Ruger LCP-Custom

I am really leaning towards ordering the LCP custom due to the improved trigger and sights but have a few questions.

Does anyone know of any true night sights that can be placed on it?

Also what holster options are people looking into for it that don't snag?

And lastly, ive heard great things about the galloway precision trigger, how does it compare to the lcp custom trigger? if it is better can it still be put into the lcp custom to give the over travel and pretravel adjustments?

Thanks everyone!
 
I guess I am wondering where you would be needing night sights for a gun typically used at 7-10 yards.

What did they do to the custom trigger that makes it a great improvement over the standard? While not a 1911 trigger, it really isn't too bad.
 
The LCP, even the standard. version, is perfect as is. No need for "guessing up" a pocket pistol. It's not a target gun, or a LE/Military weapon that might be called into somewhat long range use. If you think you need special sights, and slick triggers you might want to consider a different platform than a mouse gun.
If you return to reality, and realize the capabilities of a pocket pistol, the DeSantis Nemesis is a good holster choice.

FITASC - I cant imagine I would ever need them other than just the consistency with other guns and any advantage I could have of getting shots on target with such a small gun is well worth the added cost.

Also the trigger is a metal trigger not the plastic one, Galloway precision has an upgrade to the standard plastic that is often used and allows for a smoother shorter trigger with pretravel and overtravel adjustments.

Cheapshooter - You only helped to answer one of my questions and I am thankful for that. But your input on how someone should use their gun is not needed or helpful at all. I know exactly what the gun is designed for and its capabilities. I enjoy tinkering and something that small is hard to shoot as is, if its worth buying and carrying its worth training with and I want to be able to customize my firearm to my liking so that I will train with it. I have plenty of other options to enjoy shooting at distance. The upgrades I have asked about are not expensive but would be worth while in my opinion for me to enjoy the gun more and possibly shoot it better. Any advantage I can find to allow me to shoot a snappy 380 with little to hold on to I will take.

So with that I would truly value your input if you knew something about my questions and answered them. But implying that I should return to reality is not helpful or necessary.
 
The one and only modification, if you can call it that, on my Elsie Pea is the addition of a Hogue Handall grip sleve.

Not as something to remediate the so called "snappy" recoil that I have personally have never noticed. But to just add a bit of bulk to the grip without adversly effecting concealability.
As for sights, my "training", lo g before the LCP, is instinct poi t and shooting. At the reasonable distance of ten yards I can repeatedly put three rapid rounds into center mass on a B27 target. When doing so I don't even notice the sights because for me the LCP points so naturally it just like poi ting my finger at where I want to hit.
 
Cheapshooter - I'm glad that works well for you, doesn't mean the same will be the case for others. It also doesn't invalidate my reasoning for the modifications I am asking about.
 
Well, after 50+ years of "tinkering" with my guns, I have discovered it's a lot less important with most guns now than it was when I began.
Seems the design engineers have gotten a lot smarter in the last twenty years.:D

As for night sights I don't think any are available yet. For holsters with my custom I have a Desantis Nemesis. I found if I really shoved the gun in the holster the rear sight could get hung up a bit. The holster is open on the muzzle end so I had it sewn shut so now the gun doesn't go in quite as far. Works like a charm.
