I recently experienced a serious issue with my LCP II. While using the Remington ammunition featured in your video, the barrel of my firearm exploded and shattered into pieces when I pulled the trigger. I promptly sent the firearm back to Ruger and described the incident, but I never received a clear explanation for the barrel failure. After discovering your video, I believe it might provide the insight I’ve been seeking into the problem I encountered. I plan to contact Remington to share the link to your video along with images of the damaged firearm to investigate further. It seems evident that there may be an issue with the Remington ammunition. On a positive note, Ruger was kind enough to upgrade me to a Max model at no additional cost, although I no longer have the built-in laser that was on my LCP II. Thank you for sharing such an informative video. I am relieved that neither I nor anyone else was injured in this incident.

I know I'm late to this one, but I'm wondering if you ever resolved this. Did you contact Ruger? When I first got mine, I had this problem twice in the first mag or two that I shot. Never happened again. As mentioned below by someone else, I think this was a break-in issue.

How come I read a dozen reviews before buying this pistol and no one mentioned the going into battery problem? I had that problem plus the accuracy was terrible. I sent it back to Ruger and when it came back it was better but still disappointing.

Zero issues with mine. They are getting better. I've figured out to let a gun sit on the market 2-3 years and let them work out any kinks before I buy and try. That is unless there are no issues reported within the first 4-5 months, everyone's is working, then I feel safe trying early.

After I initially got it and noticed it not feeding FMJ, I did a full cleaning and another lube job and worked the slide about 100 times to manually break in the slide and springs. I then ran my carry Ammo through it and it fed fine. Maybe it just doesn’t like FMJ, but since I don’t carry FMJ and it likes ARX Inceptor, I’m okay with it.

Similar issue posted by Darbvader around November 2022 - the title to his post was: "Ruger lcp Max problems. Cause & Solution". His issue was a Ruger manufacturer slide blemish. Ruger replaced his slide/barrel/& recoil spring and guide rod within 2 weeks of being notified of the malfunction.

I got it back put a hundred round through it and it shoots fine. But I've seen a lot of reviews like this and this seem to be a big problem. Also it shoots low replace the sites with the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard sites

Thanks for this video. Bought one myself a couple weeks ago and have the same problem. Both Fiocchi ball and Federal HP's. Quit trying after about 30-40 rounds. Cleaned aggressively, with no improvement. Did notice during cleaning that two of the grooves in the barrel were either corroded or partially unpolished. Ruger is sending me a replacement barrel/slide assembly. I'll update this comment when I've tried it out.

I would look at 2 possible suspects: the magazine and the Remington ammo. I once had a bad box of that same ammo in 38 Special, and I had numerous failures to fire. But the thing that really caught my attention was when my J frame Revolver Jammed! Yes, you read that correctly. The primer cap on one of the rounds was not fully seated into the back of the casing, and it jammed against the side of the gun, preventing the cylinder from revolving! Now, getting a revolver to jam is quite an accomplishment, don't you think? I haven't bought any Remington ammunition since.

@@TheHandHistoryVault Hand Loads, Sig Sauer Elite, Sellier & Bellot, Sig V•Crowns and theirs a couple more i cant think of right off hand. I seen all the negative videos on how Sigs V•Crown sucks at expanding so i wanted to test it. I used my LCP Max to do it with and it produced a bullet that expanded into the most perfect flower shaped bullet with sharp edges all the way around, i have ever seen. Edit: I will say when it comes to handloads, it likes 2.8 - 3.0 grains of HP•38, seated at 0.950" the best. And i tried a 3 shot group with my hand loads to check performance. At around 14 yards, i shot a 2.5" group. Im sure their is people that have done better but out of a 2 3/4" barrel, that is impressive in my book. I sincerely hope you find out whats going wrong. I will say this though, EVERY new pistol i buy, i use Flitz Metal Polish with 2000 grit Wet/Dry Sandpaper to polish the Chamber and Feed Ramp. Idk if that will help you out but you could try. Update Again: Hornady Critical and Remington were 2 others i had forgotten about.

I had the same issue initially at the range. Hung up like that every third or fourth round of FMJ. Went home looked it over and manually exercised the pistol. Next trip to range mixed up mags of round nose and flat point and it ran fine. Will do this again next trip and add in some MHP rounds as well. I'm thinking it just needed some break in exercise.

It is not the ball ammo that is the issue. I had the same issue with Remington .380 range bucket ball ammo. Next trip to the range I ran 4 other boxes of ball ammo (Fiochi, Federal American Eagle, Winchester, Ammo inc.) and all worked just fine. Switched back to Remington and the issue happened again (repeatedly) so I have concluded that the Remington does not work for the LCP MAX. Also, no issues with hollow point ammo I've run.

I have an original LCP but if you pocket carry it, it will get pocket lint inside of it, that will cause it to not go into full battery, along with some other things. You should clean the lint out of it frequently. Not saying that is your problem, but definitely something to keep in mind.
