I have gone through a number of LCP's since they came out. Moved on to better quality. I did keep the last one Ruger replaced. A Gen 2 with the nice DAO trigger. I do not shoot it any longer, but keep it in the house hidden. The Last Ruger LCP I purchased was the LCP ll in 22.cal. I shoot it often to keep up my Small Pocket Pistol skills along with my favorite 22.cal the LCR.
I really do not like the trigger at all of the LCPll. I personally will not carry one, but that is just me. Maybe the new model trigger is different. Just curious, doe the pistol come with a safety like the LCPll. I am guessing it does, since it would be the only way I would carry one if I had to.
I saw a number of used LCP's starting to spring up at my LGS. in the $230.00 range. Still high for the LCP but ok in todays market and a much better buy IMO. Glad to see the LCP get night sights, a long time coming.The extra rounds are of no interest to me. 7-8 rounds is more than enough. If others feel they need more, I have no problem with that.
That said, I bet the new LCPMax will be a huge success for Ruger. You have got to hand it to them, they know marketing. And it goes to show you that the 380. cal is still selling like crazy.
