thought squaring off the end would help in feeding? It can’t, and it doesn’t. So just for that reason, I don’t buy Winchester white box in .380. In 9mm. It’s rounded and fine. But I go with Blazer brass just because Winchester pissed me off and it’s the same price.
For the range, we usually buy the cheapest target ammo. And of course we shoot a bunch of defense ammo, which is way more expensive, just to make sure it’s reliable. I used Normady Critical Defense in .380 and Sig Sauer Elite defense in 9mm. Both feed just fine and do what they are supposed to do. Feed and shoot.
Have fun on the range, everyone. Peace and aloha to you all.
Lot of tallking.
Don’t tread on Kinetic Energy 1085
No more ranting
For self defense, that’s 4 too many. Thanks for the video.
Agreed. I never have any FTE or FTF with my .40 and 10mm
Put your left thumb down, pointed at the target, and rest your right thumb on top of the back of your left.
I'd try regular standard velocity 40 grain rounds. I've got a 380 LCP with a lazer sight and I have it in my pocket everywhere I go. Semper Paratus
I’m going again soon and will try the 40 grain standard to see if it’s the weight, not the advertised velocity that eliminates the FTE and FTF👍🏽 damn right always be ready 👍🏽
As I understood from Americans....22 caliber guns are toys.
For the most part, yes🤣😎👍🏽
Demographic!
(I think those Caldwell sunshades need to be wider or join front and rear. For those who aren't RUclips experts, a semi auto generally calls for 1240 FPS ammunition, not 1,600 FPS)
Everyone talking about carrying, How's that gonna work when you have to drop the mag in order to clear a dud? I called Ruger about this they said that's the only way to clear,
With any .22 LR, there is a greater possibility of a FTF or FTE, as it’s a rim fire. Most knowledgeable gun owners know that a .22 LR or even magnum is not the best choice for personal protection for that reason, but, it’s still a gun with a bullet at a cheap price….. my recommendations are .40 cal and 10mm for speed, energy, incapacitation and penetration. .22 is just for fun or a back up gun
@@kineticenergy1085 Agree, but ive carried my sr22 many times. And feel very comfortable with doing so, it will eject a dud or miss fire. The lcp will not.
The spring kit from galloway precision fixed that problem on mine as well. Mine pulls rounds out of the chamber spent or not, magazine in or not. It clears same as every other pistol now
@frederickjeremy do you thing that trigger spring is necessary? I'm thinking of replacing just firing spring and extractor spring from galloway precision. Don't think that trigger hammer spring will improve performance
Not law abiding. Constitution abiding
Ah, yes. I agree and like this much better. Lots of “laws” are not constitutional 👍🏽
That's b*tchn when to rural King today too get mine but as usual you can't get service. Greenwood in.
Thanks for the vid. Bit chatty to start it off bro.
I know. A lot of new to gun ownership people come here and I want to share events and opposing political views to better shed light on certain topics👍🏽
Fifteen feet from a steel target seems close.
That would be around the furthest distance in a typical self defense situation.
@@kineticenergy1085 I was thinking ricochet danger. I usually give myself ten yards even with a .22. Maybe I am over cautious. Thanks for the video.
Cut the drama music / volume!!
Those are 2 songs from 2 of Clint Eastwoods most famous movies, how dare thee?😵💫🤣blasphemer
Good lord this guy talks more than my ex wife. Start watching at 10:19 if you want to skip the coffee shop banter.
This guy is very naive
I have a gun, 9 mm Taurus GC2 and am a fairly good shot. And I also support gun control, which is no the same as getting rid of guns. Stronger gun control equals fewer gun deaths as can be easily deduced when comparing the states with the highest firearm murder rates and their respective gun laws
Stronger gun control hasn’t stopped anything 😂 the cities with the toughest gun laws/restrictions etc have severely high violent crime by gun💁🏽♂️ what the lovely US govt doesn’t talk about is that criminals commit crimes not good people. The lawful concealed carry project manager with a house, kids and married isn’t going to get mad and use her/his (can I say that now a days?) gun and start violently victimizing people with it.
Wrong
I’m sorry .. I thought this was a gun review not a political rant..
Sometimes I bring real world and educational insight to my videos, as some people are new gun owners and only form opinions based on what the mainstream media feeds them. I think it’s good for people to see (my attached video) what happens during a police encounter when you DONT get combative, and also inform people of gun related incidents and stats. I know some videos seem dragged out by “bla-bla-bla” stuff, but I also add informative stuff too.
@@kineticenergy1085I actually enjoyed the video! Keep them coming! 🤜

Well I'm half way thru a Ruger video & u have yet to discuss anything but politics!
At exactly 1/2 way is when the testing starts. Sometimes, I like to add gun and political knowledge for “new gun owners” who may visit the channel, so they can hear reality from a non-politically left leaning mentally Ill liberal. But I also get bored and annoyed watching videos with a lot a talk, so, I get it👍🏼
I tried Aguila 22lr 38grain 1280 ftps.- I think) in my Taurus TX-22 it wouldn't feed right, CCI mini mag 40gr.1235 round nose fed better. The higher velocity 22lr. Carry approx 95 to 105 foot pounds of energy, I've seen many tests of the leathality of the 22lr. from close range to over 100 yards , they all show a very leathal ability , however the immediate stopping power is not as effective as the bigger ammo. Maybe the fact that alot of people use 22lr. as a self defense rd. speaks to the fact that hospitals report more shooting and deaths by 22lr than other larger ammo's , interesting fact .
I have 5 magazines for my Taurus tx 22 competition. I was getting multiple feeding issues and some stove pipes. After cleaning and dry lubing mags. Dremel Flitz polish feed ramp and slide contacts on top of frame. Problems solved. A favorite accurate target gun now
Well, at least Aguila has the best priming in 22lr ammo that's less than a quarter a round. The newer batches of super extra and supermaximum feed & extract a bit better lately.
