I purchased both last Friday and now had a chance to take them to the range.
Prior to the Range I broke both down and cleaned them.
I lubricated both with gun butter lube.
I replaced both guide rods with Galloway SS and the recoil springs with 13# galloway springs
I did put a Hogue hybrid grip on the LCP Custom.
Now for the Range trip. I brought Speer Lawman, Blazer Brass and Geco FMJ. For JHP I brought Hornady Custom, Hornady American Gunner and Fiocchi Extrema. I will be getting Underwood Extreme Penetrator
Both guns were FLAWLESS with ALL the ammo. Every combination of FMJ and JHP in multiple magazines were flawless
The Custom was wickedly accurate. POA=POI I could group at 7 yards about 1-1 1/2 inches without even trying. Trigger is somewhat long and stiff. The Hogue grip was very helpful. Recoil was not bad. Sights were decent
The LCP II trigger is much nicer. The grip is already wider like the Hogue. The sights are low profile no snag which is great but for range use they suck. Any defensive use for either one will be point and shoot.
Here is the only difference I was ALWAYS shooting 2 inches to the left and groups were about 2 1/2-3 1/2 inches at 7 yards. I expected just the opposite due to the much nicer trigger on the II
SO all in all I put about 150 rounds through both. I would not hesitate to carry both and will be carrying the Custom since I shot it so well. Here is the kicker..MY wife tried both and grouped about 4" with the custom. She did very well with the II at about 2" group and center of mass. So I suspect its nothing more than my grip or hand size and not the pistol with me grouping consistently to the left with the II. She will carry the II and I will carry the Custom when pocket carry
