review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
I tried a competitors trigger on my LCP Max and wasn’t thrilled with the results. Pistol was barely useable. I installed all the MCARBO parts available for the pistol. Now I can actually shoot it. It’s now a great little back up pocket pistol.
Awesome improvement

Mcarbo trigger for Ruger LCP max
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
Triggers in LCP’s were all atrocious until MCarbo came along. I tried one from a competitor that didn’t measure up. I just purchased the second one for my latest LCP, the 75th Anniversary edition, which has a much improved factory trigger but will still be replaced with an MCarbo. This trigger makes the diminutive pistol worth carrying.
A Great Solution
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
It's too bad that Ruger fumbled when it came to the trigger design on their LCP Max. The OEM trigger pinched my finger and made shooting painful. MCarbo's design is much better. While using the MCarbo's installation video (which goes too fast to easily follow) to help, the process was simple and the end result is that the pistol is much more comfortable to use.
Ruger needs to use these in the stock gun
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
With all the upgrades, it significantly improved the pistol. IMO use the 12lb spring, the 10lb one is too light for carry and doesn't feed all types of ammo. The 12lb spring gave me an average trigger pull in the mid-4lb range. The upgraded trigger can be set to have almost no travel, which was my issue with the stock gun. It also has a more noticeable reset than the stock trigger. It eliminates the annoying metallic "ping" sound when dry firing as well. From a non-gunsmith (but someone who tinkers) the video provided by this company is easy to follow. Make sure you buy the correct loctite and punches before disassembling the gun though. Just spend the extra money and get everything, feels like a pro tuned performance center gun now. Also, if you are replacing the recoil spring, make sure to put the original INNER spring back into the gun. The stock gun uses 2 recoil springs and the upgrade is only the outer spring.
stopped feeding properly
review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
Try to imagine the sick feeling of an everyday carry gun that can only shoot one or two bullets before it jams and is hard to clear.

That is the state of my Ruger LCP Max after installing the M*Carbo trigger, spring kit, takedown pin, guide rod, and recoil spring. I used the 10lb spring.

I followed the videos very carefully. I used all the right tools, and dry firing is smooth.

It is more accurate than before, but out of 9 attempted rounds, 3 failed to load all the way into the chamber, and one was seated in the chamber, but the hammer was not cocked.

I had to drop the mag to clear the three that jammed on the ramp.
Nice trigger

This is the 2nd of the that I've bought. Love the look and the quality. They need to work on communication though. Never did get a tracking number even after I emailed about it. Showed up about a week later. Probably won't buy anything else from this company until they fix their problem.

Question:
I've had my trigger installed for several months now and I've noticed the trigger blade "safety" is no longer moving freely and staying in the "ready/fire" position. It doesn't appear it was under spring tension and the spring is gone. Am I incorrect, or does it just need a good cleaning. Thanks, Daniel

Question:
With the 10lb spring, the creep was slightly better than the factory trigger, but my LCP Max would not feed properly for 60-90% of rounds (depending in the ammo used). With the 12 lb spring my LCP Max would feed flawlessly again, but the creep was slightly worse than the factory trigger. Should the M*Carbo trigger have a long 3 stage creep? It has a long first stage, then a very short second stage, and then it fires with additional pressure with no further travel.
