I just installed this setup on my Max9. What a difference. The trigger alone is a massive improvement over the factory Ruger trigger. Ruger should have never released thus gun with a trigger tike that. It's junk, in my opinion. The spring kit and polishing take it up even another level. Very smooth with a clean break. Not too light for EDC. Just right. Well done Mcarbo!

[@frankbrowning328]

Another example of MCARBO making good guns even better. An excellent tutorial for installation of both the new trigger and spring kit. However, what is refered to in the video as the "Extractor" is actually the ejector.

[@brianboyle3998]

Thank goodness for this video. Got everything apart OK! Got the trigger in and then it was video time. Great video.

[@El_Sueno_]

Just got this today! Install about 1 hour! Thanks so much!!! Much better now! Smooth!!! I love the new trigger! Install was good because I watched the video a few times! I will be ordering more soon!

[@adrianlouviere7650]

Very nice camera work and instruction. THANKS.

[@B2the4th]

Just ordered the spring kit. I have your spring kits on my LCP Max, 3 of my Gen 5 Glocks and my Mossberg MC2C and it made a huge difference in all of them. Great stuff!

[@michaelboneta2403]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Almost had to send mine out to Ruger as I muffed up the trigger bar reassembly and your video was concise enough to help Mr figure out what I was doing wrong!

[@EBthere]

Excellent video MCARBO. Thank you.

[@Jason_T0203]

I received my new flat triggerr from Galloway yesterday and had the gunsmith install it today along with my new guide rod and spring. Time to test it out. I’m excited.

[@propdoctor21564]

I bought a Max 9 several months ago and also think the factory trigger is the short coming on what is otherwise a excellent pistol. I installed this flat-faced trigger on mine and now I love the gun.

[@danw7156]

You guys are Rock Stars. We’ll organized and thought out training and “how to”. You guys make my job so much easier.

[@allenpapir-jo6yw]

That was a great video you guys really know what you're doing I purchased from you before I can't wait to buy some more stuff from you guys

[@jeffsmeltzer8776]

Great demonstration. I have a Max 9 with 800 trouble free rds. through it yet the trigger is all over the place. Interesting I find that I have owned I believe every .357 mag revolver that Ruger makes and every one has been rock solid with no play in any parts.

[@shannonfritsch6647]

One of the best trigger replacement for max I've watched! I've installed the "other" trigger and watched their video couple times to replace it. You rock dude! Now to order this one and re-due it again. Thank you!

[@bobgaylord8883]

Any reason you didn't lubricate the pivot & sliding points as you reassembled?

[@Chaosmos_1349]

Great video. My 2nd MCARBO trigger Ive purchased for a firearm. Installation was pretty smooth. I only changed the trigger, but now Im thinking about buying the spring kit as well.

[@BranniganCarter]

Gotta get this. The only real gripe I’ve had about the Max 9 is the travel for the trigger.

[@ferguson8143]

Do you have to install the safety back in the trigger when replacing the trigger?

[@nftshiller8485]

great video i will be buying a new trigger i never had a problem with the old trigger but i can see how there could be a problem

[@bobjohnson5218]

Excellent video!!! Disappointed though the low cost of the gun needs a trigger upgrade for about $70. The gun's not such a great deal after all. At least there is an upgrade. Maybe you guys can combine the trigger & spring kits and nock off a couple bucks. If I'm going to pop for the trigger I'll also buy the spring kit.

[@josevela2943]

A combo price and I will jump on it too.

[@shootinnscootin5545]

After only 400 rounds through mine the takedown plate broke and will not allow the takedown pin to be removed, the slide locks open with rounds still in the magazine and the slide doesn't always lock open after yhe last round is fired. I'm very disappointed. I now have to take it back to the dealer and have it sent into Ruger for repairs. I loved the pistol at first but these issues happened after only 2 times of shooting it and only 400 rounds. Please keep this in mind if you are planning to buy one as this seems to be a common issue with the Max-9. Ruger really needs to step up their quality control and make the changes to these pistols to make them safe and reliable.

[@ppgtrikejockey]

You don't have to remove the trigger safety roll pin (ie. disassembling the safety bar) from the trigger to take out the trigger pin. Alternate way of removing the trigger pin: If you take a 1/16 punch or dental pick and reach in the trigger pivot arm hole, you can, with a little pressure, slide the trigger pivot pin up enough to be able to grab the pin with needle nose pliers from the top and will come out. (Just make sure the end of the trigger spring is facing forward so the spring eyelet inside is not impinging on the trigger pin.)

[@2226robin]

At 13:30, to remove the stock trigger had to punch out the “small pin “on the trigger to remove the trigger safety rod and then punch out the trigger pin, the M Carbo trigger does not have the “small pin” so how can I remove the trigger safety rod and trigger pin ?

[@richki.24]

Do you happen to have any trigger work, spring kits for the FNS-40 ??

[@jessieeads4509]

Maxxis short stroke trigger is much more simple and easy😊

[@joemikes8526]

I wonder if the Mcarbo pinches trigger finger like the maxxis trigger does? Maxxis trigger felt great until I shot 3 mags with it. Finger tip didn’t like it.

[@darrinbarnard6797]

Buy the elite pro with the aluminum trigger

[@maxpayz2431]

Not sure if I'll get my answers but from removing the fire control unit, does that mean i can replace the take down plate from my gun? Just a curiosity

[@mikecup212]

Different trigger colors would be even nicer, just a thought.

[@propdoctor21564]

I have no problem with the pull weight of the trigger and really do not like light triggers on these small pistols that may end up in a pocket... I do not like the shape of the trigger or how far the center safety blade sticks out past the main trigger shoe.

[@aaaaa1957]

Can I just send it in to be done? My eyesight and shaky hands might make doing this just too hard.

[@evodiovaldovinos7863]

Does this work for California model

[@B2the4th]

That's a sad question to have to ask. I feel for you brother.

[@bucdan9242]

I ordered one, we might need to remove the mag disconnect. The Galloway trigger requires removal of the mag disconnect for it to work, so it may be the same for the mcarbo. I'll likely order a Galloway recoil spring down the road. Apparently the stock recoil spring is known to break.

[@jesseeads7922]

Why doesn’t MCARBO reply to this question?

[@cacadaca4123]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Only difference with the max 9 for state compliance is the Lci which deals with the slide. Highly doubt ruger would change a trigger design

[@bucdan9242]

@@cacadaca4123 they incorporated a magazine disconnect in the California model. The tolerances on the trigger in Cali models is very loose.

[@El_Sueno_]

Can you replace mine?

[@TheEdog209]

Will this trigger work with the CA legal version?

[@ID1886]

Just need to remove the magazine disconnect

[@garybrown5043]

Will this work with the CA version

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Yes it will. I just put it on mine.

[@andrewcorona6631]

Just finished installing this trigger and i am having an issue where if you place your entire finger on the trigger safety it will not allow you to fully pull do to the shape being more square than round so you tend to pull the actual trigger before the safety which stops the gun from firing. before installing this trigger my gun would fire %100 of the time when squeezed do to the round ness which required the safety to be pulled in first before firing now i would say its a 70/30. This trigger can only be shot with your finger tip and not the first little knuckle crease. I wouldn't recommend! On the other side of things the spring kit feels great!

[@saulpaul7263]

Will it work on the California compliant Max-9?

[@eddee5359]

They say NO on their website

[@saulpaul7263]

@@eddee5359 appreciate it

[@andrewcorona6631]

yes it works

[@sarahollingsworth6613]

Why in the world would Ruger make such a bad decison on the max 9 , by putting a sorry trigger on the gun . Don't they know that's poor quality control . It will definitely slow down the sales on the max 9 . Good Grief Ruger
