SouthpawG26 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I just swapped my stock trigger spring for a Glockmeister item, and my trigger pull actually noticably increased rather than decreased..... Only other mods to my G26 are a Glock 3.5lb connector and internal polish (from day one, about 2 years ago). I swapped back and forth with the stock trigger spring a few times just to be sure, and the result remains consistent: the GM heavy trigger spring (a 6lb spring or thereabouts) actually increased trigger pull over the stock item (5lb) every time. I'm baffled....... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnfst Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Any increase in the weight of the trigger spring is going to increase the weight of your trigger pull.... How would increasing the pressure on the cruciform to striker engagement decrease trigger pull?? Why would you put a heavier one in unless you want a heavier trigger pull... You would want a RP one for the opposite effect.... The only thing I could think of is with the heavier trigger spring it would not allow the trigger to fully reset and preload the striker spring earlier....

Flexmoney Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I just swapped my stock trigger spring for a Glockmeister item, and my trigger pull actually noticably increased rather than decreased..... Something isn't right then. Are you sure you had a stock spring in there to start with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a trigger spring pulls the cruciform to the rear, a heavier spring should lighten trigger pull. Glockmeister's trigger pull page also shows a slight lowering of TP with their heavy trigger spring, when compared to stock. Wolff also adds a slightly heavier trigger spring to it's competition spring pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 You should get a definite difference with the Glockmeister "trigger return" spring. You should be able to tell just by pulling the trigger, no gauge needed. I wonder if you might have got the two springs mixed up some how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock spring has that characteristic matte, light grey look, just like the stock recoil spring. Just did the swap one last time, still the same outcome......

fishnfst Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 It increases the upwards engagement pressure on the cruciform and striker engagement.. One of the main trigger lightening tricks is to redrill the trigger bar therefore decreasing the engagement force... PUtting a heavier return spring in just increases the force... I use a reduced power return spring in my 2lb trigger job.. With the stock spring it is right around 2.75lbs. With a ny1 trigger spring its over 3lbs..

Yar1180 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I would call them. My Glockmeister competition trigger springs are a dark gray. Much darker than the stock spring which is a light gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the duck of death Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Something's fishy, the GM competition (heavier) spring definitely reduced my trigger pull. Give GM a buzz they are helpful folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yep...give them a call. Sounds like you got a bum spring somehow (1st I've heard of that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
