R1valdez Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks guys. I guess I'll just keep them as spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 i havent measured the two but some say the tanfo spring is softer than the CGW one. I had the same experience, swapped to the CGW light trigger return spring, and the average pull weight went up an ounce or two... One other thing I have heard was that the factory CZ sear springs are lighter than the stock Tanfo part. I got a CZ part to test, but haven't had the chance to do yet.

Mo Hepworth Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I would not replace the trigger return spring...I would rather it be 100% reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarkey Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Does the CGW reduced TRS makes any difference in pull weight ? I believe it does, both of mine run a CGW TRS. One has roughtly 2k live rounds and probably 8k dry fire double action pulls without any problems. The other has roughly 500rds through it and seems to be working with no issues. If you do not keep your gun lubbed and let it get really dry then maybe the TRS may not reset your trigger all the way. Just keep it lubbed and it works great.

vixty Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 i havent measured the two but some say the tanfo spring is softer than the CGW one. I found no appreciable difference. So I thermally relieved a trs and took nearly a pound off the trigger! Yea! Except.... The sear spring was able to hold the trigger from returning. So about every 2nd or 3rd round the trigger needed to be manually pushed forward. Whoops . Factory spring back in. Reliability near 100.000% is more important (to me) than the ultimate light trigger. Do you have a fitted T3 Disco in it? I put a cz sear spring in my stock 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixty Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I Didn't measure the SA before I changed out the spring. I just read about it somewhere and did it when I first got the gun. The CZ spring is for sure lighter because I could tell a difference when I was pushing on the sear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Sweet, I'll have to measure and post trigger weights when I get around to installing mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1valdez Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The cz sear spring got me from 3lb SA pull down to 2 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I had been using the LRA 'light' sear spring, and just had a chance to test out the CZ sear spring last night. Trigger pull weight was nearly the same with both. That said it was certainly lighter than the factory Tanfo offered sear spring. The CZ sear spring is probably a lot easier to get your hands on that the LRA 'light' spring too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I use a CGW CZ firing pin spring as the plunger spring. The Henning ones are heavier than necessary for reliability and the pens springs are the opposite. Hey, I am still trying to chase down the last half lb of my sa trigger pull, got it down to a 3.0lb. I found last night that the take up (first stage) trigger weight seems to be where my extra half lb is coming from. I'm wondering if the plunger spring is my issue. Maybe I'll try this CGW one. Just to confirm, is this the one you are talking about? https://cajungunworks.com/product/rp-fps-reduced-power-firing-pin-spring/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to confirm, is this the one you are talking about? https://cajungunworks.com/product/rp-fps-reduced-power-firing-pin-spring/ Use a trigger pull gauge once you pull the sear cage to get a base weight. Time to deploy the clicky pen spring. The Henning spring set are all way heavier than the clicky pen spring I use. On the other hand you might get a better reset not using the clicky pen spring - I need to go back and test this. Anyone with thoughts/experience here?

johnbu Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I tried clicky springs, found a "stiff" one, but even that gave a mushy indistinct reset. Finally settled on the factory spring wuth 2 coils cut. The minor reduction in weight wasn't worth the loss of reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EngineerEli Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) https://cajungunwork...ing-pin-spring/ WHY AREN'T PEOPLE MAKING A BIGGER DEAL OUT OF THIS PLUNGER SPRING?!?!? Put it in a few nights ago, and it dropped my DA pull almost 5 oz and that is coming from a very heavily cut factory plunger spring! (Only 8.5 coils left and both ends removed to allow as many active coils as possible) My DA is now 5lb 5.5oz. I'm pretty darn happy with that, and the trigger pull pressure feels much more linear. SA is down to 2.5 lb and I think I may be pretty much done messing with the trigger pull on my Stock II. Exiting, but kind of sad...

vixty Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have the original reduced power spring in mine. I wonder if the new style will reduce it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Regardless of the answer to that question, when you're on the clock, would you notice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Reset is crisp enough... I really don't notice a huge click in my SVI on reset with a 2 lb trigger, but it has never been a problem as long as the reset is short enough. Personally I like messing with my triggers. Will it make a difference on the clock? I think the sights move less on my initial DA shot, and it also lightens the first stage of the trigger in SA, which I prefer the feel of. Feels more like my 2011s, so yea I think it could. BTW: If anyone is still using the stock sear spring, get a CZ sear spring when you order the plunger spring from CGW. It is effectively the same thing as the light one LRA sells. I ordered the two parts in two different shipments, and had to pay shipping twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one they sell for the canik works in our Tanfos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah I use the henning plunger springs. My gold team trigger is sub 2lb but with a pen spring mushy as hell. In fact even the henning spring that comes in his trigger lit was too light for my taste. I bought a bunch to play with and went up 2 steps. Still lighter than factory but gives a nice positive reset. Trigger is stil just under 2lb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
