  • I bought my Ruger LCP2 22LR from Buds, it’s a nice little pistol, however when I decided to use CCI’s Subsonic 22LR’s they fail to eject properly, I’m assuming do to the decreased power. Is there a weaker spring available for the slide?

  • No weaker springs available. I'd buy a stock spring and remove a half coil at a time till you find the right length that will make it work. By the way, common to have sub sonic rounds not cycle in semi auto guns.

  • Have you tried CCI's Quite Semi-Auto Ammo? It has a 45gr bullet and is designed for Semi Autos.

  • Steve, I'm finding extra power springs but no lower power springs. Unfortunately looks like your stuck with using higher velocity rounds. Knows it's a pain but I'd shoot off the rest of the subsonic rounds by racking the slide each time or it always gives you a reason to buy another firearm. Sorry but hope this helps.

  • I'm unable to find any weaker springs available, unless you purchased quite a large amount of subsonic ammo I would simply just try regular 22LR loads. From a barrel as short as the LCP 22 nearly all loadings of 22LR should be subsonic anyway. I have trouble getting subsonic 22LR to cycle in any semi-automatic firearms and generally only use it with my suppressed bolt action.
