Can the LCP trigger pull be modified to make it lighter? My wife can not make the gun fire because the trigger pull is too heavy. :roll:
The trigger pull isn't heavy, but it is long. Let her try staging the pull. Pull it back till the visible hammer is just below the line between the slide and the frame. Rest in that position a bit and then a gentle pull and it will release the hammer. Let her try this while dry firing at first. I think she will get used to it. I didn't like it at first either. I decided to sell the LCP but kept trying until I got used to it. Its not a problem anymore and I've made it my deep conceal gun.Ray Schueler said:Can the LCP trigger pull be modified to make it lighter?

This from 7 yards.

The pad is what you are supposed to use to pull the trigger....
zebrajeb said:Wingman has a good suggestion. My wife liked the LCP but her arthritis has reached a point where she just can't close her finger enough for the long trigger pull! The LCP has one of the longest trigger pulls I've seen. My wife is now looking for another pistol. She used the Glock 26 without problems but wanted something smaller to carry.

Only solution I can think of is to take her to the LGS and have her check out a Taurus TCP, they have much lighter triggers, trigger wise they're the best of the bunch in the small 380s.
