- Shooting and discussing the new Ruger LCP II. By the way, at 17:35, it appears I actually pulled a dumb move and had my thumb behind the slide close enough that I think the slide hit my thumb. This is likely the reason the next round was not fully chambered. I did not realize this until when I was just watching the video.

My running/summer gun. Initially I thought “this isn’t enough” and “too small” but after hitting the range with it and shooting out at my buddy’s farm. Wow. This is more than enough to keep you safe in 99% of situations. Fantastic gun.
When folks poo poo a smaller caliber being used for self defense I generally ask if they wanna step back a few feet and 'catch a couple' then tell me what they think about it. No takers yet!
@@terryr.t.2113😅
@terryr.t.2113 bro, exactly. We say the same around here! 😂 people watch wayyy too many movies 😂
@@terryr.t.2113 That’s cute and all If you’re assuming that a potential attacker is going to be deterred by the mere presence a firearm, which in most cases may be true. But stopping power definitely matters if you’re dealing with someone who’s crazy, on drugs or simply isn’t afraid to die. There’s a reason why no police officer(that i’m aware of) carries anything smaller than a 9mm.
380 is definitely no joke but “i wouldn’t want to get shot with it” is not an intelligent line of reasoning for choosing a weapon for self defense.
Most people wouldn’t let you hit them with in the head with a large rock, yet that doesn’t mean that a large rock is a good choice for self defense.
@@shawnbenford496yeeeaaah, but I'm tall, decently strong and trained in martial arts. So if a couple shots from my .22 doesn't stop the threat. My fist and feet can handle what's left of it 🤷🏾♂️
So friggin casual but no joke - this is the most impressive LCP II shooting on youtube! You see guys from major channels struggling at 15-20 yards and hickock laughing and nailing this shit one handed.
That man is lights out on the range! Wish I was half that good
He must be a GOD! Lol jk he’s just a man! Or is he?
Gotta love his casual 80 yard shot! Experience is key. I own one and it is very shootable. Get out and shoot it a few times and you'll be good to go.
...and he emphasized that it is a defensive weapon made for 8 yards! I’m tired of guys talking about accuracy of CC pistols then taking 50 yard shots, stupid.
I noticed that too. We all know he's good but his performance with those big hands showed how exceptionally good he is.
The number one reason I watch Hickok exclusively when it comes to guns is, he does not pretend to be someone he's not! It makes me so sick to my stomach to see these guys in vids worrying about how their tactical stance looks on camera rather than just being normal and discussing what people want to hear about, the guns! Hickock is the George jones of you tube firearms videos, reminds me of that song who's gonna fill their shoes? Definitely not the guys who put on a big show with all their tacticool gear and how they act like they are in the army. Lol. Hickock is the real deal, just a good ol normal American that don't act like something he isn't.
I only watch Hickok 45. Tried to others and come back to the best.
I agree. He seems like the kinda guy that would hand you anything he’s got to take a couple shots if you asked. Just good ol guy that loves guns and poppin 2 liters. Not an overweight tacticool mall warrior.
Spot on
carljlockley oh so now being overweight makes you fake! I’m doomed lol
I like him because he isn’t covered with tattoos from head to toe. Gonna be some really ugly and regretful old farts around in a few decades.
Ruger needs to pay you a commission. This was the review I wanted to see.
I bought an LCP 2 and received it just days ago! I bought it because of his review. I was looking for an every day pocket conceal carry.
@@FootmasterSeattle just got mine an hour ago. how are you liking it ??!
@@trav-c137 hollow point is definitely the way to go for everyday carry. I just shoot round nose at the range.
I agree 💯
Just bought my LCP II last weekend, cleaned all the factory crud off with alcohol and soaked it down with Ballistol. I know this is kind of an old review but had to watch it again because hickok45 reviews never get old, he’s mine and my sons go to guy when we’re looking at a firearm for purchase. My son is in the Air Force and he’s also a reserve deputy, we have valued hickok45 reviews for several years now and hope to enjoy many more of them in the future.
Are you liking the LCP II? Wife might get the .22 version, I'm thinking the .380.
You kidding me? 80 yards? You hit the gong with an LCP II? Man, wish I could shoot like that.
The 80 yard gong is pretty big.
It could be the size of Rosie O'Donnell....I couldn't hit it @ 80 yards with an LCP. Nice shooting, Cowboy.
Lol I agree!
Here's definitely a good shot, certainly above average.
he would embarrass me at the range.
I purchased this gun online a couple days ago and I went into the gun store to pick it up. The shop owner told me it was only good at close range and that nobody could ever hit a Target far away with it I guess I need to show him this video! I watched a few of your videos this guy is definitely the best shot I've seen so far!
Your shooting always amazes me. And you show what even a LCP2 can do. It's the shooter more than the gun. Thanks.
Love how Hickok carries around magazines in his dad pocket aka front shirt pocket.
I had an issue with occasional failure to eject and failure to go to battery with my new LCP 2. Ruger gave top-notch customer service, replaced the slide assembly and barrel, and ran a box of ammo through it to test it, all at no charge. Impressive!
After all these years and videos it is still a joy to watch your videos, very informative and unbiased. Thank you Sir you are the Richard Petty of shooting videos.
I bought one, and for a small gun, it is really an excellent gun. The only changes I made are I put the Viridian laser on it, and I painted the front sight yellow using Testers model paint. Also, the new +1 extended magazines go a LONG way to making it easy to hold
Popular the gun industry knows shooters ok I rem when the 26 was small that things a giant know
I nominate Hickok45 for a guest appearance on the new HBO series Westworld.
I say Hickok45 for President!!!
Westworld has been fantastic, really enjoying it.
It would be awesome to see him and his son on there! He reminds me of Marshal Dillon
Brian C. Wuttke 100%

I just want to start off by saying, I absolutely love your videos. And how respectable you are with gun safety, and how straight to the point you are with the the reviews.
Secondly, I just picked myself up 1 yesterday.
( RUGER LCP II .380 AUTO )
So I had to come and check out your review on it. I was NOT expecting this! This firearm is a complete MONSTER for its size!
Keep up the great work, and thank you for all you do! Have a wonderful day.
This man Hickok is my go to when i wanna buy a new gun for the past 10 years..from my first gun at 21 to my little pocket rocket at 31
"I just happen to have in my pockets a coupla more LCP's."
This new version is arguable the best pocket carry pistol that you can purchase. Excellent trigger. Great sights for what it is and good ergonomics.
There's gotta be a gun called the Hickok 45
Some kind of 1911 model for sure
See the HK45. Everyone knows they named it after him 😂
Respect for that comment u need a million likes 👍🏿

*hits red plate*
Me: buys gun
James Porter haha that was my thought exactly! I said "I'm in".
haha!!🤣
Indeed
You down with LCP? Yeah, you know me.
Hickok by Nature...
😆👍
Woot woot
Does it have enough stopping power? I would like to carry one for night-jogging in Chicago.
@@Weixu919 it is plenty sufficient. But if you can deal with slightly larger frame, always go with a 9 for anti ppl. I jog with the LCP because it is so small that there is no excuse for me to not carry with me. And nothing in standard calibers is more concealable. Buy the gun that you are least likely to leave at home.
One of the best CC pistols ever made. It is simple to take down for cleaning and lubing. You can easily load the magazines without having to use a loader. Price has remained reasonable. Mine has always been reliable. I wish Hickock would share his aiming techniques.
Thank you for the honest review. I own one of the original LCP .380 and bought it purely for defensive purposes and size. It fits pocket case (which was separate then) easily. Hollow point, down dirty and up close (3-10') works great.
Sights are pretty poor now that I know better, LOL. Do like some of the features on the new model II, such as the slide locking back on empty magazine.
But, for the money and purely for my purposes, its a pretty good small pocket carry, and yes, I carry two extra magazines as well. Still not much in weight and size.
Like your review. Good, bad or indifferent (LOL) can always count on your honest opinion.
Life is good..
God Bless
where do you carry extra magazines and what holster do you use for LCP? I am thinking about buying LCP 2 with laser, but I don't like that holster that comes with it.
@@adrianakuzmikova1697 Vedder holsters pocket locker is what I use. Extra I just throw in another pocket. Desantis nemesis if I decide to put in jacket or cargo pocket. If super deep Vedder holsters light tuck at 4 o'clock or 1 o'clock
@@ScarredCitizen He didn't ask you..
Hickok you gave the best exhibition of cleaning and lubrication of an AR I have seen in a long time. Thank you.
Great video as usual! Just bought the lcp 2 and it’s a perfect cc pistol. This thing packs a punch, you certainly wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of this pistol. Added the hogue grip, highly recommended accessory.
I've been carrying my LCPII in my back pocket while walking through Seattle (after midnight) for two years now and feel quite safe. Even more so now after watching this review.
Michael Reeser One in the chamber?
Just curious
Only commies carry with an empty chamber
What I’m the world are you doing walking around after midnight in Seattle? Just kidding, I’m from Seattle so it’s a good idea to be strapped
@@jefferylawrence9812 lol I’m from Seattle too. Gotta carry now. Shootings up 40%. Thanks you incompetent mayor and city council
I’d carry at 3 in the afternoon. Doesn’t have to be nighttime to keep yourself protected ;)
It looks like Hickock added Tactical Laundry Detergent DLC to his range setup.

You're the best. You were one of the original UA-cam "gun guys," and you've taught me so much. The thing I like most about you is that you're a regular guy, and you have so many of the same thoughts that I do when I shoot the guns you talk about. Thank you so much!
Your video's have helped me make some decisions this month on my 9mm and 380. Once I held the LCP 2 and felt the trigger pull I was sold. Can't wait to take it to the range to try it out.
Now this is an awesome concealed carry option. Go Ruger go! Nice gun! Great review Hickok45!
First time at the range, I got an excellent group at 10 yds. It’s my first single action pistol, and I’m so impressed with the ease and accuracy. It pretty much put my Sig 365 on the back burner for my edc. Love Hickok reviews!
I love how you don't complain about short barrels or short grips even with your large hands . Let's us know that even small guns are accurate. Training and shooting Wil make any handgun a useful tool. Love your videos brother
Remember my old man had those wooden handle screwdrivers too. When he passed, I got all of them. Noticed them lately and thought of him. Saw this screwdriver and thought of him again. Thanks Hickok...
No matter what gun you shoot you are hitting the targets. Goes to show experience is more important than price. Nice video. Going to look into one of these.
I've had an LCP II for about 3 weeks, really like it a lot, even better than my previous LCP Custom.
You are man Mr Hickok! I love watching you enjoy your backyard .. what an awesome setup
I really enjoy the sound it makes when you walk through brass, gravel and shotgun shells.
Thank you! My wife and I are still new gun owners. Bought our first fire arm two months ago, a 12 gauge for home defense and then of course my wife wanted a 20 gauge for herself and then we bought our boys a 22 rifle. Just a few weeks ago we decided we wanted a concealed carry gun and this was the exact gun we bought. I actually got a deal on it for $175. I love everything about it thanks for the videos
Just bought one with the integrated green Viridian laser. I was going to go with the LCP MAX, but that square front sight just makes me think that it'd going to get caught on my pocket if I have to draw quickly. I can't thank you enough for these videos!
@@natjonestower3035 did you get it? i got the lcp 2 because i needed a defencive gun to protect myself from my skitzophrenic niehbor who threatend my family if she was to try to kill us like she said. ive takin it to the range to figure out how to use it, took me a second to get the recoil down but now its like nothing im 200 rounds in so far not a failure. i use fiochi 95gfmj but i bought a box of S&B 92g because the gun store i go to was closed today. hope the S&B is good. i know fiochi is. love my lcp 2 tho its easy to conceal and carry 24/7 makes me feel alot safer as well. i recomend a boraii pocket holster its a edc for me, i also have a concealment express iwb holster for it too
Enjoy watching your videos. Glad you did this LCP ll video. I’ve been carrying mine for a couple years now and I just love it. Best carry pistol I’ve ever had, and it is very accurate. Thanks again for your videos, very much appreciated. 😊
Hickok this is probably the 5th firearm I have purchased because of you 👍🏼👍🏼I just bought a LCP 2 after not wanting a .380. I always said the smallest I wanted was a 9 mm. But my M&P Shield 9 is small but I did not always pocket carry. With this I do now and it is a nice little pistol, reliable (300+ rds and fits nice in my hand 🤚 ( I'm 6'0") Never leave home without it 🔫
Lancair W what does being 6-0” mean!? Lol you could be 6-4” and have smallish hands I’m just joking with you but you see what I mean?
I bought 2 guns from buds because of you Hickok. .lol
That was the plan... :D
Ive got a mosin nagant coming from buds soon :3
they don't even have the LCP 2 in stock on their website that I can find. they must have sent him the only one
Socalcarspotter Awesome!
Emil-O
love your videos, I bought the lcp when it first came out and I love it, put many rounds thru it with no problems and I am pretty accurate with it, great gun.
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you another great review. You do a great job of presenting all the pros and cons. Looks like a nice little
handgun. 🤗
Best Ruger LCP video featuring the three models for comparison - period!
If a 2 liter ever breaks into my house, I’ll wish I had one of these
😂🤣
Not to worry...
H45 has decimated their population already.
And if you ever break into mine . .you'll wish I didnt . .
@@BrokenPathsKentucky I didn't know chuck norris had a youtube account. Nice
Always love the size of the lcp , sold my old lcp and got this lcp 2 love it
Same here! Put on Hogue grips n you'll love it even more!
I have the lcp2 with hogue grip and Veridian laser, it is awesome.
I know this video is 4 years old, but you helped set my mind to the Ruger. I've been wanting a pocket concealed carry, since I been trying to conceal a full size Glock 17 9mm, because of my hands being so big like yours. This is the next gun I will buy, thank you Hickok.
Thanks to both of you for the excellent reviews including the LCP II. My LCP II has been a good pocket gun for me. I will note that it does not have a firing pin block. Because it lacks this safety, I carry with the hammer cocked but nothing in the pipe.
Excellent review! I have a Custom and carry it in complete confidence; it's as safe as a double action revolver. Provided a family member with an lcp11. He will never carry with a round in the chamber so it's ideal for him.
If this guy ever got frisked by the police I can just picture all kinds of guns falling out of every pocket, sock, waistband, and a couple under his hat.
lmao 🤡
Great review. Thanks for your "hard work", I am definitely in the market for one now.
Bought one for my wife a while back. She absolutely loves it! We also bought the extended 1rd mag from ruger, it gives a place for your pinky finger to hold onto much better!! Just a great little gun for your edc.
I love all you gun reviews. Plus I also love to watch you shoot! I recently purchased the LCP II 380 due to size, weight, and ease of pocket carry. I did carry a Walther 9mm PPS M2. Since the average conflict normally takes place only a few feet apart, 380 hollow points will make most people want to quit their attack!
thank you ! I found my new concealed carry.
I was excited for the Ruger LCP II but had to wait until Hickok45 had his turn with it. Now I am on the hunt for one to buy. Keep up the great work.
CoyoteHunter2506 did you do that with your wife or gf too? Lol sorry can’t help myself lol
I love that you don't talk for 20 minutes before a round goes down range.Just right into the action! Great vid!
Great Video! I pick mine up in the morning.
can't see the sight, proceeds to hit in the 10 ring
sureshot jay yeah we all saw it!
As a fellow senior citizen that cherishes firearms and has a great deal of respect for those who knows who and what is what, keep on keepin on. Amen and Amen brother. God bless.
Your vids are the best. I just bought an LCP II recently and love it. It is in my carry rotation now after my Glock 26. It will get a lot of warm weather carry for sure.
Man, Carhartt can make a t-shirt. He's got 5 loaded mags in the front pocket and not even a loose seam.
I put hoque grips on my lcp, alot nicer. Love this gun. Easily concealed and doesn't weigh you down!
thank you for your video in helping me purchase the lcp 2 today, cheers!
I think I saw when it failed to go back into battery you left thumb was slightly behind the slide. I was waiting for the ouch! Great videos I love your channel...
Hickok45 scares the hell out of me he's hitting a red plate with this LCP at 75 yards that's only one foot wide 🤠
I didn't catch your thumb behind the slide till I read the description and checked ouch that was a bit interesting. Awesome Hickok love watching.
With my large hands, it's always a challenge to grasp a small pistol; however, I normally don't do that. I actually had my thumb back almost far enough NOT to interfere with the slide. "Almost" is the key word. It didn't really register in my brain while I was shooting, but I can see that it obviously hit my thumb when I watch the video.
hickok45
Yes it is very awkward feeling handling a small pistol. I help my little boy shoot a raven arms 32 ACP very small gun his first gun, once I had my thumb just slightly behind the slide and it nicked my thumb just a little bit
hickok45 hi Hickok nice video, I see it's got the trigger safety catch like the glock series which is nice and a lot more better looking then the old one. how much does one of those cost over there? always enjoy watching your videos.
This guy is just the best! Extremely popular UA-camr as a senior :) reminds me of my grandpa almost! Take care Mr. 45!
Loved the review and your laid back demeanor. Great job.
Very impressive shooting with the LCP II. I have the LCP custom. It's a great pocket pistol. Also have the LC9 for conceal carry. I'm not a fan of the long trigger pull though.
Went into Buds in Sevierville today for a G4 Glock 20 and left with the polar opposite, the LCP 2. I sold my original LCP last year after 4 years of pocket carrying it. I always absolutely hated the trigger. Sold it since my Shield and G43 are so easy to carry. After trying the lcp 2 trigger today, I had to have one for those times I can't carry IWB.
I watch a lot of pistol videos, and you--by far--are the best shooter.
Thank you for your informative videos....impressed enough to actually order my gun recently thru Buds Gun Shop (they were friendly, helpful and quick to get out my order at a great price). Thanks again from California!
A little surprised to see him hammer the slide pin back in. pulling the slide slightly back releases pressure and allows the pin to easily slide in.
what holster do you use for ruger LCP 2?
I also own all 3 of these, and the original remains my favorite. I prefer a heavy trigger for a pocket gun - it is far safer that way. Also, the sights on the LCP2 are closer to the LCP custom, making getting it in/out of a pocket more likely to snag.
I have the original LCP and you have convinced me to purchase the II. I will be ordering from Buds today. I no longer purchase guns without watching your channel first. Thank you
Just ran across this loder video,I have one of the older LCP's ,I've gotten used to the not so good trigger and I've added a crimson trace laser site and a hogue rubber grip to help my hold.It does very well for me.Good videos thanks!
Great overview
I love Hickok45!!! You're my new role model!!!
Tyler Small I hope your like 16!years old looking for a mentor
Thank you and your son seriously for all the knowledge over the years!
I've been carrying the Taurus TCP in my dress pants pocket 5 days a week for years. I just picked up the new LCP II. After a couple hundred rounds an no malfunctions, I'm retiring the TCP to backup duty and switching to the LCP II for the improved sights and trigger. It's so easy to shoot fast and accurately, shoots more like a compact 9 than a pocket pistol.
I love my lcp for concealed carry
I got mine 2 weeks ago! I love it! I'm a 60 yo grandma and its much easier for me to carry than my Ruger sr9c, though I like that gun too.
Good review as usual. I am considering one of these for pocket carry. I tried one at the local range. I had the same issue with the sight picture. A little paint. I also had the slide hit my thumb once. Big hands, little pistol. The only thing that annoyed me was that it seemed to eject shell casings forward which meant I couldn't recover them for reloading due to the indoor range configuration. I can live with that. Your opinion helped. Thanks!
This is why Hickok 45 is the preeminent reviewer of handguns. Not sure why I went anywhere else when I could have came here first, thank you so much!
Never found a good reason to trade in my Taurus TCP... the LCP II looks pretty good though...
1:48
Just happened to have these in my pocket... mixed in at the bottom with some tictacs and change... oh, I forgot they were even in there...
Lol tic tacs and change. Reminds me of the bottom of my grandmother's purse when I was a kid. Consists of pieces of winterfresh gum stuck to pennies 😂
I agree with you on the paint. I have the older model and put a little orange paint on on the front sight and it makes the gun much more shootable.
Nice review! I plan on keeping my LCP Custom. Both are great guns.
23:23 The squirrel is outta there
Was eye balling your thumb waiting for you to move out of the way, but nope lol smacked!
Also caused it not to go into battery lol
I have one of these myself,I’ve owned a few .380 and this thing ZIPS! The lcp 2 is a fantastic little pocket gun for when I go out with my family. Usually most my life I have carried 4 inch sigs and to switch to something so small I was a bit nervous,now I can say with out a doubt this was a great switch I made.
Thanks for a very informative video. I just bought mine today! I can't wait to shoot to practice with it!
Little Cool Pistol. Sure wish I could get one of those in my country. To someone who is 5'6" it looks good.
Lastindependentthinker hey your small stature doesn’t mean small gun. Quite the opposite is true actually. You would shoot a full size much better BUT for concealment purposes small is good.
Lastindependentthinker bruh this fun is so tiny. Smaller than a pack of cigarettes it will look small on anybody.
@@ashc4167
Full size pistol are difficult to conceal. This thing you can just throw in your front pocket and won't even notice it
outstanding. I to am a "non 380" guy. BUT i have been thinking about getting one since ammo is better these days. Thanks!
Andy Palm - At arms length, 380 and 9mm kinda do the same thing.
With modern ammo the .380 is very sufficient
Thanks for this great video Mr. Hickok. Going to purchase my LCP II today.
Mine's in my pocket as I type. Nice little pistol.
You're spot on about your thumb, I was wondering about that. Good catch!
23:25 That Squirrel is asking for it, lol.
You got that right!!
"No Fear", funny,probably one of 45s sidekicks. He knows that man can shoot.
I'm really tempted to pick one up for a back up or a deep carry but I think I'll wait and see if they release another model with more improvements in the next year or so.
After your review of the Ruger LCP II, I'm definitely going to get one. On Nov 1st, Oklahoma Constitutional Carry law goes into effect. Thanks Hickok45.....I greatly appreciate your mastery of firearms !
Great review again! Love it, I've got one. You're right, dot the front sight. Also, do yourself a favor and get the seven round extended grip mag, makes all the difference in the world to me. Can get my pinkie on the grip without printing much. They just came out with em, about $25, but well worth it!
