Thanks for the replies.

I have ordered an Orange County Custom Trigger from www.occustomtriggers.com.
How'd that work out? I have ghost edge or ghost rocket trigger connectors in my glocks. I'd reccomend them. Was thinking I might swap one out to their new pro version in my glock 40 just to be even better. I really like the ones I have used anyway.

UPDATE: I received my trigger from www.occustomtriggers.com with silver trigger safety and I opted for the OC "Enhanced" mod as well. Also, I locally purchased a Ghost Edge connector, a lighter safety plunger spring and a heavier, 6 lb. trigger spring too. The trigger from OC cost me $60.00 before shipping and the Ghost package was around $25.00.

After installing the trigger group and Ghost package, which was very simple to do, and adjusting the pre-travel via the trigger screw, I have arrived with a very smooth, crisp trigger pull which scales at exactly 3.5 pounds. I am very pleased with my purchases and end result.

Gunsmithing / Re: G20-SF recoil spring out of position

Actually, the G20 factory spring is 17#.

Every time I field strip my Gen 3 G20, my RSA isn't where it was when I assembled it. But, I've never had a problem while assembled and shooting it. I've heard this is pretty common with Glocks.

Thanks so much for the tips, guys.

sep, how much $ can I get by with on the Zev components like you mention? And exactly what should I be ordering to be similar to what you have?

DM1906, I'm not sure if I'm ready or comfortable with sharpening the striker and trigger bar break just yet, but it sounds like you're on to something there.

First of all let me say that, while I'm no expert on shooting guns and hunting, I do have many years of experience with both, especially with handguns and hunting. So, with that being said, I ask that comments not be made recommending that I just "learn to shoot what I have first" or "the stock trigger should be good enough" and the like.

I'm looking for an aftermarket trigger kit or trigger parts that will give me a very nice, light, crisp, clean trigger pull on my Glock Gen 3, G20 that is to be used to hunt deer/coyote. I have already swapped out the stock barrel with a LWD 6.02" barrel, added a Burris FF3 reflex sight, and I also swapped out the trigger connector with a polished Glock OEM minus connector. While the trigger connector swap did improve the weight and feel, it still has a very disturbing creep right before the break. I'm thinking maybe a competition type of trigger may be my best bet. I would like to keep the price in the $60-$100 range.

Been looking at www.occustomtriggers.com and Phantom Triggers from http://glockparts.com but I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Excellent.

Mine has never shut off automatically like that. Weird. If you have anymore trouble, I hear that Burris has great customer service and their products have a lifetime warranty. :D

Ishoot: Nice shooting.
Just ordered a FFIII for my G40 yesterday.

Thank you.

Good choice and decision on the FF3.

Thanks for the results. I am getting right around 2 and a half inches at fifty yards with my G40 10mm shooting both underwood 200gr xtp and hard cast.

Excellent!

What kind of sights are you using on your G40?

Might wanna check out Sig Sauer Elite 180 gr. JHP ammo. That's what I plan to use for deer hunting this fall out of my G20 with extended LWD barrel.

Here's some of my chrono results. 1343 fps and 720 ft/lbs from my 6.02" barrel is nothing to sneeze at.

So far, so good with my Burris FF3 mounted on my G20 via UM3 Tactical rail mount.

Thanks for posting the results! 8)

For a JHP hunting load I'ld still go with Underwood for maximum performance aside from handloading your own.

For plinking there are lower cost options online (~20 cents per round cheaper) but for anyone who wants to purchase at their LGS then the SIG ammo is tough to beat if you can find it in your area.

You're welcome.

At 720 ft/lbs of muzzle energy from my extended barrel and readily available in my area, I'll opt for the Sig JHP ammo for deer hunting. Although I would like to try the Underwood ammo through my chrono with the extended barrel to see the difference.

I use Freedom Munitions ammo for practice and for GSSF competition with everything in my G20 converted back to stock.

Here are the prices I pay at my LGS for the Sig ammo:

180 gr. FMJ, 50 rounds...............$25.99
180 gr. JHP, 20 rounds...............$19.99

That's pretty competitive pricing for store bought ammo in 10mm.

You're welcome, guys.

And, I might also add that I got this 1 3/16" group at 40 yds immediately following the ammo testing while resetting the reflex sight after remounting with Loctite from an earlier time. This was with the JHP ammo fired through the LWD extended barrel.

Guns are weird! Your data is kind of reverse from mine and a bunch more spread between the FMJ and HP's. It would be interesting to see what the pull-down on those would show.

Yes, weird. I was quite surprised at the difference between the FMJ and the JHP myself. All in all I was pleased to see the consistency with the velocities from shot to shot with the relatively low extreme spread, save for the comparatively low 1296 fps output from a single round through the 6.02" LWD barrel mixed among the other four 1300+ fps rounds.

Factory 10mm ammo / Re: Sig 10mm ammo, hot or not?
January 03 2016 05:28:39 AM MST
As promised, I made it out yesterday and fired up the Pro Chrono chronograph to test the Sig Sauer 180 gr. ammo. I was quite pleased with the results. So, to answer the OP's question on whether this ammo is "hot or not", yes, the ammo is hot compared to some of the anemic ammo on the market but probably not as hot as ammo from Underwood, Buffalo Bore, etc. With my 6" LWD barrel, it's gonna be great whitetail medicine!

I started a thread with detailed results in the "Factory 10mm ammo" section. Go check it out.........
