MCARBO Spring Kit
« on: January 27, 2022, 10:23:32 AM »
Well I finally got to install the MCARBO Trigger Spring Kit in the P-01 Omega. I'm very pleased with the results. I'm also impressed with their customer service. I had contacted them via email and received a reply very shortly.  I would definitely be a return customer and would highly recommend them what more can you ask for a good product and great customer service  :).

Thanks for the review.  What changes did you like?
If I had known how much better being retired is than working I would have done it FIRST.

Thanks for the review.  What changes did you like?

First off I never had any intentions to change out any of the springs. I actually just wanted to have a FPRP and TRS as a back up since Ive heard of these parts failing regularly (I do a lot of dry firing), I learn  from experience with another pistol to have spare parts for known failures. I figured I'd get the MCARBO spring kit since it had two of the parts I needed, you know more cost effective. The FPRP failed  :( just like I've heard/read about and I was ready and had the part and replaced it, then the TRS  :( broke and I was ready and replaced it. I figured I had the other three springs that others had replaced and were pleased with the results, so I was curious and put them in.

Ok, what changes did I like??? Full disclosure I don't have a trigger gauge, so to keep it simple it "feels" smoother  ;). I haven't been to the range yet the only trigger use has been with dry firing with a laser. I'm interested in seeing if it tightens up my groups at the range?? I'll update with the results.

I'm going to have to get a slide stop since apparently this is the next part that most likely will need to be replaced.

Yes the factory FPRP and TRS do tend to break with a lot of dry fire.  The after market (at least from Cajun Gun Works) do seem to hold up much better.  I shoot competition and have never had a slide stop break BUT I always have a spare.

Good luck at the range.

Went to the range today and shot the P-01 for the first time with the MCARBO springs installed. I didn't break any records however I  noticed my 5 shot groups being more consistent on numerous targets. I even tried the 25 yards section for the first time with 8 inch target and to my surprise I only missed hitting the paper once. I'm no expert with a handgun like some are here. I usually shoot at the 7 and 15 yard lane.

Good to hear!  All 4 Mcarbo kits in my 75's did help with accuracy, no doubt about that.
