22LR Ruger LCP II Part 3 - Reliability and Magazine Disengagements

Accidental mag disengagements turned increasingly common.

MCARBO offers a stiffer magazine release spring.

Installation of the mag button spring requires removing the FCU.

With the LCP’s FCU disassembled, it was a good opportunity to remove the magazine disconnector so the little pistol can fire without a mag inserted (or while a mag is disengaged)

However, had I known before purchasing the extra cost and hardship of upgrading the LCP, I would have chosen a 22 caliber LCR or a S&W 43c or a NAA mini revolver. Or waited for a Keltec P10.
