The "area" of change that makes Scott's trigger jobs remove pretravel, is the same thing that this part does, so if you put both of them in you'll have "too much of a good thing" and your sear won't go up enough to engage the striker or release the grip safety. So you'll have a gun with the grip safety always depressed and won't ever cock.

The trigger bar and sear mod from Pistol gear will run you $140. __________________ "Freedom is a light for which many men have died in darkness" "I...

CARBIDE drill and a good tap I can include them as a kit for an additional $10.00 + $32.25 $42.25

i'm just wondering if this part with acheive the same thing as the springer kit, or if i should just get the springer kit so i can get the modified sear.

Sounds liike exactly what I'm looking for. It also requires that you use an adjustable trigger bar (With set screw) like the one shown in the picture correct? Where can I pick one of those up at. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I really don't have the equipment to drill and tap the stock one. RE

Hmm... I'm assuming it fits all models? 9/40 and 45ACP? I might have to try one or two of them. Time to try drilling and tapping a few trigger bars I guess. What size screw does everyone use? Damn. I wish Tony lived closer. One of these levers, a (self) drilled/tapped trigger bar and a $20 spring kit would be a pretty sweet, and extremely cheap home-made trigger job.

I would suggest sending it to pwderRiver and let him do it all for around $50.00. Is there a list of mods available from PowderRiver somewhere - their website at www.powderriverprecision.com doesn't seem to have much listed. This looks like a good mod! Phil

So, is it something my newbie self could do? I haven't yet fully taken the gun apart, but I would like to be able to do a trigger job, and this seems like a good way to do it.
