  • Shooting and discussing the new Ruger LCP II. By the way, at 17:35, it appears I actually pulled a dumb move and had my thumb behind the slide close enough that I think the slide hit my thumb. This is likely the reason the next round was not fully chambered. I did not realize this until when I was just watching the video.

    My running/summer gun. Initially I thought “this isn’t enough” and “too small” but after hitting the range with it and shooting out at my buddy’s farm. Wow. This is more than enough to keep you safe in 99% of situations. Fantastic gun.

      ⁠@@terryr.t.2113 That’s cute and all If you’re assuming that a potential attacker is going to be deterred by the mere presence a firearm, which in most cases may be true. But stopping power definitely matters if you’re dealing with someone who’s crazy, on drugs or simply isn’t afraid to die. There’s a reason why no police officer(that i’m aware of) carries anything smaller than a 9mm.
      380 is definitely no joke but “i wouldn’t want to get shot with it” is not an intelligent line of reasoning for choosing a weapon for self defense.
      Most people wouldn’t let you hit them with in the head with a large rock, yet that doesn’t mean that a large rock is a good choice for self defense.

    The number one reason I watch Hickok exclusively when it comes to guns is, he does not pretend to be someone he's not! It makes me so sick to my stomach to see these guys in vids worrying about how their tactical stance looks on camera rather than just being normal and discussing what people want to hear about, the guns! Hickock is the George jones of you tube firearms videos, reminds me of that song who's gonna fill their shoes? Definitely not the guys who put on a big show with all their tacticool gear and how they act like they are in the army. Lol. Hickock is the real deal, just a good ol normal American that don't act like something he isn't.

    Thank you for the honest review. I own one of the original LCP .380 and bought it purely for defensive purposes and size. It fits pocket case (which was separate then) easily. Hollow point, down dirty and up close (3-10') works great.
    Sights are pretty poor now that I know better, LOL. Do like some of the features on the new model II, such as the slide locking back on empty magazine.
    But, for the money and purely for my purposes, its a pretty good small pocket carry, and yes, I carry two extra magazines as well. Still not much in weight and size.
    Like your review. Good, bad or indifferent (LOL) can always count on your honest opinion.

  • @RickLSmith53

    I love all you gun reviews. Plus I also love to watch you shoot! I recently purchased the LCP II 380 due to size, weight, and ease of pocket carry. I did carry a Walther 9mm PPS M2. Since the average conflict normally takes place only a few feet apart, 380 hollow points will make most people want to quit their attack!

    My LCP II had to go back to Ruger for repair twice in 2019, the year in which I purchased it. The first time was to replace the extractor, which ejected while I was shooting at the range. The repair caused 5 new problems: (1) the magazine would drop after every shot; (2) the slide would not hold open after the last shot half the time; (3) when it did hold open, dropping the magazine would cause the slide to fly forward; (4) expended shells would fly over or hit my head instead of flying out to the right; (5) some failures to feed. Again, back to Ruger. Ruger"s superb customer service took care of me, and the LCP II seems to be operating fine now. I also had to send back an EC9s five times for repair and a Security 9 three times. All work OK now.

    I've been carrying the Taurus TCP in my dress pants pocket 5 days a week for years. I just picked up the new LCP II. After a couple hundred rounds an no malfunctions, I'm retiring the TCP to backup duty and switching to the LCP II for the improved sights and trigger. It's so easy to shoot fast and accurately, shoots more like a compact 9 than a pocket pistol.

    I went to my shooting club's quarterly shooting competition and stupidly forgot to pack my pistol that I usually compete with. So I pulled out my LCP and came in second place. It's not a bad shooter. But I admit that this result probably says more about the pistol skills in my shooting club than it does about the LCP.

    "It's a firearm I've always wanted to like; maybe more than I do...". Talley ho on that one. I bought one three weeks ago. I was looking for something that was slightly larger than my Beretta Pico. First range visit was a disaster-enriched learning opportunity. I cleaned and lubricated it before I took it to the range. On the first round the magazine popped out in my hand. So I changed my grip. Second round same issue. I tried shooting it with one hand, no help. The encouraging thing was that each round was very accurate, if that makes sense. I still like the idea of this gun. When I finally get it back from Ruger I'll re-attack the problem. Great video.

I ran a box thru it at the range and it is a nice little shooter. Don't be alarmed when you are getting large groups at anything more than 20 feet. I consider myself a good (not great, just good) marksman and I could not hold a group under six inches over 20-25 feet away. The closer, the better.

Nice little pocket pistol and the trigger is 100x better than my original lcp that I ditched because of the trigger. I actually shoot this better and it's smaller than my g42. While I'm not thrilled about .380 acp, I really like the size and weight of these little pocket rockets
