Gunsmithing day at my house
Well, it was more like gun fumbling than smithing. But after I somehow managed to install a new hammer, trigger return spring and rear sight in a Blackhawk .41 without losing any tiny parts this morning, I decided it was time to attempt to install the Mcarbo springs, do the Mcarbo parts polish and install the Timney Alpha trigger in the Glock Model 40. Got out my Dremel and my Flitz and the postage-stamp square of 1,000-grit wet-or-dry that comes with the Mcarbo kit and polished and lubed the slide parts, swapped out the firing pin spring for the 4-pounder and the teensy one for the safety plunger. Easy enough. Had to do a lot more fiddling putting in the Timney Alpha trigger; the Timney rep who does the short Youtube on this went way too fast for this old caballero, but I found another Youtube that took it slow enough for me to "sabe the business" and get it done. I'll say this: I have messed with ghost connectors, lighter springs, Zev triggers and so forth and found little meaningful improvement in the Glock trigger and a larger balance on my credit card. This Timney is a "whole 'nother ballgame. " Very light take-up and a very crisp break -- FINALLY. Now to shoot the dang thing.
I have installed and used a couple of the Glock Timney triggers and they are very good. I installed the new Glock Performance Trigger on a friends G19 and it is pretty dang good for $100. At our indoor match last night there was a noticeable difference in his group size.
