Is anyone using one of these trigger groups?

And if so, how much pre travel are you eliminating and what weight of striker spring are you using?

Mr. V in one of his videos says that he uses the factory spring weight "because he uses a variety of ammunition."  (Reloads I assume).  

thanks!

Does not look like anyone is using the Vogel.

How about the Hackathorn or Pyramid?

I'm using it. I didn't adjust anything on it. Left it as is and installed the middle numbered spring whatever that was.

I love it.

My wife got me a Pyramid trigger as a surprise Xmas gift a couple years ago, no complaints, nice feel, GTG in my book.

PS
I got one hell of a good wife.

What will you be using it for?  If for competition I'd highly recommend the DK Custom trigger kit.  It feels amazing; no pre or over travel.  I just got the basic kit so I'm using the 4.5# striker spring.  If you get the full kit with the modified striker you should be able to use the 4# striker spring.

Thanks guys,

I am using it for occasional CC and light competition (production class) just to learn the DA only system after being with 1911's for so many years.  I was tempted to purchase a DK with flat trigger but thought it was so un-Glock like that I wanted it to feel more like a Glock.  With safety on trigger I did not want to entirely get rid of the initial take up and just settled for a lighter, smoother trigger pull and more snappy reset.

I enjoy the little Glock.  Sure is light weight!

Rocco, have you ever had a light primer strike with that middle (4.5 lb I think) spring on the striler?  I was thinking of doing just like you did.

I would not recommend the DK Custom, or any other competition oriented trigger, for a CCW.  

I've yet to have a light strike with the 4.5lb. spring with CCI and S&B primers.  But I still wouldn't recommend this for a CCW either.

I got the Vogel installed without too much difficulty, except recapturing the striker spring with the spring cups.  Im starting out with the 4.5 lb and Federal ammo.  

I donot have a very good quaoity trigger pull gauge (old RCBS spring loaded) but it looks like the pull weight is around 3.5 lbs, down from over 6.

I left set screw for over travel alone.  It has a real snappy return.  If I like it will probably lok tight it in place.  

I am a little bit surprised the pull is that light since the Vogel connector seems to have more contact on inside side of frame than the OEM. Maybe just the way I installed it?  The finish on the parts is really, really, bright.  Almost like it was chrome plated.  Truly mirror bright.

Very smooth, not at all gritty.  distinct two-stage wall.  Light pressure for the break.

No light primer strikes. However I only use Winchester primers to avoid that problem.
