knedrgr Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's a trade off for a quicker trigger reset. Plus, DA is only the first shot. My carry G19L is 6.5#... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthpawG26 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Perhaps a polish of the firing pin block and the hole it fits in to go...for that last little bit in SA reduction..(polishing hammer sides, pinholes and hammer strut do more for DA than SA, obviously..)

knedrgr Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^ maybe, but I might get the 13# HS and throw it in there for SnG. It should bring the DA down into the 5# range and SA into the 1# range. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmeky Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 knedrgr, On your post #28, yes, with polishing the 13# HS will put your DA there. You will be restricted to Federal primers only. Sounds like you're having as much fun as CGW!! Cool stuff, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're having as much fun as CGW!! Cool stuff, keep it up. Thank you. Always having fun with tinkering with guns. My Federal primers are only large pistol, ATM. I only have 15K of CCI small pistol primers on hand, so I'll have to use those. Maybe the 13# HS will wait. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmeky Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Magz, Just an update for you. We have succeeded in making the OEM P series work like a high performance hammer. We are seeing a competition crisp 3.0# SA. We may offer this as a package if we get sufficient demand from customers as soon as August 2014.

Magsz Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 David, As i said on another forum, im in depending on price (although im sure they will be priced very fairly as with the rest of your items). You sir, are the man and saved me the trouble of cranking out the stones today. I was actually gutting one of my P09's to work on the hammer when i decided to take a break and look at the forums.

knedrgr Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yesterday, I was able to pop the cherry on this gun. Haven't shot it since I'd picked it up from my FFL. First outing was at a local USPSA match in Production. Stock CZ mags were used, and it'd ran like a champ. The DA's pull length was OK, just something for me to get used to. Can't say that I've been doing much dry firing practice with this gun. Haven't had the time lately. And that's not the guns fault. The SA is nice. I'm going to try and get the pull to be a solid 2#, if not, slightly below 2#. And also will try to drop the DA down to 5#-ish range. Maybe the 13# hammer spring will get there. Hope to not get light strike with factory ammo, since I don't have my press set up yet. I was able to swap out the factory front sight for a nice Dawson Precision FO front. And had also blackened out the rear sight for a quick fix of those two dots. Stay tune for more progress with this gun, as i tweak it for next month's match.

Bam Bam Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Have been testing with 8.5# and 12.5# MHS . I have all the CGW Extended FP, and all other CGW parts in the my P09. Also have CGW P07/09 sights. 8.5# MHS does not fire CCI reloads or Factory, Herter's 115gr Nylon Aluminum Case, Silver Bear 145gr HP. 50% firing reliable. 100 rds 12.5# MHS only had one miss fire this weekend with Herter's during match. Had to rack it out. other than that fully functional Have a USPSA match this weekend. Last USPSA match last much the gun ran well with get 5th in 21 shooters in production.

Magsz Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Where did you get a 12.5 lb spring? I am running the extended pin and CGW's spring. No dice with anything but the 13 lb spring which i dont mind. My trigger is buttery smooth and trying to go any lower seems worthless at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knedrgr Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 True to their claim, the CGW reduced trigger spring dropped the pull another 0.5# . With all this talk about not being able to reliably set off factory or CCI primers, I'd threw the 15# HS back in, and swapped in the trigger spring. This will work for better reliability. Until I start to reload with Federal primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Didn't know they had kits to adjust the reset on these. That super long reset was one of the main factors for trading mine. I liked the gun just didn't like shooting it with that super long reset. I might start looking around for a used one again. I still have a bunch of holsters.

knedrgr Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Played with reducing the pre-travel take up on the trigger. My concern was primarily when it's in SA mode. CGW SRT kit with modified trigger for shorter take up. As you can see, roughly .121" or just shy of 1/8" was removed from the pre-travel. Feels so much better.

DRichardson Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Any plans on showing what was done to the trigger to shorten there travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
