MemphisMechanic Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Picked the S-III up (finally!) from my FFL tonight. In checking things over I noticed something. Everything I read on here led me to expect conventional rifling... Not so much. Huh. Well... no cheap improperly-sized bullets for me. Good thing I shoot hitek coated ones from BBI. Did they switch at some point? Edited October 22, 2016 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Factory SA and DA trigger pull weights, for those curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Interesting! Are you planning on documenting the result of each modification? I'd suggest polishing first and measure after each piece. (Which would be a PITA! but would show where biggest gains are located.) I do chuckle at the SA ... I've run DA lower than that. Actually too low for my spastic trigger finger. Lol. Anyway, nice pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 I do want to chronicle what drops the trigger weight, and by how much. Hadn't thought about doing polishing step by step. That sounds like a lot of work. But it also sounds interesting. Dammit. We will see how motivated I get to reassemble and check vs just continuing to dremel everything while it's all out!

bulm540 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) I did pick up another stock 2 in 40 cal. and I dont have a trigger pull gauge but it feels like the DA is about 12 # and SA is about 5 lbs. Tiem to get busy and start polishing . Edited October 22, 2016 by bulm540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billthemarine2862 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Congrats on your new S3! I look forward to reading about how the various mods and upgrades improve the action. I read here somewhere that the S3 didn't come with the poly barrel. I thought it was odd. Mine was advertised as having the poly rifles barrel. It clearly is rifled the way yours is. I can't say exactly when they changed it to the poly barrel. I figured all the elite series came with it. Perhaps when they updated the grips to the new ones?

nomore606 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 My stock 3 is poly rifled as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
