About the Ruger LCP Custom
The Ruger LCP Custom is a compact .380 ACP semi-automatic pocket pistol, an upgraded variant of the popular Ruger LCP introduced in 2015. It retains the LCP's polymer-framed, hammer-fired blowback action and lightweight sub-10-ounce profile, but adds a distinctive red hard-anodized aluminum trigger with improved, shorter-pull geometry and a larger, high-visibility replaceable front sight for faster target acquisition. It was designed as a deep-concealment defensive handgun for the civilian carry market.
The LCP Custom's signature red aluminum trigger became an instantly recognizable visual cue, marking it as the enthusiast-oriented upgrade in Ruger's tiny-pocket-pistol lineup before the LCP II took over.
