Eric e-mailed me the following and confirmed that the third click exists. I don't see it being a problem while shooting as it really isn't very noticeable when resetting the trigger quickly. when resetting slowly it is pretty obvious.

From Eric: "Yep nothing to worry about. The extra click is just the blocker dropping. Giving we are radically altering the timing of the fire control some things that are masked in the factory setup are visible or rather audible with our kit. So no worries sounds like it is operating correctly.
Thanks,
Eric"


Cool thanks for the heads up........

I would prefer not having the extra click, but the improvement to the trigger is so good I can learn to live with it.

From this video it looks like it does nothing for the long pull:

It is..... I really love the new pull... I also took it to my LGS and everyone that tried it was amazed how nice it was.. Some are now thinking that they are going to purchase one now because of the trigger upgrade... it takes it from being a staple gun to a real weapon-was what one of the guys said..

I removed my mag disconnect last Fall and although the trigger was lightened somewhat the pull is still long. Better, but not great in other words. For me, the jury is still out as to whether I want to dump the cash into my LC9 for now as I rarely shoot it, having relegated it to a "truck" gun, so to speak. I think it's a great idea to have a better trigger but as well I feel as if many want to transform the LC9 into a range gun which really defeats the purpose of the gun IMO. It's a CCW. The worst part of the LC9 for me is that damned roll pin removal to clean the FP channel. Too much like a SIG.

Who knows as I might change my mind down the road, however I do applaud American ingenuity for finding a market. :wink:

That gun in that video does not include the Galloway trigger bar. It just has the hammer, guide rod, and recoil spring installed.

The gun in the video ptroxx posted gives a better representation, but it has a customer modified trigger bar and not the Galloway.

I installed the full kit with trigger bar, and compared it to a friends that has the kit, minus the trigger bar. The difference is night and day. The full kit lets the trigger break in half the distance and eliminates that long trigger pull that you don't like.

Does yours have the third click when resetting the trigger?

I'm still a relatively new shooter (~5500 rounds total since I got back into shooting about this time last year) with experience shooting only 5 different handguns. I have about 375 rounds through the LC9 since I purchased it in late February and find the trigger to be pretty good against an admittedly small experience base. I bought the LC9 for CC and part of the decision was based on the DAO trigger (and yes, the manual safety - call me old-fashioned). I don't want to turn it into a "hair trigger" or target trigger, although I do enjoy shooting the LC9. The discussion about the Galloway trigger has me interested but not convinced that it is a good idea for a CCW.

Question 1 - How much does it reduce the trigger travel? Has anyone actually measured it? Am I correct in assuming that the reduction comes from reducing the length of pull?

Question 2 - What is the factory trigger pull weight and what is the Galoway pull weight?

Question 3 - Is it still a good DAO CCW or are you approaching a "cocked and locked" type of pistol.

I appreciate the knowledge everyone on this forum is willing to share with newbies like me.

there are a ton of videos on line showing you the trigger pull here is a small one I did to show a friend that wanted to get one for his.

Not sure of the weight difference.,

I still think it would make a great CCW...

you might email eric from galloway and see if he ca giv you weight difference...

I love mine...
