Fireant Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I'm thinking about a new hammer, sear, & sear spring. Dawson has a package with the Koenig hammer, cylinder & slide sear. and some springs. Does anybody have any pros or cons about this. By the way my gun is doubling and trippling right now.

Sixgun Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I put this package into my STI. I did this after the hammer and sear I had in it wore out. It dropped in and fit like a glove. I did all the standard safety checks and everything was OK. Dave will ask you what kind of gun it's for, and he will make sure it fits. The only thing I had to do was tune the sear spring. I ended up with a 2 lb. 9 oz. trigger pull. I'd buy that kit again in a heartbeat. Ray C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyFL Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Fireant, I ordered it last week, when I didn't get it I called them and they said they were out of hammers and were waiting to get some in. That's the last I heard. I was wondering if you ordered it yet and if they gave you any indication of time frame. I've been having the same problems you are having.

Fireant Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Smitty, No, I have not ordered it yet. I was going to try to today. I hope they have them in real soon since I want to fix my STI before the Open in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.J. Norris Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Fireant, One of my friends can drop an Ed Brown hammer and sear in a gun with a SV sear spring and get a 1.5 lb pull with no problem. I've seen some of Dawson's trigger work fail after about 300 rounds. If you a fairly good local smith you should be ok, its not that hard to do a trigger job.

Brazos Custom Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Until something goes wrong and you have no earthly idea what because you have been dropping in parts and have no idea why they work or don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Smitty, I called Dawson today and they are expecting the hammers in this week and should ship Friday or Monday at the latest. I happen to be in an area that does not have a good local smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Yeah, I ordered it on the 13th or 14th w/ overnight shipping. I called them this morning, they still don't have the hammers and don't know when they are getting them. I'm about to give up, I think I can order all the same stuff from brownells.

Rufus The Bum Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 For what it's worth, I tried to order a Koenig hammer from Brownells as well and they were also also out. So there might be a backlog at the factory. The problem might not be Dawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcschwenke Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I pieced together basically the same set up on my 38 super long slide. With out a light hammer spring or mainspring I've got a 2lb trigger. The Koenig hammer works well with the C&S light weight sear. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openmike Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I just installed a C&S Ultra Lite kit into my STI TruBore. (Hammer, sear, disconnector, sear spring, and main spring). Dropped in perfect. Minor tweaking, 1#12oz. Runs perfect. Brownells had it in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
