Now that the Poly80 G31/G32 build is over 2K rounds, seemed like a decent time to address the ho-hum factory trigger.
I'd already done the .25 cent trigger job (full polish of the trigger bar and connector), and it was better, but still more take-up and overall slop than I'd prefer. So it was time to consider other options.
After getting to play with SCARCQB's G19 Kompressor clone, which is a very nice piece BTW. I put the order in with Suarez International for their Ultimate Trigger Kit (Flat-face shoe, trigger bar, and connector) - I opted for the minimal take-up variant. All springs were left factory.
Initial impressions:
Take-up, drastically reduced. There is the smallest amount of initial take-up, roughly 1/16th of an inch. Compared to box stock though, what take-up?
Over-travel, roughly 1/16th of an inch. Shot breaks cleanly, and I don't even notice any over-travel to speak of.
Reset, 1/8th of an inch. Very tactile, with a nice audible click. Factory FCG seems to have a louder 'click', but it also has way more travel until the reset.
Personally, I prefer the flat-face trigger shoe with the wider trigger safety blade. And for the price (less than $85 shipped), I have no complaints.
Only downside, tomorrow I HAVE to hit the range and see how this feels with live fire. Dummy rounds just won't do.
