mshotwell Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I've been change a few things on my 6 in 2011 40cal. I have a pretty standered sear spring in it now. I was wonder which one you guys prefer. Looking for about 1.75 to 2 LB pull. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hello: My current favourite one is the Dawson. I have used Ed Brown, Nowlin, EGW and STI. They all work well but some need more tweaking than others. I am sure others will let you know what they like best. The sear and hammer have alot to do with trigger pull also. Start with good parts that will hold up and learn how they interact with each other. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 +1 on what Eric said, you need to use good components, SV tri-glide system is great the titanium sear spring is excellent. EGW components for hammer and sear, or sti S7 sears are excellent quality, I have used the cylinder and slide sear springs with good long lasting results.

mshotwell Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have an EGW hammer, sear, disco, SV trigger, TI spur and cap. I'm good to go. Just want to see what everybody else is using for their sear spring. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNsTeR Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Colt. Or rather, who knows who makes it, it's the one with the thinned left and center legs that lots of vendors sell. I've had two SV titanium sear springs and they were both crap. On one of them the lower tab was curved, rather than angled 90 degrees, so it didn't even fit in the frame. Tried to bend it and it snapped. On the second one the little tab on the left leg had the same problem, curved not angled, and again it broke when I tried to bend it. I frankly don't know how they have the gall to sell the damn things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassochist Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 i use, the extreme lite speed kit in all my guns, i love it, with a standart ( a little tweaked) sti searspring. soon i will try the cylinder & slide searspring (if i can get them to holland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I put an SV titanium in the gun 10 years ago and I hate to even say it, but its still going strong, set at about 1.75lb let off. I had a spare steel leaf spring handy so got my gunsmith to do me a spare trigger group just in case, he couldn't replicate the feel of the titanium, but thankfully I haven't needed to change any parts out yet.

I frankly don't know how they have the gall to sell the damn things. Never had an issue with the Ti SV spring, have not touched it in 5K rounds or more. Ti does not bend well it is brittle but will hold it shape, also it is designed wider for the 2011 so it does not move around in the backstrap slot.

bassochist Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 @ bassochist, why specific C&S? gr T because of the good reviews, and it's the only one i can't buy in holland, so i want it. i just want to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
