Ruger built on the success of its incredibly popular LCP II with the release of an all-new model chambered in .22 LR. The so-called "Lite Rack" variant features, as its name implies, a slide that requires little effort to be drawn to the rear, making it a perfect shooter for those who struggle with manipulating handgun slides.

Each Ruger LCP II Lite Rack in .22 LR features a 10-round magazine, as well as the same styling and texturing found in the company's lineup of .380 ACP variants. For those who feel comfortable relying on .22 LR as a defensive caliber, this Lite Rack LCP offers easy handling and virtually zero felt recoil. Additionally, it serves as a great training option for those who own the centerfire .380 ACP model.
