jimbullet Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I have been reading a lot about different competition trigger systems for the P320 x5 legion that reduces the trigger pull but so far I have not seen one that can easily reach the minimum 3 pound pull needed for IPSC production shooting. Has anyone had success on aftermarket parts to get the trigger to 3 pounds but not lower than that? Grayguns seems to be a nice option but the issue is that trigger pull goes down to 2 1/2 pounds which is not production legal. Any help/ input would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I run an Apex straight trigger set and get +/- under 2 kg not trigger pull tested but an agricultural 2 litre bottle of water, will use a trigger pull gauge at some point but I know its above the minimum.

jimbullet Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 I suddenly had a couple of thoughts and not sure if these work: 1. I found a Max Mitchell competition spring set for the p320 which has reduced power springs. Anyone use this and how was the trigger pull weight? 2. The other thought is - I believe there are two sear springs. What happens if I remove one of them, that should reduce the tension enough to reduce the trigger pull weight right? Anyone tried this? Terrydoc, appreciate your inputs earlier. I'm using mine for competition and wanting to get really close the 3 pounds if I can without going lower.

Vizorn Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 You could try adding an ISMI +10% trigger return spring to bring the overall trigger weight back up. https://shop.springerprecision.com/ismi-p320-trigger-return-spring/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 On my P320 compact (carry gun) I used the sear from the GG kit and used the stock trigger return and sear springs. That gave me approximately a 3.5 pound pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your current set up, is there any noticeable creep or is it a crisp break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your other post you mentioned a "1911 trigger break". I think it is pretty good for a striker fired gun but it is not a 1911 trigger by any stretch. I think you'd have to get a gunsmith familiar with 320's to get closer to that. I've heard good things about Robert Burke, AKA "the SIg Armorer", but have no personal experience.

It is a carry gun, not a competition gun. I didn't put it in to lower the trigger pull although it did by about a pound. I have the full GG kit in my competition guns. (X5's). I didn't like the break with the stock sear. It had a glitchy two stage kind of break. I had an extra GG sear so I tried that and it fixed the break. The fact that it ended up at around 3.5 pounds was not intentional; just a by product of the better sear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
