Yes, better sights, better trigger, magazine comes with extended grip. Comes with pocket holster (not sure if LCP’s do)

yes. I just did a bunch of shopping and reading, and previously owned 1 or 2 of the LCP1s. yes! the 2 has real sights, real trigger, comes with both mag floor plates and a pocket holster. I was able to shoot steel plates at 15 yards the very first time I had it out the other day. So I say do it.

Imo I like the regular LCP better for a few reasons. The first is the size. On a pocket carry gun, size matters and the original LCP is a bit smaller.
The second issue is the fact that there isn't a firing pin block on the LCP II and the hammer is fully cocked. Ruger says not to carry with a round in the chamber. That's not something I want to worry about. The original LCP is only in the half cocked position, unlikely to set a round off if the hammer did fall. That's a huge thing to me on a gun I'm carrying in my pocket. Now, that said, the LCP II does have a better trigger and better sights. Neither are a fun gun to shoot though, so I'd rather have a little heavier trigger in exchange for better safety and size. |

The grip is a little bit wider, but better textured, compared to the old model. The trigger and slide hold open on the last round make LCP II very much worth it. Trigger on the original LCP was trash, not only because of ridiculous pull weight, but because of the wonky, two click very long reset. The sights are only slightly improved.
If money is an issue, people are dumping the original LCPs for $150 and probably under. Even with it’s faults, it’s still a very usable and easy to conceal .380. But, the new version is much better. |

Thanks guys!
I ended up getting the LCP 2 with a second magazine and 50 rounds of factory ball ammo for $250 out the door. |

I’ve had an LCP and LCP Custom and now and LCP II. The LCP iI is the best of them all. If they would make a drift adjustable II I would love one but I’ll keep using this one until then.

I have an LCP Custom and it is a beautiful shooter. It has a better trigger and real sights. I wish someone made dot sights for it.

I just bought a new LCP 2 for 239.
Looking for a second mag, 7 round. Used some white nail polish on the front site so I could get some contrast. Going to step out back and put some round thru it shortly. Likely get some critical defense and see how it shoots. What're you guys running for carry ammo? Eta - just put 30 rounds armscorr fmj thru it. First round FTE, cleared it and the rest were all good. Surprisingly accurate is my first impression. At 7 and 15 yards was easy. |

So since it’s difficult to conceal a Glock in a shoulder holster sometimes I figured the ankle is the only other option. And I like options. Plus... I never had a problem shooting clay pigeons @ 7 yards with the LCP, so I think the sights are sufficient for what it is. Obviously it’s not a gold plated .45 that you might wear to your presidential inauguration, but it works well for poking holes in tight spaces.  Attached File |

I had a original LCP and it hardly had sites. I got a newer Lcp 1 and it had way better sites and a better trigger. I put a hogue grip sleeve on it and it’s a great pocket gun.

I love it. I’m able to wear it just above an 8” steel toe boot, all day at work as a maintenance technician. Up and down ladders and all sorts of positions. My pant legs are a little long so it’s covered well. And VERY comfortable. The neoprene fits like a “glove”.

+1 on an ankle holster. I currently wear a G43 in one daily and its very comfortable when wearing boots, less so with shoes.
My LCP currently riding in my front pocket but will be switching it to the ankle. Its lighter weight and size may help when wearing shoes. My leg injury and nerve damage makes having a calf strap uncomfortable and partially strapping it over the boot keeps it in place nicely. |
