Adjusting Ruger SR9 Trigger?

[CommsNBombs]

My wife and I got a matching and sequential pair of Ruger SR9s as wedding gifts this past December, 'effin sweet!

 

However, we own HK VP9s (and also were used to the old crappy M9s in our arms room) and shooting the SR9s was...different.

 

The trigger pull is HEAVY, A couple others guys here on post I've talked to about it had the same complaints, my brother-in-law is in the same boat with his SR40. It is making our shooting look really bush-league. Granted we aren't some NAVSPECWAR-door-kicking-double-crimping-Osama-assassinating guys...but we know how to shoot.

 

I did a quick googling, and saw some kits online...but being the skeptic I am, I have to ask.

 

Has anyone of you messed with the trigger in the SR9? Is this something you can "Ghetto-Rig/DIY" or are these kits a must?

 

If the kits are solid, how noticable are they? And should I do it myself or have a certified person do it for me?

 

Thanks in advance!

You could find a bunch of info on the Ruger forums.

 

I put a Ghost Trigger in mine and got it to 5 lbs. This was early-on not long after the SR9 came out. I had a lot of trouble with mine but Ghost worked with me and we got it right.

 

It's an easy install and you can do it yourself. Probably a YouTube video on it.

 

One thing you need to do if you haven't already is remove the firing pin and check for shavings in the channel. I found shavings in mine and a SR9 compact I bought used some years later.

Well, the SR9 and 45 I have had great triggers out of the box. Guess I was lucky.

My SR9 has a better out of the box trigger than an awful lot of Glock and M&P's I've shot and handled so I'm fairly pleased with it. I've also been told by other folks that the SR9c trigger is as nice or better so who can say. I can say though your trigger will smooth out with enough rounds downrange, cleaning and lubrication. But if you want to improve things right away these folks are my only recommendation.http://gallowayprecision.com/ruger/sr9c-and-sr40c/
