Gmchenry--are you the grinch that is trying to steal Christmas? Can you tell me the last day in your life that you were "happy" about anything? Myself-Kawabuggy-and others, DO STILL follow this post. We are still around, and our guns are still functioning just fine. I've told you this before...

Tony, are you looking over my shoulder? I'm guilty of surfing the web while counting the minutes till I can leave work..

I see Tony replied while I was typing my reply! If you read both posts you'll see that he indicates to NOT USE a lighter striker spring, just as I indicated in my post that using a light spring, along with a shorter travel distance for the striker assembly may result in FTF's. The way that I...

Here is how I reduced trigger travel: I changed the location, and size of the slot in the trigger rod. In looking at the internals, I saw the quickest way to shorten the pull of the trigger was to remove the slop between the sear pin, and the trigger rod slot. I wanted the sear to start moving...

Shawn, we are light years ahead of your suggestion. I take it you just read the FIRST post in this thread, and did not read after that. You should read the rest of the posts as there is some great information found throughout the thread.

Greg, I appreciate you adding this: There are a lot of sources for full disassembly instructions for the Sigma and even more for the Glock. There's no need to "pry" the cover off the back of the slide. Push the striker sleeve forward and the cover slides right off with your thumb. The striker...

Gmchenry, remember when your mother told you "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all!".. We are all just sharing ideas. No need for you to be so stiff. And since you seem to have an aversion to ball point pen springs-I just MODIFIED 3 of my Mossberg rifles with...

I looked at the underside of my slide and can see the white plastic piece you are talking about. Problem is that the spring that is under that cap that explodes out is actually for the extractor. That white plastic piece you can see on the underside of the slide has no bearing on the extractor...

Sultan, you are correct, you have jarred my memory, the 2 white plastic pieces form the retainer. I can almost picture them in my mind now. I think that the spring goes around them and that is what holds the spring on. If you pull the spring back so that it is no longer covering the plastic...

Sultan, it has been so long since I did it-and I have done several other triggers in other guns since then. To get to the striker spring, you have to remove the black cap at the back of the slide. Remove the slide from the gun first. Then pry the black cap DOWN (hold the slide like it would sit...

I don't place much faith in the "shoot it a lot, and it will get better" ideology. I think in those situations, the person just shoots the gun enough that they get used to the horrendous 12 lb. trigger. If it is not exactly as you like it the first time you shoot it, you have work to do. Again...

For sure-the BIGGEST change in trigger pull came from changing out the striker spring. ****I must caution however that you stand the greatest chance of experiencing an FTF when changing out the striker spring.**** Those few times I experienced an FTF it was due to a light firing pin strike on...

I am still shooting away with my gun-with modifications-and have no problems to report. I felt comfortable enough with my gun to use it to certify for my CHL. Not a single FTF. I have put another 300 rounds through it since I last posted. Initially when I first made the changes I did...

I completely removed that small spring that is wrapped around the lower sear pin and have not experienced any ill effects..... Yet. In regards to polishing, I started with 800 grit paper, wrapped around a flat piece of plastic so that I was certain I was not introducing divots from uneven...

There is another post here: http://smith-wessonforum.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&f=5201039...961052282#8961052282 That link will cover most of what the pictures show here. The pictures really help to understand what is contained in that link. To give you the short version, I will cover what I did to...
