The da is a lil hard so I also bought a set of Trapper gun springs and installed the recoil and trigger springs

Now its very nice and light.

glocknut · 07-10-2005, 02:02 PM

How hard is a little hard ? I owned a Glock with the 12lb trigger pull, and it seemed stiff but not horrible... but then agian I've got a good grip. I won't say why.....

I'm trying to behave myself here....

LOL

How many pounds of pull do you think it was on your firestorm ?

FlyinGN · 07-10-2005, 02:16 PM

Mike It was about the same as a Glock when I used DA. My friend has a glock and I tried his trigger and compared it to my Firestorm before the spring kit. Now its lighter

Frank

glocknut · 07-10-2005, 02:30 PM

You mean the standard 5.5 Glock trigger or the new york trigger ??

If its lighter than the standard 5.5, then its way to light for me. Especially if this is to be a ccw firearm.

FlyinGN · 07-10-2005, 02:45 PM

no Im saying about 10-12 lbs like the one you had.. Its about at 6 lbs now with the spring kit installed

FlyinGN · 07-20-2005, 08:25 PM

Just got back from the range with my new firestorm tonight.. 150 flawless rounds.. accuracy was very good.. not as good as my full sized Beretta 92 but darn fine for such a short barrel. By the second box at 33' I was shooting like this.. Very happy with my Firestorm

FlyinGN · 08-30-2005, 05:32 AM
