LCP Max Trigger Spring upgrade
Combined with the MCARBO Flat FacedTrigger, these springs are the frosting on the cake. I used the 12 lb hammer spring and set the take-up and reset where I wanted. It is a different pistol, from pretty decent to outstanding. Travel is smooth with a crisp break and short reset. Taken all together MCARBO's LCP Max upgrades take a very good pocket pistol to a whole new level. Their installation videos are VERY good and make the installation quick and easy.

Must have!
I installed this spring kit along with the trigger and could not be happier with the results. now i have a great 3.5 pound trigger that is much easier to shoot. This tightened up my groups and gives me the confidence i need to have in a carry gun.
Fantastic Upgrade for LCP Max
The trigger went from what's expected from a pocket pistol of this size to something unexpected. Much crisper trigger break and the 12 pound spring is about perfect for this size handgun. Much better groupings after the addition. Thanks MCARBO for great upgrade products.
Makes a good gun a great gun!
This upgrade is an absolute necessity; for me it improved the overall feel and function. I went with the 12lbs. spring for the install. It feels perfect!
10# spring
I got the max on Monday and installed the kit on Tuesday. Like many of my guns I buy I don’t shoot until I put the upgrades in. Same in this instance. I don’t know what it would have shot like before installing the kit. I also installed the new flat trigger kit at the same time. I can say the dry fire noise was horrendous very noisy. So glad I changed that. It is now quieter and with a smoother trigger pull. I did however notice that firing the weapon I need to squeeze the weapon firmly in my hand or I will get a none fired round. Now holding firmly I can rapid fire without a problem. Like always I feel my upgrades like these has made me a better weapon.
Light primer strikes
Installed 12lb trigger spring. Left stock firing pin spring in. Greatly redudced trigger pull, but completley failed to fire anything I tried. If you depend on the ruger max to protect yourself, do not install this garbage.
Outstanding!
Gets rid of the annoying "clang" noise when dry firing. Kit was super easy to install and everything fit just like stock. Can't wait to get this on the range to test out my easy pull trigger setup.
Worth It
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 easier to control which adds to my confidence. Install was pretty easy with their videos and instructions; all in, it took less than half an hour. I chose the 12# spring just incase I get a hard primer. My range has steel targets set up at 15-18 yards, and I can easily put all 12 rounds on a 1/3 torso with half second splits.
I see that the 75th anniversary is sometimes labled as 'double action only'...will this spring kit and trigger fit the 75th version? model # 13775
I have this spring kit on my first LCP max and it takes the hollow sound out of the hammer dropping, It's great BTW!!!
LCP MAX Firing Pin Spring stock is 6 lb what does yours turn it into?
I installed trigger kit and the 12 pound spring kit. My gun now has a high failure rate. About 7 out of 10 rounds will fail to load. (It ejects fine)
Typically, (6-7 rounds out of 10) the problem is that the slide does not go all the way forward, but about 2 out of 10 rounds actually fail to enter the breech.
I have tried 3 different magazines and 4 ammo types (Ball, HP, and Hornady Critical Defense - with all giving the same results)
I ordered the stronger recoil spring and was wondering if it may solve these issues?
If the new recoil spring does not fix these issues, is there anything else that can be recommended?
(The gun worked flawlessly prior to putting in the spring kit and trigger – although with the factory parts, it seemed to impact about 10” below point of aim. With the new parts, the point of impact is much closer to the point of aim at 5 yards)
Also- the trigger really helped eliminate the trigger-slap (or pinch-feel) on my finger. It feels much better now (If I could just get the gun to function properly!) 😢 Thank you
I installed the short stroke trigger and the trigger spring kit (12# hammer, trigger return and firing pin). While I love how it feels I’m getting light strikes with multiple ammo brands. Trigger pull is coming in at about 3 lbs. What can I do to fix this?
Are you sure you changed the firing spring? That needs to be the lower pound weaker spring to prevent light strikes. Are you sure you put in the 12 blue instead of the 10 red?
Would installing a 13 pound recoil spring add any benefit when using the MCARBO spring kit?

The recoil spring will just prevent the slide from slamming back too quickly. This spring kit has everything to do with trigger pull.
why do you need to replace the trigger spring if you dont replace the trigger?
If you like the full benefit of the kit, we recommend replacing all the springs
Does the weaker firing pin spring in the LCP MAX kit affect the safety of the pistol if dropped?

Ruger LCP Max Trigger Spring Kit is drop Tested according to SAAMI Standard Z299.5 rating (12" & 48").
Is the trigger return spring lighter or heavier than the oem spring? What does it change in the feel? Also can it be used independently from the other springs in this kit?
Can I use just the firing pin spring and hammer spring in the kit and keep the factory trigger return spring? Will that effect reliability at all? I assume this will still reduce the trigger pull some amount…correct?
You can use the firing pin spring and hammer spring and not the trigger return spring but you will not receive the full impact of the trigger pull.
We do recommend using all of them because we designed the kit as a whole to work together.
What is the stock poundage rate of the firing pin, hammer and trigger return springs rated at?
November 11, 2022 10:12 AM
The stock trigger is about 7 pounds.
Does this spring kit also work with the LCP II?
This kit is for the LCP Max. The LCP II kit can be found here: https://www.mcarbo.com/ruger-lcp-2-trigger-spring-kit.aspx
