Sigurd Trigger Install LCP Max Step-by-Step

[@The_Murmanator]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this step-by-step video. Galloway’s video was much too fast with not enough explanation of what he was doing. After watching your video, the trigger swap took me exactly 15 minutes from start to finish.

[@ocdmachine]

Glad it was helpful!

[@D0ubleSwipe]

10x better than the Sigurd video

[@Mike-cu6gk]

Thank you for the video. I wasn’t going to buy it because their video was very difficult to keep track of but now you sold me on it.

[@andrewcarol1288]

I just finished swapping out my trigger using this video as a tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you!

[@melvinmellyway9118]

Thank god the video Galloway dropped the dude moves incredibly fast and doesn’t explain much of any of it. Thank god for this one

[@ericmackay2514]

Thanks. Perfect step by step. Much appreciated!

[@bllefkay]

Picking up my first Ruger tomorrow, the LCP MAX. Ready to modify internals with Gallway’s turn key kit once I shoot a 100 rounds through it in stock form. I sure the stock trigger is adequate for 7 yards and in but what fun is that since I practice/train at 15, lol. Anyway, thanks for the detailed video!

[@adrianlouviere7650]

Super job. you answered many questions for the new gunsmithing crowd.

[@paulkuzia9236]

Nice follow up to the Galloway video, much clearer instruction. I did my installation off the Galloway video about a week ago and found that the safety bar (dingus) doesn’t protrude as far forward as yours or any other video I’ve seen. The gun passes the function checks but I think I’ll take it apart and try again.

[@ocdmachine]

I wish I had taken a photo of the Sigurd trigger before installing since it did seem to protrude further out than the stock and I can't tell looking at their website if mine is normal or perhaps the inner trigger spring is causing it to seem that way? Passed function tests fine and I did run about 3 mags through it at the range with no issues. I'll contact Galloway and maybe even send mine back just to be sure. Easy enough install once you've done it so I'd rather be SAFE than SORRY! Appreciate your feedback.

[@paulkuzia9236]

@@ocdmachine I contacted Galloway to inquire if they have changed the shape of the safety trigger. They confirmed that they have made changes based on customer feedback. In the newest design the safety trigger doesn’t protrude as far forward at the tip of the actual trigger & there is no bump where the safety trigger meets the chassis of the gun.

[@robertlipsey6056]

@@paulkuzia9236 I just put my trigger in today. My trigger safety doesn’t stick out very far either but it does what it’s supposed to do so it should be fine.

I have just managed to install my trigger watching your video, thanks a million!

[@darellmoffatt4034]

Great Help! Thanks! Headlamp made seeing what I was doing a lot easier.

[@0x0404]

Very nice. I had to use a twist tie to get that grip spring back in place since I got the trigger before the pick

[@sammyprestwood3182]

You did a great job on this video i will use your video when i install the trigger on ny lcp max because you were more understanding and not just showing off Like the guy On the Galloway video.

[@carrow2250]

Thanks for making this tutorial video nice and slow for us.

[@nebaldeby5369]

Thank you for the detailed instructions. The Galloway video is horrible

[@J.Wick.]

The trigger dingus will fall out eventually. Installed this last year. Told them about the issue, they sent me a new dingus, but I've never cared enough to go thru all this again to install it. It does improve the massive pre travel quite a bit. Overall though, I wish I had just left the OEM trigger in this particular gun. An Apex, this is not. Liked the video however, this would've been helpful last year. The Galloway video got me thru it, but it's definitely in a hurry. Not my first trigger install by far. But definitely my first of this unique type.

[@adrianlouviere7650]

I have the same exact story. After three installs I went back to the factory trigger. Love my MAX.

[@J.Wick.]

@@adrianlouviere7650 Yeah...Id like to return to stock as well. Maybe one day ill find a valium in order to attempt again ;) not my favorite trigger job I've done at all.

[@Optimization_Coach]

Nice job. I l prefer the M Carbo trigger overall, but thanks for the video.

[@randyriddle9956]

Mr.Mike thanks for this well put together video. I had too do it twice as first time didn’t have spring right and had too go back and 2 ns time got it right!! Also getting spring on little rod in mag well was more difficult in that I only had needle nose players and not hooky gadget. Now all is to do is test it out. Thanks again!!

[@randyriddle9956]

Also I might add that I’ve only been shooting for a little over a year I’m kinda late to the game but I liked the challenge.

[@wsfree1]

@@randyriddle9956 same here. Had spring in wrong orientation first time around.

[@cingram8939]

Definately nice Mike,,and the other guys video was nice too he did as you stated have some quick or what seemed to be sped up and not too much explaining why he spent time with the trigger pin and spring u nailed it because you simply explained that all he was doing was literally lining it all up ,,i did notice he literally tapped it in as if he needed to but you didnt,,you literally jus placed it back in place,,perhaps with a lil force with the needle nose pliars you used,,,,but i got it now,,,you nailed it with this video step by step with full explination not leaving room for misunderstanding,,,very thorough,,, thanks im now on your subscribed list because im soon to add the galloway to mine as well.Super Thanks!!!. By the way how much of a actual diffrence is noticed that you can tell ??? Called galloway short stroke because factory trigger has what feels like a mile and a half travel befor it reaches the release wall basically by just visual it appears its a simple fix by galloway ,,reduced travel by design of the short stroke,,,other words all that makes it a short stroke is by the what i call the wall catch on their triggers and the position of the trigger pin and spring location which has the trigger when set in repositions the trigger and what i call the wall catch or nudge on their triggers is positioned diffrently which again in its design allows their triggers to be positioned furter back towards the wall not far out,,lol sorry but thats how ive figured it,lol is that a pretty good explination? Lol there is another video on youtube where a quy has done a hack on the factory trigger simply by adding a screw through the back trigger spring and filing off the top part of safety latch,,did u see that? ;,very thorough video thanks will use your video when installing mine...

[@ocdmachine]

Wow thanks for the kind words. I’m not gunsmith but not afraid to tackle minor upgrades. I have all 3 of the LCP .380’s, really like Ruger firearms. Great little pocket handguns.

[@johngeyser3086]

Excellent video!

[@phxamigo]

Excellent video!, Galloway's videos are always too fast, just because they have disassembled firearms hundreds of times, does not mean everyone else has, that's why we're obviously watching the video.

[@scottcannon2242]

What about the slide release?

[@blackmagic8115]

Great video! Why are ALL of the “gun mats” dark? I know that a white one may get stained, but it would still be easier to work on….

[@codygoldade3984]

Would be great if you could test the mcarbo one and the springs they have as well. Long shot but that would be awesome I did heart it’s better. Will probably keep mine stock idk

[@ocdmachine]

I did look at their offering too, just nervous changing out springs from stock. My only complaint with the pistol was the trigger “bite” after just a few mags shot. Someone posted on the Ruger forum that this trigger took care of that and in fact it did for me. Galloway was good enough to send me another trigger when I mention how much the inner trigger (safety bar) stuck out from the stock. Just have not had a change to change out but speaks well of Galloway to address my concern and send a replacement part under warranty. That’s pretty good customer service.

[@Suzette913]

Wow ! You did a great job showing how to change the trigger. My question is, where did you find the exploded view pdf for the LCP Max? The only diagram I found was from the Ruger website for owner's manuals, but it's low resolution. Would you please post the link to the high-resolution exploded view pdf? Thanks for doing such a great job! The video that the manufacturer made is awful

[@markcdeyoung3118]

My lcp ll won't dry fire until you have the magazine mounted in other words if you cock it without the magazine and pull the trigger it won't pop but when you insert the magazine in it then it will pop no bullet chambered

[@501dennis]

Great video, did it change the trigger pull weight at all?

[@ocdmachine]

I don’t have a way to test that, seems similar as I didn’t change any springs. I was happy with the way it shot in stock formation, just not the trigger bite.

[@Johan_Pentrose]

Removing the "inner and outer pin" from the stock trigger did not go so well. I used a punch and the same red block you have with a very light hammer.....the stock trigger broke off. Oh well I didn't need it anyway right!

[@Sanwizard1]

Nice job sir! Did it fix the trigger bite problem?

[@ocdmachine]

Yes sure did, of course if you decide to shoot lots of hot .380 you will still feel it but for sure no more blisters.

[@sammyprestwood3182]

Fixing the trigger on this LCP Max's is almost like doing away with a magazine disconnect on a Ruger ec9s both pistols are built almost identical if you can work on one of these roses you can work on the other that's the way these guns are manufactured nothing's changed as fat is the way they are designed

[@leroytwohawks1]

Is there a real reason to take out the original trigger pin before the disassembly? Reason I ask is because the new trigger is fully assembled when it is installed, so I’m just wondering if there is some kind of tension on the original trigger that needs to be released or is it just something they did in the original video, so you did the same thing?

[@ocdmachine]

I’m trying to remember, thinking the safety bar might interfere with disassembly or I just followed their original video steps. Great question though!

[@nebaldeby5369]

I just installed the Sigurd trigger in my LCP Max. It is necessary to take apart the original trigger- remove the pin- so you can access the trigger pivot pin from the bottom to push it out. Not a big deal, use a 1/16 thin punch to remove the safety thingy from the trigger. Good luck, take your time

[@leroytwohawks1]

@@nebaldeby5369 thank you yes, it was pretty easy once I got into it and I did realise why I had to remove the pin. And now it shoots very well much nicer than the original trigger.

[@kellybranham6278]

Piece of trash and a waste of money. The trigger safety pin walked its way out and the gun locked up. Finally got it out of there and replaced with the OEM trigger.

[@ocdmachine]

Ouch sorry to hear that, did you return to Galloway? My understanding is they stand but their products but I have not had any issues. One of the caveats when modifying any stock firearm.
