Increase trigger pull on my TS?
« on: September 25, 2015, 01:12:38 AM »
I have owned my TS for over two years. I bought it to use in USPSA Limited, and I would love to if I wasn't afraid of it. The beautiful factory trigger is WAY too light for me to be confident competing the gun. Is there a mod or combination of mods that might give me a trigger pull of three pounds or more, or do I need to send the TS on to a better/more sensitive/younger shooter?

Too light? I don't get it. Are the springs stock?

Ever tried running a 1.9 pound trigger? It can surprise you in ways you wish it wouldn't.

I do not know anything about a TS, but would doubt it has a fireing pin block. That leaves two other options, a heavier trigger return spring if you have the light one installed, and a heavier mainspring(hammer).

Either CGW or CZC can get you sorted.

Heavier hammer spring will not affect trigger pull much on a single action gun.

Heavier main spring will add about 4 oz, but will make cocking and decocking (manually) a chore. I wouldn't recommend that. The factory main spring is quite 'heavy' already. It is 15 or 16 lbs at least. I tried 13 lbs and it was quite light compared to stock.

Heavier trigger spring,  well, i doubt there is one for the TS.

Heavier sear spring is the best way to go. You could use the Yanfiglio sear spring, it is one more coil thatn the CZ 75 sear spring. Indont know how much it would add.

You could try modifying the sear, open it up to house 2 sear springs instead of one. It is a solid 1lb gain. More or less what you need. i tried that, and got my TS to a notch over 3 lbs. The work on the sear was a bit tedious. You will need a flat needle file, and a lot of patience. Make sure you open the space towards the right side safety. That will ensure proper alignment of the exisitng sear spring with the notch in the safety which it holds onto. The new sear spring, to the right, will just rest on the safety.
I have done this on mine as well as to that of a friend's TS. Works as advertised !!! Its a bit tiring but doable.

Sounds perfect, Coolbox. Thanks. You wouldn't have a picture or two of your finished product, would you?

Hunsolo,  My 75 Shadow DA/SA trigger was down to just over two pounds SA and under 5# SA> which was and still is GREAT.  I increased the trigger spring weight and got the SA back up to around 2 # 6ozs or so and still was cautious.  I ordered the new sear spring,  but in the mean time got adjusted to the 2#6oz weight and left it alone.   I'm shooting better now than ever before and I'm an old guy.
Match today was good.  Young guys were asking how old I am. ;D

1SOW, I've got an AccuShadow with the beautiful CZC light SA trigger, too. The difference between the trigger on my Shadow and the TS trigger cannot be explained in pounds. With the Shadow, though the trigger is light, there still is a wall and you can tell where the wall is. On my TS that is not the case. If you touch the trigger, you had better be pointing at something that doesn't mind getting shot.

Hmm,  it's the break not the pull.  Maybe hammer hooks or sear engagement?

HunSolo, I will see what I can do for pics..

1SOQ, TS trigger is lighter by a full pound in certain cases, and a bit over in others, compared to SP01 Shadow. The trs is light, and overall trigger pull is real light. In earlier days, I myself could not figure out the break point !!

Has anyone discovered how to increase pull weight? I got a TSO recently and my trigger pull is at .36 pounds... yes that?s roughly 1/3 of a pound. Very unsafe and CZ didn?t have much guidance for me other than ?it?s normal?. They said if I sent it in they could look at unceasing the sear engagement... would that increase the weight? I don?t know how to do that though. I?m just looking for a reasonable 1.5-2lbs .

I have heard that a Tanfoglio sear spring is stiffer than a CZ's, and will increase a TS's trigger break weight.
