- The fastest and cheapest trigger job you can do to your Hi Power.
This is not a "how to" video. It shows how the magazine safety influences the trigger and what the trigger pull benefits are by removing it.
Trigger pulls went from;
Browning: 5# 12.9oz to 3# 3.6oz = 2# 9.3oz improvement.
Girsan: 5# 12.6oz to 3# 4.1oz = 2# 8.5oz improvement.
These pistols are completely stock, only the magazine safeties were removed.
The idea of the long pin working as Trigger stop is Nice!!!
Great tutorial thank you. I'm about to buy my first hi-power and this is exactly the information I was looking for. I'm actually surprised RUclips let us stay up for 6 months.
The type of finish on the magazine has a TREMENDOUS effect on the trigger "feel".
The magazines for the Hi Power were available with two finishes. They could be had in polished blue, or they could be had in a kind of grey parkerizing. Knowing that the majority of the grittiness that is felt during the trigger pull is due to the friction of the spring-loaded "foot" on the magazine disconnect rubbing up and down against the front of the magazine, conventional reasoning infers, if your goal is to reduce friction then you should adopt the magazine finish that is "smoother". Guess what. It doesn't work that way!
I have an FN MKIII High Power that still has the magazine disconnect installed. I also have magazines that are highly-polished blue and others that are parkerized. If I have a blued magazine in the pistol the trigger pull is simply HORRENDOUS. But if I simply change to a parkerized magazine, the trigger pull smooths out to the point that it is quite reasonable. Not the result that you would expect, but that's what I experienced with my FN MKIII.
FWIW, I also have two FEG Hi Powers that I purchased from a surplus dealer that passed through the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces. One is rollmarked as an FEG, and the other is a Counterfeit FN that FEG rollmarked as an FN and sold to Tariq Azziz when Iraq was under an arms embargo and could not buy weapons from the West. (How that pistol came to be in Israeli hands is probably an interesting story. But getting back on subject, both of the FEG pistols had the magazine disconnects removed.
That is interesting.
I know about the Iraqi fake FEG-HP's, I briefly talk about it in an earlier FEG video. These fake FN's were sold commercially and brand new in South Africa in the 1980's. How they got there is also unknown. Maybe sanctions also curbed the sale of real FN's to South Africa.🤷♂
They have a safety already having the mag block is like the Hillary Hole on a S&W revolver..
Magazine disconnect... not safety. If you ever need to fire your weapon without a magazine inserted you are out of luck.
Ì knew you could do it
