“The LCP Max might not win in the looks or shooting department. But it sure is the smallest and lightest gun that will reliably shoot 10 rounds of .380 ACP.” – Eric Hung

“The Ruger LCP II is a fantastic option for people looking for an easily concealed .380 ACP pistol. It is surprisingly accurate, considering its size, and plenty reliable for self-defense. One thing we’d like to see is better customization options. All in all, we really like this gun.”
The Ruger LCP is a .380 chambered semi-auto pistol that offers a convenient concealed carry gun to those looking for a slim pistol. Perfect for pocket carry, this tiny pistol also works well as a backup gun. It can hold 6+1 rounds in a standard mag and 7+1 in the extended mag.

final verdict
“But after learning its quirks I love it for its sole purpose…to be the ultimate combination of weight, size, and capacity for a .380 concealed carry gun. Be aware you’ll likely need some sort of break-in based on our experience. And to only feed it factory brass ammunition unless you want to train for malfunctions. Otherwise it has nice sights and a snappy shooting experience that make it still very effective for defensive distances. Based on its reliability, size, and capacity I carry it when I dress down with athletic wear that doesn’t support a gun belt.” – Eric Hung
