Ruger LCP II & LCP MAX Short Stroke Flat Trigger

Trigger is a great improvement from original. Installation was fairly easy thanks to instruction video. My 1st time taking firearm apart besides to clean them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Far better than the stock trigger and noticeably better than the other after market trigger that is available. Customizable, comfortable, and performed as advertised. This is well worth the upgrade and in my experience improved the performance of the firearm significantly. I replaced the trigger only.

Own an LCP MAX 75th Anniversary edition. Support-hand only trigger presses sometimes the trigger blade safety would not depress to allow firing. Entirely an ergonomics thing, no issues running primary-hand.

The MCARBO flat trigger provides exactly what I am looking for:

1) Maintains trigger blade safety function.
2) Does not alter OEM pre-travel unless you want take advantage of that feature.
3) Provides positive trigger function ergonomics with either hand which is important to me for a defense pistol.
4) Clearly is quality made with a thoughtful design.

I like it.
