P09 short reset kit

[3-gun]

Does the short reset kit do that much if you don't change to the race hammer? I would like to get rid of some of trigger movement in SA but don't want to change the hammer.
Looking for the best upgrade for the least amount of $$

You don't have to change the hammer to install the reset kit.

I know, but does it give a noticeable improvement?

[SPO1SHADOW]

It cuts the reset distance close to half. With a tweak to the trigger bar spring, polishing and the replacement OEM roller it offers a vast improvement to the smoothness of the double action at the same time.

Can the kit be used without the extended firing pin ? I think of using my 09 EDC and I don't want to sacrifice reliability by using a weaker hammer spring.

[SPO1SHADOW]

You need to use the whole kit and not mix OEM parts that the kit replaces. With the extended firing pin you don't get less reliability. With the EFP and a 15# main spring all of my guns are knocking the hell out of the primers. I have never had a light strike and can tell no difference in the indention between this set up and the stock configuration. With a stock main spring the EFP will actually pierce a primer. If you use the whole kit with an 18# main spring you will increase the reliability of the gun and not the reverse.

Thank you for the info :-)

Did you change the recoil spring ? I think that a lighter hammer spring would allow the slide to cycle fastly rearward, possibly slamming into the frame.

[SPO1SHADOW]

No need to change the recoil spring. There is not enough difference to cause a change. Changing the main spring from 20# to 18# is not going the effect the slide speed enough to worry about and going to a heavier spring may result in a reliability issue. They come over sprung anyway. Keep in mind that the ammo these guns were designed for are rated + P here in the States.
