I worked out the problem with my Israeli surplus Hi-Power,(replaced safety). I now have a shooter with a safety that completely blocks the sear and a hefty trigger pull. Has anyone out there actually worked on lightening a Hi-Power trigger pull? I really need to include a picture with this, the finish includes some type of dark finish that has been painted over badly, but all three of my magazines feed flawlessly. Anyway any experienced reply would be appreciated. I'm not interested in a new hammer and sear. thanks gang.
 
High power trigger pull

Contact mr. Teddy jacobson @ "actions by-t" in sugarland, tx. He is ranked in the top 100 in the nation by "handgunner magazine" since 1984. Tell him that michael in sealy, tx. Referred you to contact him.

Sir;
Hi-Power triggers will never be very light and still safe. I'd say get a Ron Power jug with the right insert for H.P>s

Appreciate the info GURU, but am more interested in what he does than sending the shooter to him, plus it would embarrass me for anyone to see how butt ugly it is.

Harry I'm not looking for a light trigger pull, just one that's not as heavy and I don't think hittin the bottle, no matter who's jug it is is a good idea, well maybe as a last resort.

Thanks gang.
 
HP trigger pull

you might try polishing the face of the magazine safety as well as the face of the mag where it makes contact with the safety. there may be some springs available from Wolff, but I don't remember. If you haven't disassembeled the trigger group before, get professional help on that. for those who don't know, the magazine safety does not allow the gun to fire with the mag removed.
 
I thought about removing the magazine safety, but maybe a lighter hammer spring would be more helpful. Thanks triggerman.
 
One quick and "dirty" way of reducing the trigger pull on a HP is to put a dab of grease on the area of the magazine where the trigger disconnect pad rubs it. This is works for range use, target shooting, etc., but for a carry gun, a gunsmith's services are preferable.
 
I have lightened several BHP triggers, and it is not a matter of one single thing but of many things. The last one I did was a FEG clone and it had an interesting problem. The trigger spring was too long and the end dragged on the magazine, giving both a terrible trigger pull and a rather nasty screech to boot. Once that was taken care of, the factory trigger was not bad, but I did the usual smoothing up and spring work.

The Canadian armorers used to put nice pulls on them for competition when it was their service pistol.
