lynn jones Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 are you talking about the tri-glide system? if so, i say do it. i use the system in all my guns. i also put a doug keoing hammer in the gun to make an outstanding trigger pull. dvc ya, lynn jones L-843 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Law Dawg Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 Yes, it is the tri glide and I also have a friend that has the same combo you do, with the tri glide trigger and the Doug Koenig hammer.She says that the hammer trigger combo has actually helped her trigger control due to the light hammer. I guess that I just want some reasurance that I just wont be throwing my money away, but all I've heard is positive feed back, so I might jump into it.

Ross Chevalier Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hello all, I strongly advocate the SV Tri-Glide trigger system. I use them in any gun that will take them. The interchangeable faces are very useful as they really allow you to "fit" the gun to your hand. On my SV Limited guns I use the straight face, on the STI open gun I use the Enos face - subtle differences to be sure. The only note I would advise is the use of a high quality trigger prep on the bearing surfaces. For lack of a better alternative and insufficient knowledge I use the STI Trigger Slick product. Use of a ball bearing fitted TriGlide without this or similar product will over time create wear on the opposing parts. The gentleman who worked on my guns in the past preferred to use BreakFree, but I did not find it suitable with the TriGlide. Perhaps one of the more knowledgeable contributors could recommend alternatives to Trigger Slick if necessary. Also if you elect to fit the trigger system yourself, be sure that the bow does not bind in the track, and that the shoe itself slides cleanly. Some of the trigger sets require fitting to move easily. Lynn, would you elaborate a bit more on the Koenig hammer? Why do you prefer it? I use SV products today, but have spoken to others who advocate the Cylinder and Slide warp speed kit. Thanks, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn jones Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 hey ross, the reason i like the keoing hammer is that it takes no modification, just dop it in the gun. it is skeltionized, ( reduced mass ) made of stainless steel. the reduced mass make the trigger pull feel lighter. although the hammer is expensive, i like it. i don't hawk any thing that doesn't work for me. good luck. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Chevalier Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Lynn, Thanks a lot, I will look into the Koenig hammer Cheers, R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I'm the same as well - the reason I sell the SVI hammer and trigger and sear on be.com is because it's great stuff. And the two (the sear face and hammer hook) are engineered to work perfectly together. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris40 Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Brian do you sell the SVI trigger I can not find it or where would be a good place to get it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Zee Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Does this system only work in S_V guns or do they work on other 1911 clones ie caspians etc. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Merricks Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Kath, Dawson sells them and I think Brownells sells them too. OK EGW (Edited by Jon Merricks at 10:46 pm on Feb. 5, 2003) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Grrl Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Holy cow - that hammer is DAMNED expensive! Anybody care to get technical on why I should spend that much for a damned hammer? Then ya add in the new trigger system and face - aiyaaaaa. But on the plus side - the blaster is getting fixed for Valentine's Day. I'm such a romantic ;0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Koenig Premium Match Low Mass- 9g Koenig Standard Low Mass- 14g Nowlin Speed Demon- 13g C&S Ultra Light- 11.1g C&S Super Match- 13.4g C&S Tactical Match- 14.7g C&S Tactical II- 14g C&S Warp Speed- 9.9g Lighter hammer, faster lock time... at least that's the theory. I haven't had any experience with it, but it makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehli Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Wow, pretty spiffy, BE. I got those weights from Brownell's catalog. Any idea what the other SV hammers weigh (the standard one is what I'm most curious about)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
