Have no idea what you mean....are you talking about making the trigger face narrower?

The easiest method would be to simply replace it with a standard 3rd gen trigger which is already narrowed.

Default trigger

What is the width of the trigger you have now?

As far as I know there are two OEM trigger widths available, one is approx. the same width as the frame opening or .368", and the other has a slightly narrower face, .300-304".
If your 3913 has the "wider" trigger face you could purchase the narrower one. They are available at Numrich......

If you want a face narrower than .304" you will have to modify it yourself, or take it to a qualified gunsmith.
