This is a LCP Gen2 (not LCP II). A few days ago I let someone try shooting it, fully loaded 6+1 with American Eagle 95gr FMJ, and hot.
The chambered round fired, the slide cycled and went back into battery, but the trigger would not pull again, even with more than usual force. After a few tries I put it away.
Back home it was stripped, cleaned, lubed, and tested with three snap caps in a mag several times. Rack the slide, dry fire, rack the slide, dry fire, rack the slide, etc. It worked just fine. It was much harder than usual to remove the takedown pin, and during the cleaning/lubing there was a lot of surface rust on the patches.
I'm baffled as to what could block the trigger from being pulled.
The last time I shot it was in June. This is my "sweat gun," the one I carry while doing yard work. During July and August it gets hot and humid, and the LCP is carried AIWB in a kydex holster. After such days, the LCP got the exterior wiped down and light coat of CLP.
I found this video and tried to learn what could cause that problem, but wanted to ask here in case someone knows or has had a similar experience.
