P10c trigger pull

[Duke Nukem]

Not telling you what to do, but high quality carry ammo can help reduce the risk of a light strike.

Not trying to put words in your mouth, but maybe what you meant to say is that some ammo will still work even with a light strike.

I know that some primers have softer cups than others (e.g.: Federal vs. CCI), but I didn't know that all carry ammo uses the softer primers.  It would make sense if that were the case, though.

I ordered the HB Industries striker spring kit though are they as reliable as the factory spring?    I don’t shoot any ammo known for hard primers I don’t think though I know it’s always a possibility that a round in any given batch can exist and I’d much rather have a slightly heavier trigger vs. a lighter trigger that had occasional issues with ignition.

I have an early P10c and fitted the HBI trigger and light firing pin spring when those first came out. I had to retreat to the heavier FP spring due to some light strikes. No problems since then. No idea if break-in has changed those results either. I'm very happy with the performance 'as is'.

No idea if the specs on the HBI kit or P10c have changes since the first year of production for either. I simply thought you'd like some customer feedback.

Well I found out the HBI springs are painted and I don’t want that flaking off in the striker channel.  I may just stick with the factory spring and see if it continues to wear in over the hundreds of rounds I plan on putting through it yet this year.  I can already almost shoot 1” groups at 10 yards so maybe I don’t need the trigger any better.  Honestly if I had never read that most everyone was getting sub 5# triggers I’d have thought mine was just fine.  Appreciate the comments in the thread guys.

That's like living your life based on what you see and read on Facebook.

Let your trigger finger and your targets determine what you do and you'll be a lot better off.

I have about 700 rounds through my P10C and the trigger averages 4.5 lbs but seems very smooth to me.

Just for fun I ended up buying a Lyman digital pull gauge to test it against my Wheeler analog one as I had read several excerpts that showed the digital gauge being quite accurate and reliable.  Well my P10c pulls on average about 4.75-4.8# with the new Lyman so looks like I was in the wheelhouse all along.  Can’t believe the Wheeler analog was almost half a pound heavier.  Perhaps it was my technique who knows.  Never would have started the thread had I used the Lyman in the first place.

How do you know which instrument is accurate? Lyman or Wheeler? Can you calibrate them or use a known weight to test them to see how close they are to the truth?

[Joe L]

With a pinned trigger, the placement of the J hook on the trigger is critical.  This is because the leverage changes with the distance from the trigger pin.  Mark the spot of contact and use the same spot for both gauges and for future comparisons if you make modifications.  A 1911 trigger isn't too critical, since it moves in a line, for example.

use a ten pound dumbbell weight for calibration.

[Macgruber81]

Good call on the weight for calibration.   I just figured the electronic one was more accurate as it claims to be within a certain ounce range depending on the trigger weight range.   

And yes I am trying to be careful as to pull the j hook at the same spot on the trigger for consistency.  This was true even with the analog pull gauge.

Shot my P-10S today after polishing the dingus on the striker. Some improvement and smoother, but I would still like a lighter break once you reach the wall.

Have any of you put the Cajun Gun Works P-10 kit parts into your P-10? If you have, I would like to hear about your results.

[Joe L]

I have the P-10F, C, S with the CGW kit parts in all three.  Love'em.  I also have a 4lb Glock striker spring and retainers on the CGW striker.  If that is too light for you, go to a 4.5 or 5.0 Glock striker spring, but use the Glock keepers with the Glock spring.  Don't do this at all if CGW says not to, however.  I did mine early on, but this combination seems fine in my pistols, which are all range guns only, not carry guns.

Thank you so much, Joe. Much good information for me to work with.

Honestly, it's all over the place. That's why they call it the "CZ trigger lottery".

. Truth!  Well stated.  The best thing you can do with any CZ is buy it in person because if you buy it online, you will never know what you’re getting.

Best thing you can do when buying ANY gun today is see it in person. I could type half a page over my recent dealings with Beretta.
