New trigger candidate??

[dlcra]

I am doing a lot of dry-fire practicing and have noticed that just prior to break, the trigger has a perceptible "slide" which has me anticipating the coming break-point. I fear that I am then doing something, in response to that "slide" that, once I am on the range, will result in shots well off the 'x'.
In my beginning shooter's mind, I have three options....which do you recommend?
1. confirm my suspicions at the range
2. have LGS look at my trigger and analyze
3. go ahead and contact Apex for a trigger kit

Perhaps I should do all three, in order. (LGS may be able to adjust if there IS a problem.)
Thanks for your advice!

There's no adjustment that can be made to your trigger other than polishing the internals (trigger bar, sear and striker block) and I doubt the LGS will modify your gun (for legal reasons). I'd suggest a range trip to see how it performs and maybe polishing it. you may just have a machining burr causing the issue. If still unhappy, get the APEX kit. If you're handy, there are good video's on YouTube that show you how to polish your parts and also how the install the Apex kit if you go that route.

The tone of the post suggests you are doing little live fire and much dryfire. I'd heavily consider putting rounds down range and letting that be the deciding factor. I like to tinker with my guns and have them just right. I have also been shooting for 25 years. You will end up with a lot of money spent unnecessarily by making decisions off of dryfire. I like the Apex kits and if you are fairly handy you'll be able to put it in yourself.

Go with your gut, pick option 1, and figure it out at the range.

Sounds normal to me. More live fire trigger time is a great idea.

Until you actually shoot the gun and see that you are indeed off the X, you have nothing to correct.

Lots of dry practice is great, but it must have a purpose. Are you pressing the trigger too slowly? Is your sight picture changing as you press the trigger? Are you staging your trigger?

I suspect that if you press smoothly, straight back, in one motion, that "slide" will be less noticed if not gone entirely.
