TTAG commenter TruthTellers messaged me on YouTube and commented on the Ruger LCP II press release post, sharing concerns expressed by many that the introduction of the LCP II would mean the LCP Custom is going the way of the dodo. We reached out to Ruger for comment and were informed that…
The original LCP will remain in production. However, they strongly encourage that prospective purchasers try an LCP II before committing to an LCP or LCP Custom. Apparently the LCP II’s trigger is “extraordinarily better than the Custom’s,” and the sights are quite useful yet have lower potential for snagging than those of the Custom.
