Sigma question

[DWSson]

I am a new S&W Sigma SW40VE owner. I have done a fair amount of reading about reducing the trigger spring action. I have pulled apart the sear mechinism and am polishing that, as well as treating metal to metal places with Brownell Action Magic ll, all in an effort to reduce the trigger pressure and smooth up the activation/trigger pull. I also purchased a Wolf 3.5lb striker pin spring.

My question is how do I replace the striker pin spring? How does the old one come out?

I appreciate any help - the more detailed the better. Or a reference to a site with photos. I have researched but cannot fine any "how to" references.

Thanks

just a question ... are you sure you want to replace the striker spring? not sure it bodes well for reliability. you might check the smith & wesson forum.

I cannot join that forum since I have a yahoo email address. SAD!! and just scanning line by line to find a thread is a forever project. Do you have any url references??

i too have a sigma in .40 with the black slide, but ive grown up with revolvers and the trigger is no problem at all if you use your first joint instead of the pad, treat it like a revolver. if S&W wanted a lighter trigger pull they would have put a external safety on it.

here's a good start:

there are links in that thread too.

basically the concensus is that a 3.5 lb spring is too light for SD reliability, and that other trigger mods beyond polishing, lube, and maybe grinding the sear springs as in the thread will result in poor reliability as well.

Your not missing anything Actually S&W forum does have some good info if you can wade thru some of the other stuff. The hotmail/yahoo thing is a pain though. Surprisingly the public library computer I sometimes use won't allow me to look up S&W forum!

I just left my sw9ve trigger alone and have learned to live with it. The gun is very reliable as is so I deal with it.
