Although I really like CCI ammo of all sorts, for .22 rimfire I think Aguila is more consistent through my whole collection of ,22, .22LR, and .22 WMR firearms. That being said, the mini-mags will do the job in the LPC II just fine.Only this one View attachment 41339
You know Joe I did get a bunch of Aguila it did run good in the summer hotter months I started to have trouble with them in the winter . The only thing that would work was the mini msgs 36 . Do I will try them again in the summer both my lcp2 and Walter p22 reacted the same would not shoot them .Although I really like CCI ammo of all sorts, for .22 rimfire I think Aguila is more consistent through my whole collection of ,22, .22LR, and .22 WMR firearms.

I have to admit that my outside shooting becomes limited in the winter as I hate the cold. Winter is indoor range time for me, so I haven't had your experience, and appreciate the heads up. If I ever have to work in the cold I will use my mini-mags. Thanks again.You know Joe I did get a bunch of Aguila it did run good in the summer hotter months I started to have trouble with them in the winter .

I haven't but being at 1640 fps I don't see a problem good luckI am still experimenting with ammo in my 22LR pistol. It came back from Rugar service with new springs. I think the hottest one I have now and need to shoot it , is the CCI 32 grain 1640 FPS.
The Federal 45 grain under a 1000 FPS was bad. The other two shot okay but still jammed…..
I am spending a lot to find the ammo that works as good as it can.
Flyboy, i agree. I dont care if a persons wants to carry a starter pistol or siren ,im not going to insult them or the choice of weapon. Respect is a thing that went by the wayside when our parents generation passed.God help usI liked this pistol for it's size and lack of recoil, since after years of gun ownership I still do not consider myself a crack shot and ready to handle any problem while carrie a gun.
I have a carry license now and went through the course qualified on the range with a 9mm and even passed the written with a required over 80% mark.
So I walk a round with a Rugar 8 shoot 22 revolver with a sticky holster and can pull /it in 5 seconds and start pulling the trigger if need be……
However I also have a Rugar LCP 2 LR 22. I had problems with feed and learned that the ammo could be a problem. To be sure I sent it back the Rugar and they changed the internal springs and shoot 100 rounds with no failure, as their report said!
Great I though and I took it to the range and it did really well but still had a few feed problems.
So, I just bought a 100 rounds of the hottest CCI 36 grain bullet with a rating of over 1600 FPS …… (rifle)
I really like the the little 22LR pistol want to pocket carry it…..
Lastly the reason I am writing this is because I was literally insulted by a range employee, who is an expert in his field that the LR 22 is literally garbage and it is dumb to carry it or even own it.
Now I never will be as proficient and experienced as this fellow but I really like the gun and want to work out the problems.
I am not new to shooting but I am getting older and re-coil is a problem when under a self defense situation……
BTW I dislike people that look down on others with less experience and this is one reason I am writhing this rather lengthy story…..
Thanks

Flyboy... I'm no expert, but I believe that 15/25 round clips are illegal in NY State..... IIRC, 10 rounds are the absolute max... (?)Thanks for all the replies and I know when one commits to carry that we take on a lot of responsibility and own all rounds coming out of the gun.
The other part of the story is carrying with one in the chamber. During my required NY training it was drummed into us that one in the chamber is the only way . I have to say, i was uncomfortable and again the instructor stressed in the chamber is the only way.
The range qualification required us the draw from a holster to qualify. There were numerous dry runs until we all had the commands down pat. The high accredited instructor was nice but stern with years of training mentioned that a friend of his accidentally shot himself in the leg drawing his pistol. It got my attention. The training went well, but i could see how pulling the trigger at the wrong time was possible. I also practiced a lot pulling and racking the slide over and over until I could do it pretty good. There was even information that the Israeli Defense force carried with no round in the chamber?
So until I am comfortable, I carry the Rugar 8 shoot 22LR revolver with a pocket sticky holster. I practice drawing it and firing at the range. RIght now I am comfortable with it. I can draw it and with the heavy trigger pull fire close range fairly well.
Thanks again and I to add to the story I have a Rugar 10/22 breakdown rifle on order…..Using the best 22LR ammo and the 15/25 round clips makes it a viable weapon and plinker !
Thanks again all

It happens to be my favorite compact weapon now. In my case, the only failures I have had were because I was dumb enough to try sub-sonic ammo in it. Not enough oomph to re-cock reliably. Other than that it has been as dependable a .22 handgun as I could ask for. Love the weight and size as well. I like the .380 version as well, though because it's light the recoil is probably more than expected- but easily handled. Still a .380.I have a 22lr lcp2 it's the worst 22 I have a stick is better
