Trigger Pull Weight

Well I went ahead and bought the Koenig hammer, egw sear and infinity Tri-Glide sear spring for my open gun and installed it tonight. The only problem is its really light. I put in a heavier hammer spring and it brought it up to 1 3/4 lbs. This is really light to what I'm used too. I'll see how it goes tomorrow. I had a new limited gun put togther by my smith and had those components installed. Figured I might as well have the same setup in both guns.

I have a question about the sear spring. The SV Triglide is a lightened spring so when you bend it to apply more pressure to the sear it doesn't really add that much weight to the trigger pull. I was curious what everyone else uses. I put the original sear spring in at first and the pull weight was 3 1/4 lbs. I'll I did was switch sear springs and it dropped to 1 1/2 lbs. That seem to light for me so I put in a heavier hammer spring and bent the arm for the sear a bit. The pull went up to 1 3/4lbs then.

I'll see how it feels tomorrow.

If it holds up, I don't see a problem? :huh: I'd love to trade you some stock parts for yours that I guarantee will result in a heavier trigger pull. :)

Well just go back from the range. The triggers were awesome. Neither the limited gun or the open gun had any issues. I still didn't feel comfortable shooting that light of a trigger. I came home and adjusted the sear spring some more. One trigger came in at 2lbs 4ozs and the other came in just a little bit heavier at 2lbs 5ozs. Nice crisp triggers.

Enjoy, be happy, have fun, count your blessings. This is not a carry gun, is it? You'll get used to the trigger. Otherwise, don't bite the hand that feeds you. :D You wanted a lighter trigger pull didn't you? Also by putting in the Koenig "light" hammer and "heavier" hammer spring you further improved your lock timing. What is that you said: "The triggers were awesome. Neither the limited gun or the open gun had any issues". You are not complaining, are you? <_<:wacko::wub:

The triggers are great, I just didn't want a sub 2lb trigger, not yet anyways. The heavier hammer spring was put in with in intention to get a little heavier trigger pull but I knew the secondary effect would be a faster lock time from your other thread. I also don't have to worry about light hits(though I never had one last yr with the 15lb hammer spring but I was using a heavier hammer) with a heavier spring and a lighter hammer, I picked that from your post on the other thread too.

Be carful bending that SVI sear spring. The metal make up seems to make them a little more prone to breakage, and they are not giving the things away. Is it just me or will a lighter trigger hold up longer in an open gun? I suppose the comp will make a difference, taming the recoil.

I have heard that before about the springs. I just put a slight bend in them. I didn't adjust them that much. I have read where they will break if a large bend is tried or repeated adjusting back and forth, and yes they are not cheap, at $20 a pop its best to take it easy on them.
