As always a great part from MCARBO. A bit beefier than the original Ruger take down pin. Nice 45° taper, easier to put back into the pistol. MUST recommend.
Solid piece. Much better fit than OEM
Better parts equal better reliability.
I have had 3 Rugers in the LCP Line. I bought my first pin out of curiosity to see what would be better. My fear was what would I do if the factory pin broke. MCarbo’s quality is so good it is an automatic purchase with any LCP.. My Max is the third LCP and everyone has a MCarbo Takedown Pin.
I haven't had a chance to fire the pistol since replacing the takedown pin but I don't expect any issues since I can manipulate the slide with no issues. I'll never fire enough 380 rounds to test the strength and reliability.
best aftermarket pin yet - fits perfect and easy to put in. Be careful of the double recoil spring when taking the slide off. highly recommend this pin as a upgrade for your LCP max
This pin is beefier than the factory one. The head is thicker and the engagement locks in tighter. I don’t see this walking out while shooting. You can see and feel the difference when you go to remove the pin for takedown. Definitely worth the price for the improvement over the factory pin.
Disclaimer: my factory pin hasn’t failed over ~250rds I’ve put through the LCP Max but this upgrade is more for peace of mind and ease of installation. The chamfer on the end does make a difference when re-inserting past that spring. For this price you can’t go wrong
Great product, much more robust then OG part. Easy to install.
The original take down pin took multiple attempts to insert when finished re assembling the pistol. This new heavy duty pin goes right in the first time...every time. The head is visibly thicker than the original and the recessed area is more defined...to lock it in place better.
Great M*CARBO value part, again. Super easy install and you will be glad you did, every time you field strip the amazing LCP MAX.
Today, I installed the Mcarbo stainless steel guide rod and takedown pin on my LCP Max. Both pieces feel substantially stronger and better built than the originals. While I had no problems with the factory parts, these will give me more confidence in an already great pistol. Thank you, Mcarbo.
The pin is easy to install. I added a bit of red paint to mine.
Arrived quickly and the replacement piece is obviously stronger than the factory original. East installation needless to say. Recommend.
The stock takedown pin kept working its way loose and was hard to get back in. I read about the MCARBO pin on a couple of Ruger forum posts and when I took a look at it on their website, it definitely seemed like a better design, so I ordered one. It was much easier to put in than the stock one and did not come loose when I took it back to the range and put another 100+ rounds through it. Thanks MCARBO!
This pin is easy to remove and install. It should last a lot longer than the stock pin.
