Ruger LCP Car Mount: LCP, LCP II and LCP Max Explained
LCP car mount guide: the Ruger LCP, LCP II and LCP Max each have their own magnetic mount. Learn which you need, where it goes, and how to install it.
The Ruger LCP is one of the smallest and most popular pocket pistols around, and its small size is exactly why it gets lost in a car. Slide it into a console bin or door pocket and it ends up under everything else. An LCP car mount gives it a fixed home you can reach from the driver’s seat.
Ruger now makes three LCP models, and each needs its own mount. This guide covers the LCP, LCP II and LCP Max: how to tell them apart, which mount goes with each, and how to set it up.
Key takeaways
- The Ruger LCP, LCP II and LCP Max each have their own At The Ready magnetic mount.
- Check the model marked on your pistol before you order.
- Each LCP mount is $95, or $105 for the optic-ready version.
- Small pistols benefit most from a fixed spot, so test placement from your normal seat.
Three LCPs, Three Mounts
Ruger publishes each model’s details on its own pages: the LCP, the LCP II and the LCP Max. At The Ready shapes each mount from one pistol’s actual slide:
| Your pistol | At The Ready mount | Standard | Optic-ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ruger LCP | LCP mount | $95 | $105 |
| Ruger LCP II | LCP II mount | $95 | $105 |
| Ruger LCP Max | LCP Max mount | $95 | $105 |
The model name is marked on the pistol. If you are still not sure which one you have, call At The Ready at (469) 304-8535. Ruger owners can browse every Ruger mount, from the Security-9 to the Max-9.
A Fixed Home for a Pocket Pistol
An LCP car mount holds the pistol with rare-earth magnets in a premium ABS body shaped from that model’s slide. The pistol sits in the same position on every drive, so you are not digging for it. The trigger guard stays open, so keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Optic-Ready?
Most LCPs run iron sights, but if yours has a red dot, or you plan to add one, choose “Optic: Yes” for the optic-ready version, $10 more. The optic-ready gun mount guide explains the details.
Where It Goes
Because the LCP is so small, a console-side or lower-dash mount keeps it easy to see and reach. Test the spot with your empty pistol from your normal seat, keep clear of airbags and pedals, and consider the angled mount adapter ($14.99) if the grip sits close to your knee. Our truck gun mount placement guide covers more options.
Installing It
Every mount ships with screws, VHB tape and primer. Use the screws, or the tape with the included primer for a no-drill install. Customize with 25 colors and up to 18 characters of text at no extra cost; black is the standard base color.
Safety and the Law
Practice reaching for an unloaded pistol until it is automatic. A mount is not locked storage, so take your LCP with you or lock it up when you leave, and check the carry laws wherever you drive.
