Ratings and Reviews of 13 lb Outer Recoil Spring for Ruger® LCP® MAX Pistols

The first time I used my new LCP Max 75th I had several instances where the slide wouldn’t go completely into battery. I installed this spring and fired both practice and personal defense ammo without a hiccup. A must buy if you own this little Ruger.

Purchased & installed the Sigurd Max Short Trigger, 13lb outer recoil spring, stainless steel guide rod for the LCP Max. Noticeable improvement to trigger take-up and pinch/blister of OEM trigger, upon reassembly. Same immediate difference was noted with the outer recoil spring, when racking the slide. Looking forward to the performance results at the range. ***Must note: the instructional video is indeed too fast and doesn't point out key details of reassembly. Another YouTube install video was needed as a supplement, for myself as a first time gunsmith.

Works well, and fixed the going back into battery issue I was having while the gun was breaking in. It also seems to have damped down the recoil a bit.

Really nice upgrade coupled with the stainless guide rod! One note though. Somehow I missed the memo that this spring must be used with the stock inner spring! Used alone it is a fail. The bag with the spring did not have any instructions

Would do again.

Been there done that and I'm not going back. I also added the Sigurd trigger and the stainless steel guide rod. I took it to the range and the gun was more comfortable, smooooooooother, and quicker to respond. It flawlessly cycled through almost a hundred rounds of five different brands of ammo. The LCP MAX is a great gun that is now even better. It is my pocket carry of choice loaded with Precision One's 90 Grain XTP Hollow Point ammo.
