Help with Ruger LCP reassembly/problem
I have a first generation LCP that I disassembled and when trying to reassemble, the slide would not push all the way back. This was with the hammer pre-cocked and no magazine. When I force it back, the slide pushes down on the stamped piece with the * (trigger guard?) And drops the hammer. At this point the slide goes back and I can reinstall the pin but the hammer will not pre-cock and therefore won't fire. Also, it seems unlikely that it is functioning properly if the stamped piece drops the hammer.
Is my next step to contact Ruger? Any help/advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Did you disassemble the frame or just field strip it? IF frame~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zE-GTMNyHk&t=1s and look closely at 56 min mark on..

Ok, here is the next best thing...
Here you can see the hammer is cocked and the slide hitting the trigger bar (edited, thanks). This can't be right. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That is not a trigger guard, it is the trigger bar.
Pushing down on it should not drop the hammer. Your trigger spring may be out of position. I would detail strip it, inspect and reassemble, or if you are not comfortable doing that - send it to Ruger. The spring needs to be under the trigger bar. It is held there by a very shallow groove in the underside of the bar. Sometimes it will slip out and folks will not notice There are a ton of videos and how to guides out there, many of them from the after market trigger folks. Here is one http://www.rtkstrategic.com/HowToLCP.html Here is a video from Galloway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC_mJvu3Hts Last edited by SkyHawk; 10-15-2017 at 5:51 PM.. |

Thanks SkyHawk and everyone else! Upon further disassembly, the hammer catch spring had somehow come out of the hole on the hammer catch. Put it back, now good to go!
Saved me weeks not having to send to Ruger. Next time I'll proceed to tear further apart. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
