Where to go for trigger work?

[emil77]

Hi guys,

I have a Ruger P90, .45. The trigger I feel is too stiff for me. Is there anyway I can have trigger work done on it, to lighten the trigger pull? If so, who would you guys recommend?

I live near Glendale/Burbank area in Southern, CA. I don't mind driving a bit for good work.

You can a get a little better trigger by buying a Wolff reduced power hammer spring set from Midway, and install it yourself. Take off the grips, remove lanyard pin, remove old spring, install new spring. It won't be a match trigger, but should be an improvement.

Try taking it to Addex tactical and see what they can do to it. They are a fully equipped shop that has a gunsmith.

Thanks for the info guys. My idea plan is to have a lighter trigger pull, I will take a look at the Wolf spring, thanks!

I'd try a felt bobbin and metal polish like Flitz. Maybe start out with a polishing past like jeweler's rouge. Do you have a dremel type that you can get felts for?

Take the trigger mechanism apart paying close attention to where metal contacts metal and polish those areas to a shine.

I've vastly improved the trigger pull of several of my guns by polishing the surfaces. I've also improved function and reliability by polishing contact areas such as rails, feed ramps, barrels, and such. Just don't use stones or grinding pastes as then you are getting into gunsmithing and can do damage pretty quickly.

Thanks, but I don't have the skill level to do that on my pistol! Would rather pay to have the job done right then to mess it up.

That's why I said a dremel, polishing paste, and felts. The effort it would take to "mess it up" would take true intent and hours upon hours of time. Take a fired brass case and polish it shinny. Then try to polish it to a near mirror finish. Notice the difference in time and brass is a soft metal.

Anyway changing the springs will have a greater affect than polishing.

Hmmm, maybe I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Just my 2 cents. It is not really worth messing around with your trigger. I own a P89 and wanted to do the same thing as you. I searched around and found out a few things. Messing with springs could possibly cause light primer strikes, leading to fail to fire. There are not many companies that make aftermarket trigger parts for the P series. You could polish the internals which would make it smoother but, would most likely not lighten the trigger pull much. In short I just left the gun alone and bought another handgun with a trigger pull I liked. I not sure if this is an answer you wanted but, I hope it helps. Check out rugerforum.net and rugerforum.com there is a lot of info there.

That's a great answer, great info. I guess i will stick with the stock trigger!

Perfect answer... I own quite a few P- Series and let me say thats the only pistol that really needed anything from sights to trigger work. I actually used my P-89 in the academy worked like a champ...

Good choice on leaving the stock trigger...

How many rounds have you shot through that pistol? just wondering.
