The Sturm Ruger LCP II in .22 LR is a compact and lightweight semi-automatic pistol that was introduced in 2020 as an updated version of the older and well-renowned LCP model. This model is produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co., an American firearm manufacturing company founded in 1949 by Bill Ruger and Alexander McCormick Sturm. The LCP II is chambered in .22 Long Rifle caliber and known for its reliability and ease of concealment, featuring a black oxide finish which provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The "LCP" in the model's name stands for "Lightweight Compact Pistol". This firearm features single-action operation and has a capacity for 10 rounds in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber.
Manufactured in 2020, this .22 LR caliber firearm is built to Ruger’s high standards of durability and function. With an SAO action, it provides smooth trigger pull for improved accuracy. It features a black oxide finish that protects the gun from wear and tear, providing a sleek and stylish look. The 10+1 round capacity means more shooting and less reloading, offering superior versatility in various settings. It is truly a blend of modern design and timeless functionality.
The gun's Lite Rack system includes refined slide serrations, pronounced cocking ears, and a lighter recoil spring, allowing for easy slide manipulation. Low recoil provides comfortable training, optimized to function with high-velocity ammunition. It has a patented floorplate assembly, ensuring a compact 10-round capacity. It extends the grip for improved control and retains the LCP II's popular last-round hold open function.
Additional safety features include a manual safety oriented in a push-forward-to-fire configuration that is instinctive and unobtrusive. It utilizes Ruger's reliable and proven Secure Action fire-control system that combines a protected internal hammer with a bladed-safety trigger. The trigger has a short, smooth pull, clean break, and positive reset. Additional safety features include a magazine disconnect; neutrally balanced sear with significant engagement and strong spring tension; and hammer catch to help prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
