a lot of these small .22LR pistols are sensitive to using certain ammo.
I bought one for my wife. CCI minimags and velocitors run flawlessly in this gun.
Blazer/CCI : 👍
I share your sentiment. A family members firearm runs with quality ammo...
Heavier hammer spring, weaker firing pin spring, and stiffer coil spring straightened mine right out. Polished feed ramp and chamber just for good measure, even eats Winchester white box now.
**using a 22LR for self-defense is stupid and reckless.
**And one man said that more people were killed with a 22 LR than any other weapon, he was wrong more people are assassinated with a 22 LR.
**But if you think of 22 LR is going to stop some meth head or psycho unless you dump like a dozen rounds in them.
**Average hit ratio of good trained police officers are about 50% which means 50% of your ammo has a chance of hitting some innocent bystander which is not psycho and which is not meth head, or adrenaline charged or some other mitigating factor, and it does have a chance of killing them.
**Name me one police organization that issues a 22 LR pistol for self-defense. In spite of the cost savings that that would be, and bureaucrats are all about cost saving.
**Name me one military unit that uses it when it's gun fight time, (yes they may use the silent suppress 22 LR for a sentry removal) but when it's gunfight time it's back to the serious weapons.
@@kirkchartier7141 These guns are made for deep concealment, easy to rack, and no recoil. My mother in her early 60s can no longer rack even a 380 very well, so she carries this and practices with it often and it's fun for her. After I worked out all the kinks it's been reliable, you wouldn't want to mess with her inside 30 yards.
My wife has a TX 22 and that gun is. Awesome.
Does it reliably shoot any ammo?
@@rang123yea5 yes, it is arguably the most reliable semi auto
It shoots anything except it wouldn't shoot federal champions that I bought that were factory seconds but those federal won't run in my marlin 60 either only good for my revolver and single shots so yeah it eats any thing that's not defective to begin with. But it absolutely loves CCI velociters
I have the same experience with a TX 22
@@russellhorner4950 I heard it also didn't like Remington's "Bucket O Bullet's" but that is low quality ammo also.
The "locked" part of "cocked and locked" MEANS... the manual safety is turned on. If the gun has no manual safety, it cannot be carried, "cocked and locked"!
My glock says your full of 💩
Without a manual safety it will be cocked and bang.
trigger covered holster ...
@@rodneymoore7270 The type of holster has nothing to do with it.
@@rodneymoore7270 Yeah he isn't saying it is unsafe or whatever. He is just saying literally without a manual safety (especially a thumb safety that fits into a notch on the slide and literally "locks" the gun) you can't carry cocked and locked. You are just carrying cocked.
99% sure you are using the wrong ammo. If you think it is a problem with the gun, call Ruger. They have excellent customer support.
It looks like a bare lead projectile or Winchester M22, which has a black copper plating. It may make a difference if you try high-quality copper washed or plated rounds if you're shooting lead. Then again, it may not! Every gun has it's likes and dislikes.
If it's M22, get something else. M22 is infamous for it's unreliability.
I have followed your gun and bible content for many years. I just now noticed that you pin the trigger after every shot. Not a big deal if you only shoot targets. It's a bad habit to have if you carry other guns defensively.
I thank God for your improving health. Keep it up.
@@brianshuler6951worst customer support I ever have had from a firearms company was Ruger. The SP101 I bought had so many issues (non of which Ruger agreed to fix), it took me almost $300 to fix on my own; had to replace the entire trigger spring assembly (I was warped, BENT inside the housing….). Could go on, but it is still the worst quality control on any firearm I’ve ever had. Sent it back to them, they shipped it back and said they could not find the issues I had. It was my third Ruger revolver and have not bought another since.
@@brianshuler6951what I never understood is why the 22 lr bullets have the ridges on the bullet. Those ridges hang up on the chamber on feed ramp. 22 mags have a smooth bullet.
@roscoeshepard In my experience, the vast majority of failures to feed in .22 rimfire pistols are bad magazines, dirty guns, and weak grip/limp wristing. The bullet design has been refined over the years, but it is much the same as since I first started shooting, decades ago. I'm pretty sure if the bullet design was an issue, every .22 ammo maker in the world would correct the problem.
yawn
I've been through enough rimfire pistols that I'll never trust my life to it.
Only rimfire id trust is a revolver(22mag) for cc
Ya! Me too.
Robert
@@robertscotti7970 should have specified semi-auto.
100% top comment you may save someone who thinks this is going to work in a gunfight. Nah
Unless it's a volquartsen or ruger mark series
Your eject pattern shows bad ammo. Good on some, others barely ejecting. Watch your eject pattern on this video. Try agula or cci.
Go with cci... I've been having problems with aguila 22lr primers not igniting in all my 22lr revolvers. After a lot of research I'm switching to cci🤔
My first thought is try changing ammo? I have a Phoenix arms .22 that can tell cci from anything else.
I have one of those little 22lrs as well, and I have noticed that it occasionally has light strikes regardless of ammo. It's a neat little, strange gun, and it's amusing, but I would never carry it for self defense.
I had 1 many years ago with both barrels .
It started getting quirky so i sent it back.
The repaced the whole original barrel.
It worked reliably again but because of the bad experiances prior i never carried it.
Was only a range /plinker .
I eventually traded it in.
No trust in it in my mind.
It had to go
I agree totally!
The HP-22 is a great inexpensive pistol. However, there's a reason that Phoenix recommends shooting standard velocity over any high velocity .22 ammo-John in Texas
I have one of those that shoots almost everything. I have the Walther that for some reason prefers Winchester. My ISSC and Sig both prefer CCI, and are OK with Federal. Remington is a no-go in all.
Ruger has a lifetime warranty. They will make it right.
With some of the other Rugers I have had they got better as they broke in.
No, Ruger does not have a lifetime warranty. Per Ruger : Unfortunately, the law in this area is complicated and varies widely. Rather than provide a written "lifetime warranty" followed by a lengthy disclaimer (which is what many manufacturers do), Ruger has elected not to provide a written warranty.
Regardless, we sincerely value our customers and work hard to treat them fairly. If you have a problem with your Ruger® firearm, reach out to our excellent customer service representatives and I believe you will be very pleased with the result. If not, let me know.
There is none better than the older Ruger Firearms. the newer stuff not so much. pretty much the same as all U.S. makers now. The quality has just gone out the window.
To bad Ruger is famous for that warranty... 🙄
I bought 4 of those at the same time for my defense classes and all of them have run flawlessly since the day I bought them, Ruger makes superior Firearms ❤
Minimum caliber on ccw permit in my area is .380 auto.. 🤪
Remember why Browning invented the .25 ACP.
Seriously why are there not more guns in 25? It’s center fired so the reliability is going to be better I have heard they can be a bit under powered and won’t wrack the slide properly but it’s gotta be better then a rim fire and they are some pretty small guns. That always made me wonder it’s gotta be more reliable then 22 it’s gotta have slightly better ballistics?
Colt developed the .25 ACP it's in the name Automatic Colt Pistol
@@Joe-ie8vk ...the problem HE was having HERE....was in no way related to the primer efficiency of 22LR. Something is wrong with his gun or mag, not the caliber/or being rimfire. I have quite a few 22LR handguns I would trust with my life with as to reliability......
@@snotshovelinfection305He might have been referring to John Moses Browning.
I bought a new 8:01 H&R nine shot revolver in 22lr decades ago at an auction for $50. Best deal I ever made. Speed loaders were made for it and I bought several. I have the Beretta 25ACP that my father bought in Italy in the early 50's when he was in the USN. I have bought extra magazines for it. Keep Prepping my friends.
22lr is not dependable enough to be a gun I'd be putting my life on. I know when it's working it'll put a thing down. But that's the problem. It's gotta run. And it's not even through the break in time 🤷🏼♂️
It's also not enough gun. It's better than a rock, but 22lr is NOT a wise defensive choice.
@@xxxlonewolf49 yup. I carry my little 380 frequently. But never in my life would I be caught with a 22 lr in my holster. It's not happening. 🤷🏼♂️ IDC if it's mini mouse gun sized lol
@mybuickskill6979 I did carry one 22, when jogging, when i had nothing else...till I got a pocket 9.
380 isn't enough of a round, costs too much vs 9, the pistols are effectively the same size & weight, and 9 Is just better effects on target.
@@xxxlonewolf49 I wear my 380 bicycling. It's tiny, single stack. More aero, and it pokes holes. 🤷🏼♂️🤣🤣 And as of yet. Not a single issue with reliability. That's really all I need. I mostly worry about two legged varmints, as the four legged ones are slower than my bike 🤷🏼♂️🤣🤣
@@mybuickskill6979 It's better than a 22lr or a rock, but a 9mm is objectively a better round & system
I can't speak to the LCPII, but I own an SR9c, an LC9s, a MAX-9 and an AR-556. Never had a problem with any of them. They eat any kind of ammo I feed through them with no problem.
I have a Jimenez Arms JA22. When it was new it would barley shoot. But after approx. 500 rounds and polishing the feed ramp it won't stop working now. I think break-in for 22LR pistols is a real thing. With real variations per round the gun has to be as smooth and easy ti cycle as possible. Break-in smooths it out.
I have one of those, and consider it a paper weight. Mistake that I can't sell because I'd feel like a scammer.
22 lr is great in riffles no way would i rely on a 22 pistol
A revolver in a pinch but I've never had a semi auto that didn't need certain ammo
@@johnwalters1055 try a p17 it will be your new favorite, guaranteed. you wont want to carry anything else.
Its short stroking due to the fact it's new and tight, and your using standard ammo. Break it in with performance (hot) ammo. After 2 or 300 rds it will shoot anything. Did you clean it and oil it before you fired it?
Sorry but if you expect reliability out of 22LR, you are looking at the wrong caliber. Every .22LR firearm I own I have to track what ammo runs through that specific firearm.
Yup
Bill Ruger would have never let that happen.
I've known 22 type firearms that were fussy about ammo brands., It's only fair to test various brands of ammo.
Yeah, But Those Days Are Over! My old 185 Series Mini 14 has Never failed in any way. Most of the newer Mini's that are said to be better are always on there way back to Ruger for some kind of repair. A good gun is the one that works!
Bill Ruger was a massive Fudd. Ruger innovation was completely stifled until Bill passed. Subsequently, Ruget has been much more innovative and completely changed the concealed carry market with the LCP and the LCR. You can argue that the LCP was a copy of the Keltec but Ruger made the darm things correctly and dependable and at only 10.5 ounces that was something. The LCR completely re-imagined the J-frame and the trigger is so light and smooth it's like a Custom Shop S&W trigger. Bill was NOT a friend of the 2A. Let's not forget all his shortcommings and only remember the good, like the single action Rugers and the old Security Six, etc... Bill was a mixed bag at best.
Gun industry inovation in the 21st centurty = another variation of a glock.
I agree with most folks change ammo. I run cci to start with until the gun breaks in. It's a little hotter I think. Then go to bargain stuff after a few hundred rounds.
Maybe it comes down to ammo differences or luck in manufacturing, but I've had nothing but fun and good experiences with my friend's same model.
Cci velocitors
Never trust your life to a rimfire. EVER. They run dirty and aren't reliable enough.
Good point. However, revolver will run every time.
There is one brand of rimfire that I have never had failure to fire in thousands of rounds. CCI is one of the best! Stingers, Mini Mag and Velociters have been totally reliable.
I won’t say you’re wrong because I’d most likely never carry a 22 also but have you ever heard the saying, a 22 in your pocket is better than a 45 on your nightstand. 😉
@onionhead5780 Yep. But with the very low cost of modern carry pistols, there's no reason to use a rimfire unless it's a training version of your primary for low-cost practice. The cost difference between the .380 and .22 LR versions of the Ruger LCP is about 20 bucks. I know recoil is an issue for some folks with arthritis, but reliability with today's .22 with quality control oversight being cut is likely to just get get you killed.
If a gun won’t cycle reliably on CCI Std Velocity, I wouldn’t carry it at all for defense. That’s not to say higher velocity loads don’t add reliability. But the true test is reliable cycling on 22LR Std velocity loads.
Let me change your mind....
My worst .22lr pistol is a Walther P22. I bought one for me and one for my daughter many years ago.
My daughter's pistol had just about every possible malfunction you could think of and some that are pretty rare:
Failure to feed.
Failure to extract.
The magazine dropping out upon firing the gun (yes, it was fully seated).
Upon firing the safety would move out of the fire position.
It was sent back for repair three times.
S&W changed some parts out the first time and blamed the ammunition suggesting that we use CCI ammo.
The second time they change some more parts out (by the third time about the only parts the hadn't change out was the frame , slide, and barrel.
The third time I sent the gun in along with a spread sheet where I had fired about 8 different brands of ammunition.
I labeled the rows on the spread sheet 1-50 and indicated the malfunction on each row.
Every brand of ammunition resulted in multiple malfunctions per 50 rounds fired.
I'm with you on the manual safety. I will not buy a gun with out one.
I have a Ruger LCP Max. I thought it would be a perfect pocket gun and it does carry well. But it is one of the most unreliable guns I have ever owned.
I had the same experience but sent it back to Ruger and they replaced the extractor and barrel on mine and ran 30 through it without issue. I will be trying this again because with 10 rounds it would be the perfect pocket pistol if it works reliably.
@PorfirioCastro I have been wondering if I need to do the same. Because regardless of cleaning and changing ammunition brands, it still hangs up.
Had mine a year or so with no malfunctions , i only run high end hollow points , havent tried fmj . ive run about 300 rounds so far , ruger will repair or replace if its defective .
Mines flawlessly reliable. The problem for me is quickly squeezing my finger inside the trigger guard.
Ditto here. Switched to Kimber micro series and zero malfunctions after 5K+ rounds thru it. Check them out SF🇺🇸
That 2nd failure to feed was ammo related. Very apparent. Weak powder load.
Possible ammo related? I know in general 22LR guns are ammo finicky. I’ve a Ruger 10/22 it only likes certain ammo. Try CCI mini-mag or Stinger. Also, could be magazine related?
mine did the same thing. slide release lever spring fixed it up. my slide release was very lite actually wobbly when at rest new spring and now theres tension on it at all times and no more premature hold open.
bougt my first hand gun at a gun show in 1985 for $40.00 and it's a ruger standard model from 1960.
it still runs perfect, ALWAYS, with CCI minimag ammo. second choice is winchester super-x, then remington thunderbolt.
My Kimber "Night Patrol" is a worse lemon than that one. Won't feed hardball right out of the box.Kimber won't even answer letters.
22 long rifle was originally made for 22lr rifles not pistols and certainly not micro pistols. The only pistol in 22lr that I owned was the Ruger Mark series that was reliable that was all steel with bull barrel.
Ruger has a great warranty. I had the same issues with one of my lcp 380s. It was made in the Carolinas. I sent it in, and they fixed the issue.
I could be an issue with the magazine followers and springs. I would suggest you take them apart and spray some silicone dry lube on everything before reassembling. Do not use regular gun oil. That can make it worse
I have an LCP Max in .380 and had the same problem with it not going into battery intermittently.
I sent it back to Ruger, and they replaced the barrel (something wrong with the lockup?) and it works perfectly now.
I carry it daily in a Vedder pocket holster made of Kydex.
Liberty .380 self-defense ammo has screamer velocity, and is more than adequate in a God forbid self-defense situation.
I even purchased a second one for my wife.
My MAX feeds and ejects great but suffers horrendous POA POI... and in fact my LCP ll 380 also does too, albeit much worse... 😆
It's been my experience, that RUGER builds excellent JAMOMATICS! Service Department friendly enough, but without results!! Ya throws yo' money down, and ya takes yer chancez!😂😂😂😅😅
I had issues with mine. Ruger replaced the whole slide assembly and it runs perfectly with federal target value pack. I love mine!
I'd recommend polishing the feeding ramp then trying something hard nosed like solid mini mags. When I got my Kel-tec P3AT, which shoots 380ACP, the feeding ramp was fowling up after about 20 rounds and would cause jams. So I've polished the ramp. I did it by using a Dremel with a hard wool cone shaped polishing bit and liquid diamond dust polisher.
I have put hundreds of rounds through my Ruger LCPII in .380 without feeding problem, even using cheap Norma FMJ & defense ammo.
The accuracy sucks but pocket pistols are designed for close-up self-defense (
Glad to see some gun reviews. Alot of channels stopped doing them. Also happy to catch a glimpse at the property update
I own three lcps in 380 and they've been flawless. And they are not locked and cocked, they are halfcocked and any pocket pistol should be in a pocket holster.
I've had two in 380 and both are garbage
I remember year’s ago I purchased an old High Standard Model B from a friend. It was well used and a bargain. I made sure it was cleaned before I took it to a private range and had problems similar to yours. The range master took it back to his bench then ran a couple of magazines with no problems. He said it needed to be lubed and he used Lubriplate, and told me to not use oil. I have never had problems since.
Had the same issue, in the the Ruger Max .380mm. I ended up manually racking about 100 rounds through it and it cleaned it up, and now runs great. I was shooting round nose and also flat nose, but no matter what i put in it, it would either not feed or it would fail to return to battery. Like I said tho, once i manually racked about 100 rounds or so through it, it cleared up and has run perfectly for me. I will admit, this is the one gun I do regret on some level for buying this, but as long as it continues to fire, I can only hope it continues to fire as it should. I will also add the .380mm is painfully snappy. I'm not to the point of carrying it for self defense yet, but it has operated flawlessly. Also, Ruger, for me anyways, has always provided superior assistance.
We have a Walther P22q that has become my wife's favorite gun, it runs very reliably. Thousands of rounds so far and minimal malfunctions when compared to the round count.
Walther p22 did a ton of polishing and removing material off the hammer to get it to run better. Still have stove pipe and not close all the way forward on the next round .I have tried 6 different ammo brands including mini mags. I have the Browning 1911 22 which shoots great but the sights are horrible non adjustable on the elevation so shooting 10 inches low at 15 yards. The best 22 auto I have shot is the Ruger 22/45 target.
If it's shooting on center, file down the front sight, a little at a time.
10" low at 15 yards is going to take a little work.
Otherwise, place the top of the front sight slightly above the target and see where you are. That'll give you a clue as to how much filing you've gotta' do.
Keep in mind, if you're shooting downhill, it's going low, uphill's going to go high.
For this reason, keep the barrel, in relation to the target, as level as possible while making any adjustment to sights.
Send the gun back Ruger. Once you get it back THEN report back.
I was educated long ago, you don't choose the 22 ammo, the gun has to choose it's own ammo. Semiauto pistols are the worst! I'd always see the "ring of fire" guns and fall in love, until I shot them. Had a little Beretta that actually worked, but I'd never trust my life to one.
I bought my 10/22 back in the early "80's, had to feed it thousands of rounds of CCI, but after that it eats pretty much anything now.
gotta say, you look So much better, congrats!
Using trash ammo and complaining about a 22lr pocket handgun not running properly is pretty comical. Use some minimags or some other high quality defense ammo and see how it runs. 22lr handguns are notoriously finicky and only tend to work well with particularly high quality, high velocity ammo. Yes, some 22lr handguns are less finicky, like my tx22 which is full size and will eat almost anything, but that's the exception and not the rule. After running about 200 rounds of CCI minimags or something similar, you'll have a much better understanding of whether it's the gun or ammo that's the main problem.
Exactly right about ammo and the TX22
I had the same issues with lcp ii in .22 and tried multiple different mags and various brands of high quality ammo with same feed issues.
Rugers were very well known fore eating up anything you put in them. Now they sell junk.
My Ruger MK1 and Smith and Wesson Victory are both like fat kids. They’ll eat whatever you feed em!!
@timburton9514 yea, those are larger frame guns too, which typically aren't as finicky as mouse guns.
Worst 22lr I ever had
Do not feel l, Dumb. Very good information. I have had many 22 long rifle pistols. Some are very picky and different chamber tolerances. This causes the chamber to fowl after several rounds and the carbon holds onto the spent case reducing the blow back operation. This ejects the casing but the slide does not go back far enough to catch the next round and slide it forward into the chamber. Acting like the slide is open after the last round. Rejoice. The bright side, I cleaned the chamber with a bronze brush and it works again until again Fowler with carbon. Rejoice again. It gives one a chance to learn to correct a malfunction and get a weapon back into the fight. Great training experience. Happens with many .22 I had and sold.
I had an Sig .22 Mosquito, it was a jam master, I took a dremel and ground the feed ramp a tiny bit and then polished it, then it shot perfectly, even with the cheap Remington golden buckets of bullets😅
I have the same Ruger 22LR LCP II and have had the same issues.
I find it runs well when I lube the mags.
Also when I lube the gun so much it almost drips.
Lastly, I have learned never to use hollow points, Armscor or Remington Vipers.
It is a fun shooter, but I would never use it for conceal carry.
Change your ammo, Mark. Every shooter knows thats the first thing to consider. You’re looking much more fit lately, congrats SF🇺🇸.
its the ammo
Main spring maybe? And polish feed ramp.
Dude said, “the smaller the better” 😂. Micro guns are a last resort.
Any .22LR semi-auto is iffy, being a rimfire cartridge.
You can't carry "cocked and locked" with no safety . The safety is the "locked" part with no safety you must carry a gun in a holster if you have a round in the chamber
Thanks Mark! Good luck with it.
I’ve had overall bad luck with my LCP as well. Same one that you have. I even paid and had the springs, etc. upgraded as that was recommended as a fix. It didn’t really do much. It is very picky with ammunition as well.
In my first year owning pistols, had 2 that couldn't finish a magazine without failures in 1978. A Ruger Mark One in 22LR and a Series 70 Colt 1911. Nearly every type of jam.
What kind of ammo were you using?
Rimmed cartridges stacked in a magazine is asking for trouble
If you run CCI I would bet that problem goes way down in occurrence.
I couldn't even guess at the number of "crap" 22lr rifles and pistols I have "fixed" with a box of CCI minimags. The LCP doesn't have a "safety" because it's double action. Its no less safe than a 38 revolver.
My sister in law had the same problems with hers. We shot lots of different ammo even some CCI stingers. A good gun to stay away from.
I have one and they don’t like the steel casing Cci mini mag or Cci velocities seems to work very well
Rimmed cartridges work well in revolvers and lever guns. Auto-loaders? Nah, I stay away from them, always will.
Also in bolt-action rifles.
Semiauto 22 handguns are picky about the ammo often. Try all sorts of ammo in various velocities. I suspect a higher velocity load just might be the charm. Of all the ammo types out there, 22LR is the most diverse in velocity. Also, like in rifles, each gun loves what it loves for ammo. Once you find what it loves, get a 1000 rounds or more and call it good.
My GSG does this same thing. I found out that I needed to use high velocity 22 amo. The problem was that there wasn't enough gas pressure to move the slide adequately for proper feed.
If you have the GSG 1911-22, it says right on the slide HV22lr required. Or you could scrape off all the paint on the inside of the slide and enjoy running subsonic ammo.
I would never carry a Striker fired "cocked and locked" unless it had a slide lock safety. Anyone doing so is a lunatic in my opinion, or at the very least ignorant. The reality is, he's the lemon.
I got one about 2 months after they first came out. It had frequent failures to feed. I wanted that pistol to work so bad I sent it back to Ruger 3 times free of charge and the third time was a charm. No issues since late summer 2020.
Shoot some good cprn high velocity ammo through that thing and also make sure your grip isn't causing you to bump the slide lock when you shoot.
I never understood why anyone that has been around firearms would choose a rimfire in any caliber for self defense. Simply rimfire ammo is so sensitive to handling of the ammo the primer disc will get moved out of position in the box if you drop it on a table and will not be reliable.
I'd say that it's likely either the ammo that's being finicky or maybe it hasn't been broken in yet. I always put about 100-200 rounds through my guns if they are new from the factory to ensure that they are indeed broken in. My Taurus G3C had terrible feed issues for about 50 rounds and then after that 50 round mark, it started to function flawlessly.
Someone said that some one at the factory put the spring in the clip backwards, rotate the spring and see if that works better.
"Magazine"....
@@denniseaton8136 yes.
Mark, what I am thinking is, it could be the lips on your mag. I have a Hi-Point .380 and it did the same thing, until I polished the feed ramp and took some needle nose pliers and gently opened the lips on the magazine. Just a thought
The worst 22 pistol I ever owned was a ruger 45/22 hunter. Terrible terrible gun, would not fire a full mag without jamming or failing to feed. I tried multiple different ammunition to no avail, that gun permanently ruined any chance of ever owning another ruger magazine fed pistol. The best 22 pistol I’ve ever owned and still own to this day is a smith and Wesson model 422. This pistol feeds anything and everything you put through it. Definitely explains why I’ve owned it for 35 years, it’s definitely a pistol I’ll never sell or trade.
I worked at a gun store for many years and bought one of these when they first released and mine has been rock solid! I do mainly shoot CCI ammo but it has also fed the bulk stuff as well! Then after awhile we started having a lot of people bringing them back in having problems with them! We had to send 4 of them back to Ruger and they were all the sliver slides like you have here!
That's the way I feel about anything made by Taurus.
I have many handguns, the bodyguard WAS one of them. Heavy trigger, low capacity, weighs more than better choices. Funny you like it. The LCP max is the best imo. Now, why oh why would you even consider a 22, let alone in a semi-auto. A total waste of time. You are going out of your way looking for an under powered, rim fired gun far more likely to offer you trouble. Even if it ran perfectly, the cartridge itself is less reliable. Unless you need one of every gun in your collection, just dump it. What's the point, you aren't recoil sensitive... so why?
I got the first version of the LCP that came out. Not sure of differences between it and later ones. However, I did notice that the hammer actually stays in a half cocked position after chambering a round and between shots. Hammer supposedly cannot accidentally fall from that position. Some automatics can be ammo sensitive too. Always good to put about a hundred rounds through brand new automatics, kind of helps with break-in, although, I've had automatics that ran flawlessly from day one.
My wife bought this gun for carry, she refuses to carry it because it was so unreliable at the range. Used a variety of cci ammo, just wasn't having it. We were both super disappointed in all the cycling issues it had , we had high hopes for it.
I'm gonna take it out at least one more time to see if I can figure something out, if not , I'll be sending back to ruger.
I had one and had several trips to Ruger and back. My problem was it would not allow me to rack out a dead round which would be game over in a self defense situation.
In most cases (no pun intended), the rim of a cartridge can get caught on the cartridge under it. It may be important that when loading the magazine, that attention is paid to how the cartridges are stacked - the back rim of the top cartridge should be before the front of the rim on the cartridge below it, such that each cartridge rim is staggered, so to speak.
If not properly indexed, the top round will try to drag the round below it forward, which may cause the top round not to be released from the magazine properly to feed.
I do carry a 22; a 22 NAA mini revolver as a backup. But my main carry is a Ruger LC9. I don't know, nor do I trust ANY Semi-auto 22. I have had similar issues with everything from a High Standard to a Colt Woodsman and every other 22 semi I have shot. It soured me on the idea. a revolver is the first great point and click device ever made. as to my LC9, I have 2 magazines and both feed and function perfectly. Ruger can make lemons, but they also make quality. Don't know if I just lucked out or they do put effort into this one that obviously was not put into yours. A good review sir.
AMMO NOT THE GUN. LOAD ISNT ENOUGH POWDER.
My biggest disappointment is a Ruger LCP,in .380acp.What a crap-tastic, jam-o-matic.Don't waste your money.
Yep they're junk 😆👍
I’ve been carrying an LCP max in the pocket for years and I love it. No malfunctions and no issues. Might be ammo related.
Lcp2 is my best pocket pistol. Either you are not using lube on the slide, or you're using an ammo that wont rack the slide.
My EDC is the 380 S&W Bodyguard and purchased the The LCP2 380 for the wife and after a range trip I traded it in on another Bodyguard. It’s not half the gun of the bodyguard.
I remember the days when buying guns and ammo was not a complicated process but now it's like trying to figure out a complex math equation, brand of ammo or gun, grain weight, etc., etc. I guess I am old school and prefer revolvers, the caliber and weapon match? alright then, just grab a handful of ammo from the Hills Bros coffee tin can, and head out. Weapons were basic tools then, but now they are delicate precision instruments. lol
Bought mine June 2022. After break-in of about 300 rounds, runs CCI Standard velocity without failure. Keep the slide rails greased
Is it just me...or is it painful to watch the extreme amount of movement required for trigger reset ? 22 LR for self defense? I guess it is OK if you don't value your life very highly.
Polishing up the feed ramp helps tremendously
I have an LCP in .380 auto and I have never had a problem. (Not a LCP 2!)
Hello Mark thanks to you and Maggie for posting lots of useful info ! I run CCI stingers in mine, not a single malfunction. Try the Stingers you'll be surprised at how well it runs. Have a BLESSED day my friend !!
My priest asked me to carry when I’m in church. I normally carry a 1911, which I rotate around since I have several. The holster I use makes it where you can’t tell I’m carrying. But, I wanted to be sure no one saw anything so I brought an Sig Sauer P365 9mm. It’s extremely small and hides very well. Plus it shoots 9mm which won’t piss the bad guy off if I ever have to use it. And, you don’t have to worry about it jamming or failing to feed. The only time I carry it though is when I’m in church, because I still prefer the 1911. I’ve carried one for the past 40 some odd years.
I thought he was going to say SCCY. I was in a guns store and they wouldn't even stock this gun. When asked they said they are junk.
Micro pistols are sometimes sensitive to changes in grip. Possibly changes in grip pressure affecting magazine? Or, could be Remington Thunderbolt ammo, too? Good luck sorting it out.
I have REALLY been considering one of those for summer shorts weather. glad to find out they dont work before i bought one. one thing i can tell you for sure is that the keltec P17 really is perfection.
I love mine. I only run mini mags and have no issues.
My lcp 380 max has never failed....ever. it axurate for a delf defense deep carry. With 12 round mags i feel more than safe
I bought one. It ran good for around 200 rounds then the trigger broke. Sent it back. They said they replaced the safety. Got it back within a week. Pulled it out of the box and the trigger was still broken. Sent it back again. The have sent me a new replacement lcp2 22lr. Haven't took it to the range yet. Might just trade it.
