Triggers

When you look for info on triggers it is all in different places with mostly OME parts. OME triggers with a little tweaking are easy to do and work great, I guess that's why a lot use them but I'm for the camp that all ways ask why and why not. Why can't I take an aftermarket trigger part and tweak them to get the same trigger as a tweaked out OME trigger. If I can't why, are the aftermarket trigger parts so bad they can't be tweaked? I guess it's the problem solver gen I have (I have to know why something doesn't work) I'm working on PF9ss triggers first. So far, I have some OME triggers that have not been polished, they work fine with a 6-61/2 lbs pull. I have some Serpico shoes with Orange CO trigger bars (that look like polished OME bars (part no.33363) I'm using a ghost connector with a trigger housing (part no.33213-1) with the 1/8th setscrew to adjust travel.

I go from a stock OME trigger without any polishing at 6-61/2 pull to the Serpico flat trigger, all edges polished round, polished shark fin and crucifix and the best I can get is 5 lbs pull.

I'm trying to teach myself about triggers and how to get them down to at least a 4 lbs pull.

Once I figure this out, then I'll work on travel and set.

I think the most important inner workings of P-80 are the triggers, this is what make that one-of-a-kind build that will show off your skills and my skills working on triggers needs work.

On my bigger builds, 940v2 and 940c I cheat. I use the Timney triggers.

That brings up another question, can the Timney shoe be changed out for a flat trigger shoe?
