“Tag: Ruger LCP”

Although Sturm, Ruger & Co. was one of the last major manufacturers to “super-size” the capacity of its compact 9 mm Luger offering, it is one of the first to apply the popular staggered-stack magazine technology to a pistol chambered in .380 ACP.

Right now, the hot topic of conversation in the self defense community is the sub-compact class of carry pistols dubbed the 'Micro Nines,’ which are becoming ever more prevalent in the current market.

American Rifleman staff take to the range the latest update in Ruger’s concealed carry lineup, a semi-automatic that offers lightweight, pocket-size security with increased capacity and improved functionality of original LCP designs.

The popularity of small-caliber pocket pistols chambered in .25 ACP and .32 ACP has waned considerably in recent years due to an ever-growing selection of sub-compact models chambered for larger cartridges, including 9 mm Luger and .380 ACP—a transition that occurred, in part, due to the 2008 release of Ruger’s Lightweight Compact Pistol (LCP).

Ruger upgraded its compact pistol lineup with the all-new LCP MAX, which stuffs 11 rounds into a firearm footprint the size of the company's popular LCP II.

Ruger's LCP is a great option for concealed carry use that is also budget friendly, and is still widely popular for a 16-year-old .380 ACP handgun design.

RUGER’s LCP II (Light Carry Pistol) chambered in .380 ACP took the pocket pistol market by storm just a few years ago. For 2020, the company has launched the Lite Rack version of this little semi-automatic chambered in .22 Long Rifle.

This new rimfire version of the popular .380 ACP pocket pistol is an ideal understudy for affordable practice at the range and casual plinking.

The new low-recoiling Lite Rack pistol features an easy-to-manipulate slide designed to fire comfortably regardless of the hand size or strength of the user.
