JD45 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 So, It's been out a while. Anyone have any tips? I see that Vanek has a drop-in that's very expensive. I guess there's 2 choices. One passes for GSSF matches, and the other doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi, my buddy bought a 44 and I measured the trigger pull at 8lbs on a Lyman digital scale. It was horrendous and absolutely no fun to shoot. I ordered and installed the Vanek drop in for him. The trigger is awesome, a little less than 31/2 lbs. and smooth as butter. It is a little pricey, but in our opinion worth every penny, hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks any advice helps. That’s the only bad part about the Vanek. It kinda kills the reasonable cost of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 You could look at it as it makes the gun worth shooting now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 It's surprising though that no one on here has DIY tips. In centerfire Glocks tons of people share what they've tried. I know a rimfire is different and is really prone to light strikes, that's why I asked on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38super Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Think hard primers, I run a 19 lb hammer spring on a 2011 and it is marginal (Nelson upper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Umm, I think you're in the wrong thread. Read the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Cost is kind of the same issue with the new Timney Alpha Competition triggers. But they are getting rave reviews from everyone. If I was a Glock guy I'd be all over it. So I got one for my best friend's birthday instead. He can install it, like it and tell me all about how fantastic it is.

dapribek Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 There’s an entire thread on the Timney trigger if you’re interested, I’ve put my impressions there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38super Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 you need enough firing pin / hammer spring to ignite the round regardless of make/model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) I know, and it's been about figured out by now on the centerfires. But who knows what works on a G44 rimfire? Many people would settle for a cheap spring and connector swap just to reduce that awful 8 plus lb. pull to 4-5. We don't need a 2lb. , $200 kit for plinking.

Jim Watson Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A friend started on his G44 with the standard connector he had left over from the G17 he had installed a Ghost Rocket in. It helped enough to tell, so he is going to get another aftermarket connector for the G44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
