    Default Snipping Striker Spring to reduce pull weight?

    Hello All,
    Has anyone considered snipping off a few rings of their striker spring in slightly reducing trigger pull weight or is that even possible? Otherwise, what is the point in purchasing a Galloway trigger kit for such. Seems like you would accomplish the same goal?

    My S9 has about 500rds through it and my trigger is pulling right at 5.5#. I would love to have it around 5# and maybe even slightly less at 4.75#, no lower.

    I'm not really wanting to modify my trigger as you see a lot of people do but an extra 1/2 lbs off would be perfect to me.

    Thanks,
    Ralph

    Wolff sells a reduced power striker spring.

    +1 on the Wolff Reduced Power Striker Spring ! !

    I've put them into my son-in-law's PM9, his Dad's PM9 and I've had them in my P9 Covert and my K9; plus there's one inbound (bought on ebay) for my new T9.

    They're great and really improve the trigger pull, while getting 100% function and reliability.

    I put the Wolff springs in all of my Kahrs and then took out the P45 one as I started having light strikes... not a good thing when you want a Bang!

    Thanks for the replies. I thought the Wolf springs reduced them to around 4lbs but I see they are actually rated at 5#. Their website says it's not for duty use though. Is there a real concern with light primer strikes with these springs?

    Thanks,
    Ralph

    I've got Wolff springs on a P9 and PM9. You can tell the difference, it's a little lighter and seems smoother. I have had no light strikes or misfires using any ammo I've tried.

    I will make one statement about trigger pull ....Speaking from experience, if you need to fire your weapon in a self defense situation..... a 4# trigger pull is going to make ZERO difference compared to a 5 0r 6# pull!!! Bubbadising your firearm by cutting a spring...never mind I said I would make ONE comment!!

    We have a bingo here.

    I put the Wolff springs in my Kahrs. On my PM45 which I had owned for quite a spell it didn't make much difference. The factory triggers vary a bit and mine before the swap measured right around 5. The Wolff measured just about the same. I always meant to measure it again after it's been in for awhile to see if the spring set and use would lighten it some.

    In some cases it might make a big difference in others no so much.

    As Mike said when you look the elephant in the eye it's doubtful you'll notice trigger pull weight. If it was 20 and you need it you'll pull it and most likely not notice you even did.
