Where to find trigger spring lightener kits?
« on: July 24, 2010, 09:58:06 AM »
I recently put in a 3.5 lb trigger pull connector for my new Glock, really helps to lower the heavy factory trigger.  There is a good film on You tube that shows you can install it without having to take the front 2 pins out of the gun, just the 1 rear one using a butter knife and a hex wrench.  Lots of Glock parts out there, Ghost has a connector for the Ruger SR-9, but it involves alot of work to install it, special skills, etc.  

My Ruger SR-9 has an 8 pound pull, according to my Timney trigger scale! >:(  I have only owned the gun for a little over a year and it really hurts my finger to shoot it, I am a large man.  I read that the compact model is lighter in the trigger dept, why don't they make the larger brother the same?  I am thinking of trading it off, shame, as it is accurate and reliable with good ergonomics.  My Ruger P-89 has an acceptable trigger pull, as well as my other pistols.

Thinking of a Smith and Wesson M and P, an FNP-9, and a SIG.  Smiths are known to have a gritty heavy trigger pull (7.8 lb in their .45).  I have checked Brownells, Midway-USA, and other places for after market trigger parts, and barrels, etc. for the above pistols, nothing.  At this point I may get another Glock, and just do Glocks.  Does anyone know of a good source of easy to install trigger parts for the Smith, FN, and SIG?  

Thanks.

Chris
I admire your skills and abilities.
I just take mine to a good Smith and let him sooth and lighten.
It less troble, and often less expense, than trading around.

Here is one source of after market M&P trigger parts. http://www.apextactical.com/

I have an M&P.40 and the stock trigger on it is far better (less gritty/crunchy) than any Glock I have ever handled.  From what I have red the trigger parts from the above outfit are excellent.
