Default .380 Bodyguard Trigger Upgrade

I really like my .380 BG, but the trigger is a bit rough, and the trigger and my finger are not a good match. Shooting more than 3-4 magazines is kinda uncomfortable.

Is there a trigger upgrade kit out there?

Many. But I can only speak to the Galloway Precision ($99.00). I installed an earlier one in my BG 380. The gun still has a heavy pull, but it is much shorter than the original. (Less pain.)
I will be interested in reports on some of the others.

Thanks for the replies.

I can see comments both ways for either, but that's not unusual. I'll take a pass at the Galloway first. Looking at a few "you Tubes", some of the problems might be Bubba's with inadequate tools and techniques. Not everyone should take on their own trigger job

I should add.... Was the improvement worth the $99?

In my opinion, it helped, but not $99 worth. It also makes the gun harder to sell if I want to recoup any of the investment.
My next fix will be to go in and polish all of the moving parts and see if that does anything.
