    I purchased one these triggers to replace the stock trigger in my new G2C. He has several videos guiding you thru the installation but I still manged to lose the spring cap for the slide release bar. He quickly responded to my email and sent me a replacement free! His trigger has made my G2C consistently reliable and fun to shoot w/ no issues at >700 rounds so far. Keep Tinkering makes affordable quality triggers and supports those that purchase them. If you own a Taurus G series, I highly recommend his triggers!

      I was gonna ask about the triggers. Plan to buy a couple for people I know that own them. Just want to make sure it's something they'd like first before spending money on them. As far as I know though, they're reliable and safe... and I hate the OEM triggers. I have trouble imagining what was going through their heads when they chose to use that trigger design. It's a really cool and effective design... but the trigger blade is so thin and uncomfortable I just don't see how they thought it was a good idea. It's probably the only one I've ever found that's worse than the OEM Glock trigger blades. It's nice that the Keep Tinkering triggers don't have a trigger safety... but at the same time, I'm not sure if they're necessary or not. I'm not sure if they've ever been drop tested by anyone.

    Such a sweet gun, or the gun that wanted to be. If they would have spent a fraction more time on it, hot rodded it a bit, =perfection.
    Or made a dual-rail trigger assembly that was bind-proof, like a pump shotgun with dual-rails on the slide. Thanks for bringing this up!

    • @KeepTinkering

    Thanks for the video. I have a Taurus G2c that I installed one of your triggers on and had lots of reset issues. (The stock trigger was horrible. The spring was so loose that the trigger bar had zero retention. It just laid in the frame. Amazing that it actually shot). After some of your recommended tweaks, the gun works like a champ. Thanks again for posting your content.

    I bought and installed one of KT's triggers and trigger springs into my G2C as per his install videos. The improvement is huge! I can't believe Taurus doesn't contract with KT for his triggers. Shooting is much more pleasant and it seems to have improved accuracy.

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  3 года назад +1

      Glad you like it! And yea, the stock triggers leave such a short trigger face to backstrap distance at break, and such a long trigger pull that it really seems to cause a lot of low and to the left issues with people who have average sized or larger hands. Until you experience it yourself it wouldnt seem like moving that trigger face forward would make that much difference in accuracy, but it really seems to with quite a few people.

    I too had a great experience upgrading my trigger. Had a spring issue and he promptly corrected it by sending me another. The G2C is waaaay better with the trigger safety removed and the trigger bar tweaks applied per this video. Like others I have put over 1k rounds thru mine with ZERO issues. I count on my G2C as a daily carry and my mods (red dot and lakewood threaded barrel plus keep tinkering trigger kit) make this rock solid and frankly most accurate pistol I own...

    Thank you for this very informative video. It really helped make my Taurus G2C's trigger more fun and accurate to use. Mine had two false "breaks" in single action and three loud clicks in double action before reaching full trigger pull. The trigger bar tip was hitting the sear and pushing it in several directions both during trigger pull and release. After adjusting the trigger bar as you suggested, the tip of the trigger bar just clips the bottom of the sear as you recommended. Now I have very quiet trigger operation unless I push to the right or left instead of straight back which actually helps me tactilely to know when I have good backwards trigger finger movement. It also helps keep the G2C on target during trigger pull since it is much smoother and less jerky. Thank You!!!!!!!

    Just installed your trigger on my G3, it’s awesome. However, I to had the issue of the trigger not engaging when pressed to the left. I was shocked to see how much slop/play the factory trigger and your trigger has side to side. No worries I just put a washer/shim on the left side of trigger and now it’s PERFECT. I had to shave some off the washer to make a perfect shim.
    Just a suggestion for future sales, I think it would be awesome if you included or even sold shims. I had to do the same for my tx22 but I had 2 .005 shims left over from a 10/22 trigger job I did years ago. 2 .005 shims on the tx22 was perfect.
    Thanks for your awesome product.

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  3 года назад +1

    • @YeshuasServant
      @YeshuasServant 3 года назад

      Hey, I have been having issues with the slide going into battery while keeping trigger depressed. I think by adding your trigger and adding shims it keeps the trigger bar more upright and makes it drag harder on the firing pin safety plunger. I’ve dremeld the edge of the safety plunger rounding it off, which did help but it’s still not smooth enough for me. Anyways, I was wondering if you could make a reduced power safety plunger spring or know of where I can buy one? I don’t want to do the experimenting with different spring. People have been having same issue with glocks and there are aftermarket spring and plungers on the market for them. I wonder if a glock safety spring would work on the g3? Thanks for all you do. I really love your trigger shoes.

      @@YeshuasServant The striker block spring is pretty light weight from the factory, if your striker block isnt lifting easily, most often the problem is some sort of gunk in there. I would carefully take that assembly apart and clean it out real good. I have a video here: ruclips.net/video/XB-eJqQ8KXI/видео.html I start the process of taking out the striker block at about 12 minutes, and start showing my process to easily polish the striker block around 16 minutes. Let me know if that helps or if you need any further assistance.

    • @YeshuasServant
      @YeshuasServant 3 года назад

      Thanks, I’ve already polished and cleaned the plunger. I’m actually thinking that the cause is the extra power trigger bar spring you supply. I think it’s adding a lot of upward pressure to the slide disconnector and causing the disconnect or to slide hard against the slide. Maybe I’ll just let it brake in naturally. Everything functions when i slingshot the slide but when I ride the slide closed there is a sticking point.

    Have you ever been tempted to do a sight replacement with one of the Lakeline LLC sights or optic mounting plates? I've had my eye on their tritium night sights for a year now. (pretty sure they don't sell any triggers so they are not a competitor, not that I would expect people in the custom mod community to really think that way)
    Very glad to have found your channel. This is a specialized skill and knowledge base you have, as there seems to be very few people with an interest in modifying these guns, much less people who seem to have any idea what they're doing. There's an part and tutorial for everything you could ever want for a Glock, but it's slim pickings for a Taurus enthusiast community.
    I bought my PT111 G2 three years ago when it was the only gun I could afford and, lets just say, I had an urgent need for a self-defense tool at that moment in my life. Now that I have learned to love guns, of course there are expensive Glocks and Berettas and CZ's I'd love to buy, but all-in-all I still love my Taurus. People might turn their noses up when I tell them what I shoot but I truly think it is a hidden gem. It malfunctioned once on its first mag and never has again, several thousand rounds later. It fits my hands great. It is smaller than any 12+1 9mm has any business being. So as strange as it might seem to be putting money into modifying a $200 gun, I really would love to improve it as much as I can.

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  3 года назад +1

      Lakeline makes great stuff, but I do pretty well with the stock sights, so I have not replaced them yet. as far as the gun itself goes, absolutely. These are great guns, and so many companies can take notes from how thin and ergonomic Taurus made these!

      I added a hex dragonfly (someday I'll add the Hex Wasp instead) with Galloway precision optic plate. Once loctitied in place and zeroed in, the G2C is hard to beat for accuracy. The Keep Tinkering trigger is an amazing add when combined with a red dot. Is my everyday carry and trust it with my life...

    My brother gave me a non-functional PT24/7 G2C that he had bought around 2010, it had a plethora of problems including not dropping the striker/wouldn't fire, the single action reset didn't work, and there was a _ton_ of grittiness in the trigger. I ended up putting about five hours of work into it the other day and eventually got it back into perfect running shape, I had to stretch the trigger bar back about .065" thou, cut the sear back .025" thou, bend the sear ramp back into shape (it was F'd, I actually had to heat treat the thing afterward, it was soft as mild steel when I pulled it out) and sand it smooth to get rid of the grittiness, and I cut the leg of the striker back about .040" thousandths to match everything else up. Then I had to install a trigger stop to keep the sear from dropping too low which was causing the single action failure, and after that it was all back up and running, I've dry fired it into a snap cap about a thousand times to make sure it's all working and there's no changes. I also realized I hated the reset length of the single action, so I soldered a small 1/8" inch long 1/16" inch thick brass rod onto the front left side of the sear, so that the rod/sear hits the single action stop much closer than the standard reset, it only has about 1/8" inch of trigger reset now, which is less than half what the original reset was.
    I've had a low opinion of Taurus automatics because of this gun, I had made several attempts at fixing it in the past but wasn't training to be a gunsmith at the time like I am now, and to be fair it had less than 500 rounds through it brand new from the factory before it shit the bed, but now that it's fixed and the trigger is smoothed and reset shortened, I kind of like it. I'm sure the newer models of the G series are much improved over the one I have, with it's stamped sheet metal internals and nonexistent replacement parts, so I guess I shouldn't harp on them so bad anymore. But dang are these things a chore to fix, the springy stamped sheet metal parts are a PITA to fit or repair.

    I bought the straight blade trigger for my g3c and the combo of trigger and spring that comes with it gives me a dead trigger 50% of the time with a glove on. The trigger bar projection hits the sear every time. This gun has never been shot. I put a galloway trigger on it and it gets a dead trigger 10% of the time with a glove on. Sometimes the trigger bar projection hits the sear and sometimes it doesn't(galloway). What gives? Is the spring to stiff? It looks as though the trigger bar is higher on the sear and hits the bottom of it all the time with trigger/spring combo...

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  3 года назад

      The trigger spring cant be too stiff, these guns are HIGHLY dependent on having that trigger bar snapping back up as quickly and firmly as possible, and that tension is ALL generated by the trigger spring. If the rear of the trigger bar does snap back up quickly and with some force when pressed down, and you are still having reset issues when firing right handed, but not when firing left handed, or when putting pressure on the trigger from the left to the right while pulling the trigger, the issue is the trigger bar. Shoot me an email, if needed you can mail me the lower and I can get the issues resolved for you and send it back.

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  2 года назад

      Both my triggers and the stock G2C triggers have a fair amount of side to side play because Taurus doesnt always cut that trigger hole in exactly the same place, so some guns will be snug against one side, some guns will have the trigger snug against the other side, and some guns will have a fair amount of play. As far as the reset not working consistently, did you do the checks discussed in this video? Did you determine if the trigger bar had enough tension to snap back up? Or was the reset related to pushing the trigger to the left or right while pulling the trigger?

  • @skyward5748

    So to be clear, the trigger bar HAS to actuate the sear? or you have to bend it downwards until it no longer activates the sear?

      @KeepTinkering  2 года назад +1

      Its tough to say for sure, optimal is usually the trigger bar will just barely touch the bottom of the sear, and then slide under it without activating the sear. The reason this is optimal is because when the striker is cocked against the sear it will drop the sear down just a bit and puts everything in place. Keep in mind if your gun works fine with the stock trigger, it will work fine with my triggers as long as you pull the trigger straight back, just like you have to do with the factory trigger. If you do decide get one of my triggers and run into any issues, just let me know and I can help you out.

    So I just bought a g3c and my stock trigger after pulled and released doesn't reset all the way. I have to push the trigger forward or shake the gun for it to reset. Is this just because the gun is new and hasn't been fired yet or could it be a bad trigger from manufacturer. I'm new to owning firearms so any advice is greatly appreciated

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  2 года назад +1

      Tyler, no that isnt how it should come from the factory. My suggestion is the empty the gun, remove the mag and slide, lube up the lower pretty well, then work the trigger back and forth putting significant pressure first on one side, then on the other side while holding back the trigger safety. Sometimes these guns can have minor friction point hot spots that can often be resolved by doing this. If that doesnt work, you may try the other suggestions I have in this video for getting the trigger to return forward, or contact Taurus with a warranty claim.

    With mine the trigger bar part that pushes on the sear actually releases it so that the trigger resets with the slide removed. It runs flawlessly with hundreds of rounds through it. When the trigger bar pushes the sear you can see and hear it click, and the trigger will reset. Is this normal?

    I have heard that the keep tinkering trigger is a great replacement trigger for my G2C. I ordered a trigger, while trying to install the trigger, the spring was damaged. I have contacted the seller about three times requesting information how I can purchase a replacement spring. The guy refuses to answer my emails or send me information how to purchase a new spring. I can not use the trigger or use my gun. I will caution against buying this product as customer service is terrible.

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  2 года назад +1

      I am very sorry to hear that, as I said in the video you want it to be BARELY missing the bottom of the sear when the slide is off, if you do it like I show in the video when you put the slide on it will move the sear down just a little bit and that rear projection on the back of the trigger bar will be in just the right spot to push against the very bottom of the sear. If you bend it down way down too far, it will completely miss the sear even when the slide is on, then if you bend it way back up you are now fatiguing the metal. That was why in the video I said small steps and test as you go.

    Very weak reset on the g3c, aside that the trigger feels great with less travel

    • @KeepTinkering
      @KeepTinkering  2 года назад

      A reset that feels weak is almost always related to trigger spring that is either weak or has been deformed and is lacking preload, or excess friction along the trigger bar that is keeping it from popping up as it should. At the beginning of this video I cover the test for checking how fast the trigger bar pops back up, and some things you can try to get it to loosen up a bit. If none of those work and your trigger bar return seems weak or sluggish, it is possible that the trigger spring was deformed during the install. This video may help with the trigger spring install: ruclips.net/video/E0rqzitj2Ho/видео.html and if you either need help rewinding the trigger spring a bit, or need a new trigger spring, feel free to contact me at keeptinkering@gmail.com.

      @KeepTinkering  2 года назад +1

      In my experience when you buy a cheaper product, you get less quality control. That is definitely an issue that Taurus is known for, but I do think it is blown WAY out of proportion. Every manufacturer and every process has an error rate, and I honestly dont think Taurus in recent years is THAT much higher than seen with other gun manufacturers. I have seen thousands of these guns, and while I dont like the stock trigger safety design, which is why I made my own, 99% of the other issues I see with these guns is related to problems with the trigger bar, which I have a video on correcting. So it really just depends if you want spend $200-$300 and get a gun you may have to spend 30-60 minutes going through to make sure everything is perfect, or if you want to spend $500+ on a gun from a manufacturer that also has a chance to have problems.

      Did you watch the video? As I stated in it the problem can exist with the stock trigger as well, but is disguised by the fact that often the stock trigger when new will hang up if you put ANY pressure left to right, and it forces you to pull straight back so the issue isnt apparent. However as the stock gun breaks in and loosens up a little, or if it came a bit on the looser side new, or if the trigger bar just came REALLY out of whack, the problem can happen even with the stock trigger. I have not examined the gun myself, but I am about 99% sure that is what is happening with the stock trigger in this gun: ruclips.net/video/tozGjeySduQ/видео.html
