Kevin Kline Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Ive been running his trigger kit in my G17 for several matches now and are really getting used to it. Ive been doing pretty well with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchy Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Just got mine in the mail today. Dropped it in and dry fired. All I can say is, "Dammit, I should have ordered one of these before Steel Challenge." It's scary smooth. I shoot a stock trigger and usually prep the trigger. Now I need to retrain my finger. Feels like an HK P7 trigger. It's an excellent value! Itchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiledviking Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I finally got to shoot my G35 with the Sotelo trigger. I am VERY pleased!!! Well, see how I do at the local Steel match on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberkid Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Did the "Kimberkid Garuntee" have anything to do with your order? ralph teased me the other day about my offer. BTW Ralph is currently out of stock on parts because his supplier is out of stock. He expects more parts soon and will get right to work on them as soon as supplies arrive. I will be in Louisville this weekend at Silver Creek on saturday and sunday and anyone who wants to shoot mine is welcome, and I will gladly take personal info for anyone that wishes to pre order.

Kimberkid Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 BTW, ralph is experimenting with some smily faces cut into pasters and flames for the side of your Glock slide, feel free to attack him with emails on when these will be available.

Kimberkid Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Glad you are yet another satisfied customer. I keep trying to talk Ralph into becoming a full time "glocksmith" but he just laughs at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Dropped Ralph's kit in a 2nd gen G17. Initially, 2lb 2 oz. After 200 rounds and a bunch of dry fire, cleaning and lube with med Slide Glide... 1lb 14oz!!!! The take up is less than a pound. The let off/striker release is very crisp..not the ambiguous feel that some Glocks with a 3.5 lb connector have. 1911 it's not but.... $65 with the connector and 10 minutes!!!! The best deal out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Well I am usually pretty silent on forums in general but I finally broke down and sent for Ralph's kit. After 3 weeks it came and I put it on my Brand new 34.(second one I own now). Pretty good trigger but I think my CGR trigger might be a little better. I am going to send it off to Randy Lee to have him fine tune it with a Ghost trigger bar. I also put on a Heine rear and Dawson front sight. Added a 13lb recoil spring. Put on some Agrip and I am ready to go. Midas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Midas, Which CGR trigger setup do you have? FWIW, I shoot a G34 in Production with a Vanek trigger and a G17 with the RS trigger kit. The two are different: The Vanek is uber smooth (like a good revo trigger) and light. At first, I thought a little ambiguous (very smooth all the way through). The take up and over travel screws could make it shorter but I left them alone. The RS trigger is not quite as light (although the G17 is under 2lb now), it has very light takeup and more of a two stage feel. Ralph will be the first to admit that his is not a Vanek but for $50 I can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock17w Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I just ordered my RS Trigger from Pistol Gear.com. I can't wait to try it out when I get home in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryucasta Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) I actually own two Top Fuel CGR triggers and while I was impressed with them at the time of purchase (2001/2002 timeframe) they have since been relegated to a storage bin.

Kevin Kline Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I actually own two F1 CGR triggers and while I was impressed with them at the time of purchase (2001/2002 timeframe) they have since been relegated to a storage bin. Raul, How does the CGR triggers compare with Ralph's? Difference in feel, break, etc? SRT, You're exactly right, it isnt a Vanek, but for $50, cant beat it! I had the same setup as you (G34 w/ Vanek and G17 w/ RS trigger). I shot that way for about 2 months. I just recently changed the two setups to see what the results are and how it works for me. I switched the Vanek to the G17 and the RS to the G34. I like the feel of the 17 and the balance is perfect for me. I like the gunhandling feel of the 17 when doing draws, presentations, mag changes, transitions. The G34 now feels nose heavy and not as comfortable/fast as the 17 for gunhandling skills. I thought there would be a difference in accuracy and Im sure at 30+ yard distances, there might be, but I picked up my 17 the other day and was hitting plates at 30-35 yards w/ every shot. Now, since putting my RS trigger in the 34, the trigger actually feels better in the 34 than the 17 and Im sure that's because of the difference in parts Glock has. The 34 actually is a little lighter and breaks a little lighter and softer (at the break) than it did in the 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryucasta Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Kevin, What I meant to say was Top Fuel not F1 (Corrected the original Post). Unfortunately I cant compare Ralph's to any of the trigger jobs that I have had done since I've never tried Ralph's trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ok, Thanks Raul. IF you ever get a change to try one of Ralph's, let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 SRT I have the F1. Just got done last weekend shooting the CA state IDPA match. Did not try the New trigger yet in competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision40 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I had to send mine back to Ralph because it simply would not set off primers reliably (fully seated Federal SP) He said he would make it right and is a nice guy to deal with.

Exiledviking Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 The kit is GREAT! Nothing wrong with it and I couldn't be more satisfied. I am selling it because I am getting rid of my Glocks. I am switching over to a 9mm 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision40 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Precision 40,You don't have any of those spooky titanium or other stuff in there do you? Nope, all stock except for the trigger kit. The only other possible thing I can see it being is the striker channel liner. When I had the slide chromed, it might have been left in, if that's the case, there might be some build-up on it (just a wild guess at this point) He told me he was sending a new kit though.

SRT Driver Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hmm, Try this. Clear the pistol. With an empty pistol, no mag etc, pull the trigger but don't reset it. With the trigger still to the rear, shake the pistol front to back. If you hear a clanking sound, that's the striker moving in the channel. If not, there might be some garbage in there or something wrong with the channel liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmcphersn Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 +1 on the channel liner. I got one of Ralph's kits and had the same problem. Turned out the channel liner was damaged in some manner. I replaced the liner and everything is running right again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thanks for the tip guys, I'll keep it in mind. My kit from Ralph has run flawless. I keep going back and forth between his and the Vanek. I really like both. They're just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
