| I will buy one, like Rhino said, after the initial recall and when the price drops. No way I'm paying 300 bucks for that plastic gun. LCP version ones are going for way less and so will these. And they will sell a ton. If they work. And make a threaded barrel one. |

While it may not fit your requirements, I'm sure Ruger will sell plenty of these, as not everyone is up to shooting a 9MM / 380 micro pistol, and a well placed 22LR has been killing people since it was invented. Granted, not cool or marginally effective by todays standards, but I doubt it anyone will volunteer to be shot by a 22LR pistol.
It wouldn't remotely replace my Beretta 87 and I really have no need for one, but I'll see how its doing in a year or so after the semi-manditory Ruger recall.
I agree, I'm sure Ruger found a niche and is aiming for it. My wife is going to get her LTC in the next month and we are looking at a Sig 365 for her. But I do know she is also interested in a micro semi auto as a 2nd gun and she hates my LCP, she could barely hit paper with it at 7 yards, unlike the rented 365 she tried, or her G26 in her nightstand. This new LCP might be the thing for her as a backup carry gun.

| It will be interesting to see if this Ruger LCP II .22lr feeds and ejects without issues. I had my go with older Beretta 21a and the 950 and some had feeding issues with ammo other than CCI stinger.

| I'd be tempted to pick one up. I don't like these two-piece triggers, though. Is there a suitable method for replacing that?
God bless America. |

My 21A wasn't reliable. I'd never buy another. |

| Yea, Beretta 21a’s aren’t known for being sewing machine reliable. I have 2 and they are finicky. One way more than the other. I love the IDEA of the Bobcat not necessarily the actual Bobcat. Buy a Beretta 87 instead. |

| It's weird the different experiences we make. My Beretta 21A was totally reliable! That little thing never jammed and I shot it quite a bit. I lost interest in it and sold it after a few years. Should've kept that one. |

| I would kill for a reliable 21a. Lol |

Me too. I love the concept with the tip up barrel, but once was enough for me. |

| Some of us have good days, and bad days, with our hands.
Even on my bad days, I can still handle my air weight S&W 22 revolver.
Truthfully, if the round is reliable, and can penetrate deep enough, everything else gets a bit statistically insignificant.
(And it wouldn’t matter in my case. - I have a couple of other revolvers which work on bad hand days, but are difficult to hold.) |
