Steyr Trigger Upgrade Review

OK. I couldn't wait for my M357 to come out next month to test the new trigger upgrade from Steyr. So I sent my Steyr M40 to GSI on Monday and it arrived back at my home on Thursday. That's a 3 day turn-around folks. Is that service or what :)

Before the upgrade, my trigger had about a 7.5 lb pull or so. It was smooth and crisp. The trigger travel was only about 1/8", about half that of a Glock. I liked it, although I had to use a double-action style trigger pull with my finger (using the finger area after the first joint). I've met some Glockers who also like the heavier NY trigger pull and use a similar trigger pull like mine.

There was one thing I did not like about my trigger before the upgrade. If you held the trigger finger low on the trigger, it was more difficult to pull the trigger and it made a loud clicking noise.

What's it like after the upgrade:

The trigger now has a 5 lb trigger pull, which is about the same for standard Glocks. With the slightly lighter trigger, I can now shoot the Steyr with a single-action trigger pull (the part of the finger before the first joint), if I wish to.

Here's the really big improvement as far as I'm concerned. No matter where you place the trigger finger, high, medium, or low on the trigger, the trigger is "smooth and consistent"!

Now, the more you angle your finger on the trigger, so you are not generally pulling the safety straight back along with the trigger, the harder it gets to pull the trigger. And if you miss the trigger safety or just barely touch the side, you can't pull the trigger at all. This is great, because that's how the safety is supposed to work in case the trigger is accidentally bumped at an angle. Glock triggers work the same way.

You guessed it. I'm happy :)

I got my Steyr M9 upgraded. As Petej says the upgraded trigger is smooth, consistent, and feels lighter than original. Now I am a happy Steyr owner.
