I recently purchased a Ghost trigger bar reset. I meant to purchase the Ultimate version which requires no fitting and just drops in. Instead I received the Rocket version which requires fitting. I was hesitant to take on any project that involved removing material and maintaining a certain angle but today I decided to give it a try. After 6 rounds of stripping and grinding then testing I finally shortened the TCT to the point that the striker releases with 0 over-travel. I also polished the part of the striker that comes in contact with the trigger bar.
I have always loved my SR9, more so than the Glock 17 gen 3 I used to own purely for the ergonomics. Both are 99.99% reliable. I always felt the Glock had a better trigger though. The Glock had a better reset and felt less spongy.
While I have not live-fire tested the SR9 with the modification, it seems that I can have my cake and eat it too now. The trigger feel GREAT, the pull weight has been at least halved. It is also has a MUCH better reset and 0 over-travel.
I do have one question for anyone that has any experience with this modification. Now that I have no over-travel, is it possible through wear or grime accumulation that the striker will not be released? In other words, is it dangerous to be right on the line of 0 over-travel and the firearm not going bang? Should I go in and shorten the TCT just a bit more to give myself some wiggle room?
I have had my SR9 since 2011 and have a conservative est. 6000 rounds through it. I use it for everything from carry to IDPA to plinking.
