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

I have a new LCP Max 75th Anniversary Edition (stainless slide). Initially, before any upgrades, I put 100 rounds of mixed ammo (FMJRN, FMJFN, Sig Elite 90gr JHP & Underwood 68gr XD) through it and the gun performed flawlessly. Recoil was a bit snappy, as expected, but entirely manageable. I decided to add the Galloway 13lb outer recoil spring and stainless guide rod. Took it to the range and put another 50 rounds (mixed) and the gun again performed without issues. The heavier recoil spring did make a noticeable difference in recoil. Still know I'm shooting a micro lightweight pistol, but double-taps were quicker since muzzle rise is reduced. The stainless guide rod also looks good with the stainless slide. These upgrades are definitely worth considering and make a fine pistol even better.

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.
