Maybe the new one does not give you finger pinch

 

Just saw this in the description on the Ruger website:

”LCP® MAX Elite model features an anodized aluminum flat trigger, black nitride coated slide and barrel, electroless nickel Teflon hammer and sear, and stainless steel guide rod”.

The nitride slide and barrel ought to be much more rust resistant than the standard bluing. That alone makes this model worth it in my opinion. Really they should nitride all the LCPs that aren't cerakote.

 

I wonder who makes the trigger?

 

That appears similar Galloway Precision Sigurd trigger available for the LCP Max.

 

I called Davidson’s and was told that they get the entire, finished gun from Ruger - Ruger told me that the trigger is a “different material” but the same shape as the standard LCP Max trigger, and not sold separately. So, why does a trigger with the “same shape” resolve the trigger bite issues?

 

Texas Yankee, I have both the regular and elite LCP Max and while the trigger shape is very similar the biggest difference is the safety tab that’s on the triggers face and overall trigger length. From my own experimenting with both guns - I don’t get the trigger bite on the elite. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s because the point on the safety tab of the regular max is what is actually biting the skin on my finger between it and the inside of the trigger guard when releasing the trigger back to its original reset position. The elite doesn’t have that sharp of a point on its safety (as you can see in the pics) and the trigger overall is longer. Hopefully this helps... Stay safe and be BLESSED!!!
