Galloway CCW Kit for SR9/c

[martinj001]

Got my hands on Galloway's CCW trigger kit just recently and finally got a chance to mess around with getting it installed yesterday evening. The kit contains a trigger bar spring (heavier), a safety spring (lighter), and a striker spring (heavier). I've polished the internals on my SR9c already, and have been using a Ghost Rocket trigger bar as well.

Took me about 15-20 minutes to install, and I first installed everything with my Ghost Rocket trigger bar still in as well. My first impression was "uh-oh".... With the Ghost Rocket in, my trigger had some grittiness to it, almost felt like it was "staging" at some points, and almost felt as though the TCT on the trigger bar needed shortening as well.

I decided it was in my best interest to re-install the stock trigger bar and see how that felt and if I was having any similar issues. With the stock trigger bar, my impression went to "Bingo!". Nice, smooth, light pull with a stiffer, crisper break. Very little effort required to move the trigger through its initial pull, and then a final clean, crisp pull to get it to break.

I have yet to decide if I'll attempt to get the Ghost Rocket working right with this kit in, as I'm quite happy with the results of the CCW kit with stock trigger bar for a self defense weapon. Before I give it any more thought though, I plan to put some rounds downrange this weekend, and I'll report back when I do so.

For anyone looking to make the SR9/c trigger BETTER without having to worry about the legal issues of a "lighter" trigger, I suggest you look into Galloway's CCW trigger kit.

#s on the pull weight please.

I'm sorry to say I do not have a tool to get that for you. It is indeed heavier than both the stock (unmodified) trigger, as well as heavier than the setup with only the Ghost Rocket. Personally, I do not feel it is detrimental to the guns function as a self defense tool in any way. Galloway says the trigger pull should be about 8-9lbs with the CCW trigger kit installed, and that feels about right to me (based on the stock trigger being 6-7lbs and Ghost Rocket being 5-6).

If my local range/shop has a tool to measure trigger pull with, I'll see if I can use it for a few and get some actual numbers.

Thanks for the nice review on the Galloway CCW trigger kit. I installed a Ghost Ultimate installed on my SR9c several months ago. It is working great, but maybe I need to look at the trigger kit.

I regret to say I have yet to make it to the range, so no range report yet. :(

Alright, finally managed to get some range time in--put about 50 rounds downrange today. Definitely a fan of this trigger kit--while heavier, it feels more "positive" in a way. The break is stiff and crisp. I do believe I'm going to try and fit the Ghost Rocket back in there along side this kit, help get rid of the little bit of overtravel that is still there.

On another note, this little one followed me home and claims to be related to my SR9c.... :)

Great report!
I don't have an SR9 but always nice to come to a forum where we share information.

Update: reinstalled the Ghost Rocket. Trigger seemed just "ok" immediately after install, lightened up a little, definitely no overtravel. I was getting the "spongy" feel you get when the TCT hasn't been shaved down enough. Brought out the file again, and 3-4 attempts later got it feeling just right. Not sure why it took additional fitting after addition of Galloway's CCW Kit, but in my case it did. Trigger pull is lightened back up a little (I'd say it might be just about what stock is, 6-7lbs--down from 8+ I'd guess with just the Galloway kit), break is still crisp and clean, and no overtravel once again.

And also an update on the new little one... The same guy who made my SR9c holster made this and gave it to me to try out. :)
