I recently purchased a Ruger LCP 2 from my LGS off of y’all recommendation! Love the feel and trigger of the gun, but just one problem it didn’t work.
I took it to the range and fired 175 rounds through the gun, 100 rounds of Aguila, 50 rounds of Winchester, and 25 rounds of Hornady American gunner XTP. I had 8 malfunctions all of them were FTE or FTFeed. With multiple Ruger factory magazines, I did NOT limpwrist the pistol and it was lubercated with Mpro 7 oil before the range. I called Ruger and the CS was great (this is my 2nd Ruger gun I have a 10/22 I bought as a teen and it didn’t work ether and their CS SUCKED at that time). Fast forward to today and I got the gun back in 1 business week. They replaced the barrel according to the notes and fired 24 malfunction free rounds through the pistol. I plan on taking the pistol to the range tomorrow and will update the thread then! @Tomac I know you requested the thread so here it is

I have an LCP that was only semi reliable . I read about changing out the recoil spring to one 2 pds. heavier and it cured the problem .
With the origanal spring you could ride the slide easily to not even close completely. |

Update:
Took my repaired Ruger LCP 2 to the range today and fired 125 rounds (100 Winchester service grade and 25 Hornady American Gunner XTP). I had NO malfunctions and had no problem keeping 98% of my shots on target (8in circle) at 10 yards. 100% on target at 7 yards with same target. Very happy with the accuracy of this pistol and now happy with the reliability! It conceals well even in my shorts. |

Outstanding OP.
I think you'll find that the LCP 2 shoots way above it's size and weight class. |

I have about 600 rounds through mine and it does FTE once in a while. In my last outing, it started to FTF after rapid fire. I'm gonna test it again this weekend and see if I need to call CS. It's strange because the first 200 rounds without cleaning it was completely malfunction free.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got some FTEs, but I think I narrowed it down to one of the 3 magazines. I'm going to contact Ruger to see if they can send me a replacement. |

So I now have 6 magazines total. 1 that Ruger sent me, 4 that I bought that came in two packs, and the original it came with. Out of those 6, 2 of them did not malfunction at all at the range, the new pack of 2 that I bought had some feeding issues, and the one that Ruger sent had some FTEs. I ran the one that I thought I had isolated as a bad mag that would FTE and it ran flawlessly. So maybe it's not the mags.
The new mags had an interesting malfunction too. It extracted, but when it tried to feed the next round, it tried to feed 2 rounds into the chamber vertically, facing up. All the mags are marked "Made in USA", and I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed, but the bottom of the mag has a number stamped on it where you would push to remove the mag plate. The two that did not malfunction are marked #1 and #2, I had 3 that would double feed, all marked #3, and the original one it came with marked #4. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So I bought a used Glock 42 to pocket carry while I send the LCP 2 back. I sent it last Tuesday and I already got it back today. According to the note, they only replaced the extractor and shot 24 rounds with no malfunctions. I'll test it out this weekend and see what happens. Meanwhile, the used Glock 42 I've shot about 200 rounds through has had no malfunctions except for one premature slide lock with a full mag. |
