When I watched the YouTube video of this gentleman installing this pin I was excited to get it in the mail. When it arrived it was not like the one in the video. The pin that he showed had a flathead slot in it so that when you put it in you turn it clockwise to lock the pin in place. But other than that it did fit like a dream
What a great upgrade from the factory pin. Easy to install thanks for the step by step video. However, kept the factory spring in as the carbon steel pin did not go in well and wouldn't allow for the takedown pin to be installed back.
Definitely a great addition to a primary carry weapon. I have a friend who sheared his factory pin while shooting so that made me look for other options. Install was a little tricky but, the instruction video was fantastic. The reason that the part has a slotted head is so you can rotate it and allow the spring end to fit into the slot on the pin. You have to rotate it to get the pin out. There is no way that this pin will "walk" out if the spring is in the slot.
The part I received is different than the one shown in the video below. I wont be installing this because I don't have the tools. And spending another $30.00 for punch set and gun block is more than I want to spend right now. Also it will be costly to go to a gunsmith, as the wait for them is like 6 weeks because of current demand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa0fESfJ9SU
Purchased for a new LCP. It is a nice looking pin and slides in easily, but will not come out of the firearm. I think the diameter is fine, but I think the new radius for the detent is the culprit and or the coating on the detent, Regardless, I had to pry it out with a flat blade screw driver and marring the slide. I have the factory retention spring in so perhaps its my error and I was supposed to use another. I have these for other models and they're fine also.
I purchased the Ruger LCP 380 and when I first shot it at the range I found the trigger pull to be very hard, and was having regrets buying the gun. Did some researching and found M-Carbo and their kits. Ordered in the trigger spring kit and steel guide rod and did the install my self. ( watch the video very help full). Another note the video is for the LCP 2, I found the LCP was a little different but close enough the still do the install my self. After the install, next day took it to the range and put some rounds though it.. sooooooo much better. I actually like the gun now. Thanks M-Carbo good job.
This fits the New LCP max 380 as well I measured it weighed it and checked the diameter with a micrometer specs are identical to the original pin on the LCP II and the new LCP max original pin FYI
Making a great pistol even better was a no brainer and easy as pie. It also helped me become familiar with the take down process. Your video was a big help. I strongly recommend it to new LCP II owners. Notice the small dot on the Pin Face. It should be down, after rotating it. Thanks for a great product. I also installed a new Stainless Guide Rod at the same time.
Easy to install. Works as advertised.
I did a complete M Carbo spring upgrade on my Gen 1 LCP. Installation was a snap once the pistol was disassembled. EASY install. Little stiff on re installing the pin, put it eventually locked in. Inexpensive, practical upgrade
