    Part came in fast and exactly as described.
    Definitely will do business again in the future.
    Great upgrade
    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.

    This is so much more than the factory part, the selection of material and maching are superb. Worth the price of admission.
    No Reason Not To
    review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
    I installed this at the same time as all other available springs and trigger, and together, they really brought the pistol up to another level. It's hard to say how much of a difference this makes by itself, but for $10, I see no reason not to. It takes less than a minute to install and has zero drawbacks.

    This Stainless Steel Guide Rod should last a very long time. It fits and works perfectly!!!
    Very nice quality
    review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
    I purchased this guide rod along with the Mcarbo takedown pin for the LCP Max. The Mcarbo guide rod is smooth and very well machined.

    Some people have reported seeing galling on the stock Ruger guide rod. If so, look for metal burrs surrounding the hole in the slide that the guide rod passes through when the slide is retracted. You will want those burrs removed before using your new and stronger Mcarbo SS guide rod.
    Smooth stainless steel finish
    review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
    Visually seems to be the exact length, width and shape of the original. Very smooth stainless steel finish. The original had galling seen through the black finish with 500 rounds. I am sure this will remain "as is" with a micro dot of oil after cleaning.
    Upgrade
    review-star review-star review-star review-star review-star
    Cost effective upgrade. Very slick and solid built. Keeping the factory guide rod as an emergency backup, however, I doubt this stainless one will ever fail. The slide operates nice and smooth as the springs slide on this guiderod.

    Question:
    Is the Ruger lcp Max guide rod same as the LCP II guide rod? Also, can the Lcp Max heavy duty stress-proof takedown pin used in the LCP II 22Lr hand gun?
