Great upgrade
This was a great upgrade and fairly easy install thanks to video. Already had it taken apart while performing trigger install.
Spring kit for LCP Max.
My pistol went from almost a 7 lb. trigger pull to 4 1/2 with a smooth take up and minimal reset, or as little as an LCP can get. I used the 12 lb. hammer spring after reading about light strike issues with the 10 plus a 2 1/2 lb. trigger is too lite for pocket carry. Overall I couldn’t be happier with the setup.
Must have for LCP Max owners
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
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.
Total Game Changer
All of the upgrades M-Carbo makes for the LCP Max are worth every penny and then some - there is simply no comparison between a factory LCP Max and one which has been M-Carbonated. If you’re on the fence, just do it.
As others have said, I suggest using the 12lb hammer spring. The 10lb spring makes for a lighter a trigger pull than I like to have for a pocket pistol, and rarely caused a light strike (only on loads with particularly hard primers - the majority of loads I tested worked 100% of the time). The 12lb spring is right on the money - smooth every time and no issues, ever. Another great set of offerings from M-Carbo.
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.
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!!!
Update: Installed the trigger, return spring, guide rod and trigger spring kit . Took trigger pull from 6lb 5 oz down to 4lb 6 oz. Adjusteable take-up of trigger is awesome! THX!!!!

Can I answer my own question? New pistol arrived, appears to have the same action as regular LCP max. Will follow up when trigger and springs arrive! Peace out!

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
