G34 CORDY Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I will be sending my TS into CZ Custom when they get some backordered parts in for my limited build and need to figure out what weight I want the trigger to be? It will get a comp hammer, trigger job with flat trigger. What do you guys recommend for my TS? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billdozer Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 1 1/2-2 lbs, my .40 is heavier than my nine. It's around 3, I need to get it took down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Polishing the sear surfaces and hooks of the stock hammer, in combination with a 13# hammer spring yielded about 1 1/2# trigger pull. I recently switched to the race hammer to see if it could possibly get any better. Before installing the new hammer, I used a felt wheel and automotive polishing compound to put a mirror finish on the hooks and sides where the hammer touches the frame. The weight was not drastically changed, but the overall travel was cut by more than half! The limits of travel created by the pre and over travel are just over one mm at the tip of the trigger. I played with hammer spring weights from 7.5# to 18# and got trigger pulls from 1# 2oz to 1# 10oz. I actually went with the 18# hammer spring because it feels faster and more crisp. The only further modification I might try is cutting the spur off the hammer to reduce mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Gator Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 G34, I have a recommendation: Rather than worry about the weight of your trigger, focus on obtaining a total absence of creep and a complete suddenness in let-off. If you have those characteristics you may find it difficult (if not impossible) to tell the difference between a one-pound trigger and a three-pound trigger. Of course, you will tell the difference of a New York trigger. Bottom line: A crisp trigger is more important than a light trigger...in my opinion. Atlas, I bet you already know this, but reducing the mass only will decrease lock time. It has nothing to do with weight of release. A-G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a crisp and light trigger make it even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd go for around 2# crisp with a strong return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
