Thank you for this video!. I took mine apart to clean it for the first time and had issues figuring out how to put it back together .
Thanks for the tutorial. Took out the sear spring pin by accident. Saved me a good amount of time figuring it out.
Yeah that sucks getting those 2 back in!
Same here... Had no idea the mess I created by pulling that seat pin😅
Thanks so much! I accidentally removed the hammer catch and had no idea how to put it back. Thank you!
Planning on upgrading my spring set in the 22 lr. This will be my bible how to. Thanks for posting
This video is shown installing the sear pin in the wrong orientation at 28:27. The notch is intended to retain the spring. If the pin is installed incorrectly as shown, the gun can at first appear to function, but after firing the sear may become misaligned with the hammer and fail to operate.
Great catch! I thought it was the other way around on disassemble.
Still much gratitude for this video and it's maker. Even gunsmiths are human.🙂
Best tutorial on the 22LR LCP! Saved me 👍
Thank you very much bro! Saved me actual money and you earned a sub. It was the smallest mistake but I dont think I wouldve figured it out. The damn spring on the trigger unwound and caught itself in a way that did not seem out of place. Went over that spot over and over. Then I saw you wind it back around.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. This was incredibly helpful.
Great video! just removed the magazine disconnect/spring/pin out of my LCP II .22lr. Functions fine without it! Really wish they just left it out. Now to try removing the safety...not sure if I can, but I'm going to try lol.
I really wish there was a video on disassembly of the 22lr version. It has a couple extra parts and I've never seen videos or pictures of where they go and how they work. It's just hard to believe there's so little information on them regardless of how popular they are.
@@deucedeuce1572 This pistol was pretty simple to disassemble. If you are worried, just take good photos along the way so you can remember how to reassemble it. It's the best way to understand how it works.
@@pyrogun1839 That's good to know. I know the .380's are simple and the 22lr only has a couple extra parts. Might sound weird... but I actually do my best to never buy a firearm unless I know precisely how each and every single part functions and to know all the possible issues and fixes for those issues (and how to assemble, disassemble, clean, lubricate and maintain it). Might seem like a pain in the ass, but I actually know how many 100's of firearms work... and when I don't, I can almost always find all the information I need on them. It's actually pretty rare that I don't know how a gun functions and can't find the information online.
In this case it would probably be easy to just buy one when I'm able to and then learn how it works when I get it, but I try not to do that. I normally don't have to anyways, but I just think there's no reason information would be impossible to get for any modern firearm in production. At the very least, the companies that make them should be responsible for making that information available. It should be a safety requirement, so people know how to take care of their own firearms and have the ability to verify that they're in safe, working condition. (Forgive the rant).
Thank-you for this. All I can say is that last/3rd pin on the frame and is a PITA to get the sear and spring back in. I HIGHLY recommend not removing it! The rest is pretty easy. Interesting gun!
thank you so much!!! that hammer catch and last pin killed me lol
There's a small hole on the right side of the frame that you can put a punch in to hold the sear forward while you install the chassis into the grip module. You push the sear forward and put in the punch (or pin) to hold the sear forward, then just put the chassis back into the frame and then remove the punch and it's a little bit easier. I think I used a toothpick one time, because I didn't have a small enough punch and it worked just fine.
Nice tip!!
a magnet tray is imperative...keeps small parts from flying to the "Island of Lost Parts"...bought a roll of magnetic 'paper' from Amazon to make a larger try for myself.
Thanks for the video!
Was having trouble putting the hammer catch back in, slave pin idea finally worked.
Still not doing that again, unless I have too:)
I did put the red sigurd trigger in. Looks good with the stainless cerakote finish.
Glad the video helped, appreciate the comments, glad you got it figured out. I bet the new trigger feels great
Great video. The main thing I learned is that I won’t be doing this.
I think I have solved the problem. The pin that holds the sear needs the notched area to the left. I removed the pin using a punch, slowly so everything was still capture and the push became the pin. Then I reversed the pin such that the notched side of the pin would wind up on the left side of the pistol when seen from the rear. I used the pin to force out the punch and then retouched the hammer spring and put the line back on along with an empty magazine. I test fired and it fired the hammer correctly. I repeated several times and it continued to function. Then I took it to the range and fired through a bit over 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mags and Federal Target. I had one failure to feed with the federal target and no failures with the CCI MiniMags. The trigger functioned properly every time.
Until I get 300-500 rounds through the gun I won't have absolute confidence but this was a big step in the right direction. Let me know if you think anything else could have caused the issue. Thank you for your video. I could see that the sear was not sitting parallel to the hammer where they meet which is what lead me to think that having the notched part of the pin in the wrong side was allowing the sear to cock on it seat just enough to keep it from traveling far enough to release the hammer. I hope this information helps someone else that might make the same mistake. By the way my method of using a large pair of tweezers to hold the spring mounted to the sear and then using a punch as a substitute pin was a lot easier than using a slave pin. Once I tried that it took me 5-10 minutes after fighting for hours to do what the Gun Bench made look relatively easy.
In the video, he does in fact put the sear pin in the wrong way at 28:27. I experienced issues similar to yours after doing reassembly as shown in the video.
I was stuck. Thank you so much for this video!
I’m still stuck man lol
I just picked up a newer used LCP 2 .22lr and it is not working. Your video was a big help, especially the sear removal and replacement. Thank you for posting !!
Now you know why it was for sale. I bought mine new, and it’s been back to Mayodan twice. They can’t fix it.
Turns out I was not able to repair it myself and sent it to Ruger and after about a month, they decided they couldn’t fix it either and replaced it no charge. No problems with the new one
I like the clipdraw's, makes it easy to pocket carry. They are well made and I have them on all of my compact pistols
I appreciate the information man. You helped me out.
So long story short Curiosity got The Best of Me took my gun apart and couldn't figure out how to put it back together your video was wonderful! And I got my gun back together thanks to your video!
Hey it happens they seem so easy to take apart then you miss one little thing and it makes reassembly a nightmare. Glad I could help thanks for watching
Great work Brother! If I may suggest, a headlamp and a vice. And perhaps a bit less fast flipping around. But that said, very informative!! Im guessing this is the same for the first 2 versions.Oh, and if u push the slide back 1/8" the pin will go in/out easier 👍
Thank you for explaining this so well, very helpful. 👍
Huge help. Thank you
Great Job! You are the gun King!
Thank you!
This is great. It would really help if you did it with a white background. I am about to take mine apart to upgrade the trigger and all the springs. This really will help.
Appreciate the video. I wonder if a magnet would help pull the extractor out. Have one of those magnets on a stick things and it can be pretty useful sometimes.
Do the complete disassembly of the r up her wrangler
Incredible video, thanks for filming this!!! I have a problem with my .380 LCP II ... and thought I would pose the question here ... the gun spits out the magazine while shooting, not every shot but at least once per magazine. I have installed a heavier mag release spring, so it's not that ... but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what is causing that to happen. Anybody have any ideas???
...prolly easier to find a small all axis hobby/bench vise and lock the frame into it via the triggerguard...I had a stroke 20 years ago and my left hand doesn't have the strength/flexibility it had once...I need all the help I can get. the safety on mine is difficult to move to both the on and off positions...I need to find out why
I'm not sure if the serial number plate thing is necessary for stabilizing the chassis in the frame... but it's kind of a pain in the ass to have to deal with. I constantly see damaged grip mods and scratched up frames from people trying to take them apart to clean them. It makes sense for them to make them like that for a couple ways... but at the same time, I wish they came up with something better. (or easier for disassembly).
EXTREMELY HELPFUL THANK YOU MUCH
Mine has extra parts than yours, It's some kind of catch. Mcarbo's vid is wrong too. Now I'm screwed.
The pos trigger broke on mine. Thought about replacing trigger myself but looks like a pain to do so will prob just trade it in on a S&W .380. Or just have it dismantled And destroyed.
Galloway Sigurd trigger is nice.
Oh yeah looks like a good trigger for 35$
Reassembly starts around 19:46
I think that my LCP II was able to shoot the entire mag maybe twice without jamming. I have no idea what is wrong with it. As if cocking mechanism is too strong
Found a 40$ ruger lcp 2 parts kit. Was thinking about buying it because I thought it came with everything. I don’t think there’s a single stripped receiver for sale
Now how do I grind the sear to make it full auto?
Great video!! I probably watch this video at least 10 times! I own and lcp max which looks like it has basic layout as the lcp 2. I have a question that I need your expertise and experience to answer if you kindly don't mind. Is the engineering and construction of the sear, hammer and pins that hold it together strong that i wouldn't have to worry about having some mechanical failure such as sear cracking or chipping? I feel kind of uneasy being that sear is under full tension of the hammer. I know its has a hammer catch. I was just wondering if you feel that the sear is strong enough to catch the hammer. Also, is the hammer and sear engagement strong? Do you see any way the sear getting chipped or breaking from the constant pressure of the hammer? I definitely would love your advice.
I made the mistake of knocking out the pin that holds the sear and sear spring. After watching your video, making a short pin like yours and many hours of fighting it I finally found a way using tweezers to hold the spring to the sear while I used a punch to feed onto the sear and through the spring into the opposite hole and then used the pin to drive our the punch; however, since then, after reassembly, and testing the firing and safety, after firing two rounds the trigger would not cause the sear to release. I took it to the store where I purchased it and had their guns smith look at it and after a few hours of him trying, it suddenly started working correctly. I then took it to the range where I fired about 50 rounds when it happened again. What can possibly be wrong? Does it matter which side the notch in the retaining pin is located? If so what should the orientation be? With the slide removed and disabling the magazine lock I can see the trigger is trying to move the sear to release the firing hammer but it doesn't release. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
...a 'magnet-on-a-stick' might help remove the extractor...
Now do the LCP Max. The sear goes in the metal block frame now
So no firing pin block?
Kiana Reaves competitive shooting
Da no live ammo at your cleaning ststion
THANKYOU!!! lol.OMFG! This gun was such a bitch to tear down and put back together. I do love the gun though.
Still cannot put the sear assembly in. Hardest gun to put together ever in history. Bout to throw the gun away
How far do i need to go if i wanted to pain just the frame?
Thanks, mine is the new one with the slide safety and theres an extra spring that's not in the video. Where can I find the parts diagram for the new version?
I can send you a photo of the spring if you leave your email. Thanks
@@stevemajors9914 got the manual?
@@toxingne5748 no but I figured it out and it's awesome now. Let me know if I can help....stevemajors34@gmail.com
hey so somehow the pin that hols the hammer spring fell out of my lcp 2. Do you know where I can order this and whats the exact name. Right now the hammer spring is just floating around in there not attached to anything. I don't know how it even fell out. But any help would be appreciate. thank man
If it’s the pin my thinking you’re talking about it would be the hammer spring seat pin.
@@TheGunBench hey thanks for responding. Do you know a good site to buy one from? And thank you so much for all your help
After that ,,,,,I think I'll just leave the extractor alone. Geeze
This is why Glocks are so popular, almost every other pistol you need to be a damn gunsmith to work on it.
Sound?
Awe, dont SAO convert a Shadow 2. grab a 75 for that, or an SP01 safety model. that DA trigger is too nice and purpose built for Production class to destroy. ... also, it's your gun, so i don't really care either way ;-)
Ah no way I love SAO guns! It can always be converted back if need be
@@TheGunBench It's blasphemous! Like having a DA/SA Browning Hipower!.... wait... that's actually kinda a cool modification.... damn it all. you win ;-)
I say if they wanted it to be shot in DA they woulda put a decocker lmao there that’s my rational reasoning haha
🤷🏽♂️ i bought a purple gun for a great price! 😆
