ngodwetrust21 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I absolutely love these things! Sub 3lb trigger and they are not even broken in yet. This is what I have done: Taylor Freelance brass backstrap, 29 Newton striker spring from Sprinco, competition trigger return spring from Sprinco that I stretch out a little to lighten it up, competition firing pin safety plunger from Sprinco, Pro style trigger from Freedomsmith, and a Wolff steel guide rod for Glock with a 15lb spring. Gun also has all polished parts and 60/90 grit silicone carbide on the trigger guard / left side of frame. Gun comes in at 29.60oz with all the stuff and no magazine. Love these guns and they are super fun to work on and even more fun to shoot. This is definitely an upgrade from the SFx and looks absolutely sick!!! I think Canik has come far enough they deserve their own section in the factory pistol section on Enos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No filing on the trigger itself, but yes on the trigger safety. For every Freedomsmith trigger I have had for both the SFx and the Rival, I had to file the trigger safety about halfway from what sticks out from the trigger. If I didn’t, it seemed like it would always get hung up on the frame before the trigger safety was fully depressed. This problem is even more noticeable as you decrease the pull weight on the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you push the outside of the trigger to test it, is there a lot of material still on the safety that hit's the frame or is there just barely enough ?

Still enough there that your are not getting any resistance from anything else other than the trigger spring until the trigger safety is depressed.

pcar157 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I love the Taylor Freelance stuff as well. However, I prefer the texture of the LOK brass backstrap as opposed to the TF one. Much better grip IMHO. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus this TF texture is much improved from their first gen backstrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcar157 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yes Sir, correct I wrote to LOK. They confirmed they have not made a brass backstrap for the METE/Rival models and no idea when they might have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoR Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 @ngodwetrust21 My 129 PF reloads are not working reliably with the Rival's factory guide rod/wpring. So I'm looking for a replacement guide rod for the Rival. You mention using the Wolff guide rod and springs. Which Glock model has a compatible guide rod that works with the Rival? Is it the Glock 34 Gen 3? Did you have to make any modifications to the guide rod or use a washer spacer with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
