Howdy
Firearm: Smith and Wesson Response 9mm
Customization: Replaced the stock trigger with Hiperfire 24C Competition, green springs
Issue: doubles and triples, some light strikes
I just installed this trigger a few days ago. I ran it in USPSA-style league and was getting occasional doubles. I was almost DQ'd for ND but I was on target each time, so no DQ. The RO asked if I was running a binary trigger, and after discussing my upgrade, he suggested I was bump-firing the trigger and I needed to practice with it more to get used to the lighter trigger. Fair enough.
Yesterday, at Steel Challenge this time, during the first stage the trigger was fine. I was paying really close attention to trigger control. But at the third stage, it started doubling, and then tripling. I voluntarily scratched my PCC for the last stage and shot the RO's PCC which has the exact same Hiperfire trigger and springs. It shot it well, and the trigger felt different, better.
The RO stayed after the shoot and looked at my rifle. He cracked it open, all looked fine. He dry fired it a few times and said the reset felt funny, like it was almost binary. He then shot a couple of magazines and it started doubling and tripling on him, and when he ejected chambered but unfired rounds, it showed light strikes. Multiple times.
As a third opinion, another RO shot the rifle and it did the same thing. They both stated something is wrong with the trigger.
Last night when I got home, I changed the springs out to the red (medium) springs, and verified the hammer spring was not installed wrong. I will try it with the medium springs this week, but I suspect something else is going on. Is there a chance the Response is built in such a way that it is not beefy enough in the BCG and buffer system to handle such a light trigger? Anyone else running the green springs in your Response successfully?
