My personal view is, a trigger job is never completed.

I wanted to provide an update to my original post.

With the pandemic and the prohibitive cost of ammunition I have not been shooting very much, and when I do it is only with limited rounds.

After approximately 500 rounds through the HK, it has undergone a remarkable transformation. The trigger modifications from Grayguns improved the trigger tremendously from stock, but not as good as my stock Steyr S9 A1.

Now, after allowing the modifications to “burnish in”, this gun is amazing! During my most recent range trip, the trigger take up was glass smooth and the break was crisp but no longer stiff. My accuracy was, for me, off the charts. It felt like a well tuned 1911.

The Steyr trigger is still good, but now a distant second.

These updates are always worthwhile. Thank you.

1lieutenant, thanks for making the time to follow up on your post and experience. We all benefit when members take the time to follow up with additional information and input.

Evidently, break-in (burnish-in) is a real thing.

Really glad to read you're happy with the work after additional shooting and breaking in!

Offer still stands to compare stock HK vs GG vs yours.

Thanks for the update, 1lieutenant.

FWIW: I don't usually think of trigger work until a firearm has had at least two-three hundred rounds down the pipe, unless the stock trigger has a lot of creep in it, such as my Ruger Blackhawk had.

E.g.: My new Springfield EMP. I ran 100+ rounds down-range and dry-fired probably another 300 or more times before I decided the trigger, while crisp, was just too heavy for my taste. Gunsmith took it down to four lbs. on the button.

Before I sent the HK off to Grayguns, I ran over 500 rounds hoping the stock trigger would improve. There was very little to no improvement.

Wasn't questioning what you did. Was just stating what I do.

Didn’t take it that way. Was just clarifying.

I have several guns that have been worked over by the guys at GGI as well as some that have GGI parts installed. I have a couple of HKs but neither are VP9s. I’ll start by saying HK triggers are what they are, decent combat triggers. The VP9s are usually pretty good for striker fired guns, but my experience has been all striker fired guns have some level of mush. Sometimes that mush makes it hard to feel the wall. I can’t say whether your HK striker fired pistol is as good as it gets, safely anyway, but I can say my expectations are different than with a DA/SA or SA trigger. Can I feel a distinct wall and can I get to it consistently with control? Of my four P320 FCUs, two are comp guns under 3lbs and two are CW FCUs that are right about 3.5 lbs. None of which have had anything done except a GGI flat trigger with over-travel adjustment screws installed. The two comp pistols are nearly identical, the two carry guns feel slightly different. I shoot all very well but I also dry fire them a crap ton.

One thing I can promise, the people at GGI will do everything to make you satisfied.

Man, I wish I could shoot like that at 25 yards.

Used to be able to do it. Not any more.

The red dot has helped these 68 year old eyes. Being able to focus on my target and not the front sight helps tremendously.

Problem is I'm near- and far-sighted. Essentially: If it's not between arms-length and ±15-20 ft., it gets increasingly ill-defined w/o corrective lenses.

Plus I have astigmatism and lost part of the vision in my right eye due to a Branch Retina Artery Occlusion.

Doesn't matter. I can still kinda sorta shoot, so it's all good
