Upgraded my LCP

I'll be curious how reliable it is after the mods.
Me too.....that was my worry with the reduced power hammer spring, but several forum reviews indicated zero problems with light primer strikes after several hundred rounds fired. Even shooting reloads. I guess we'll see. The way this thing shot before, I would never have shot several hundred rounds through it. Too painful and abnoxious.
Had one of these and tried to love it. It functioned great and completely forgot I had it on me sometimes because it was so small but I always had a nagging feeling that if the SHTF I wanted my 1911 on me instead so I sold it to a buddy who carries it EDC. He loves it.
I am curious how your upgrades improve the gun. Those weren't available when I had mine. Keep us posted.

Got to swing by the range today and try her out. I am very pleased with the modifications. I think she's a keeper now. The trigger has a nice smooth and solid feel. It allows adjustment of the overtravel and a little takeup adjustment, but the lcp is still going to have a good bit of takeup by design. The reduced power hammer spring greatly reduces the trigger pull. I dont have a gauge, so I'm not sure exactly how much it improved, but its obvious. I fired 60 rounds of Georgia Arms reload with no light strikes. The 13lb recoil spring kit made a noticeable difference in felt recoil. The lcp will never have a trigger like a 1911, but it is much more controllable and comfortable than it was before with these mods. I was shooting nice tight groups today, when before, I was lucky to hit the paper. Some guys aren't comfortable with modifying a factory weapon, but I have yet to own a weapon that couldn't be improved with a little polish here, a lighter or heavier spring there, etc. So I'd say, if it's not outside your comfort zone, go for these mods on the LCP. I couldn't be happier with them.

I have one with a stainless BT guide rod and 13 pound wolf spring and it drastically improved performace as well as steadiness. I am curious if you think the trigger spring and new trigger makes a difference.
I read that the SS guide rod was more of a longevity mod than anything. It allowed you to run more rounds through the LCP and it stay reliable since the stock guide rod was so flimsy. IDK, I sold mine after about 150 rounds.
