Do you all want me to review it :D
Get on the stick, man!
I know i want you to buff
Yes
I do, for sure.
Yes!
Alright, installed my trigger!! Definitely a must have trigger upgrade for the Ruger 57 at this time. Some tips/advice, add loctite to your pre and post travel screws before adjusting. Make sure you adjust your Pre travel screw first then your post travel screw (or else you will have to unscrew your post travel screw anyways to adjust your pre travel). To adjust your pre travel, hold the trigger down and carefully adjust the screw (this is why you want your post travel screw a bit out of the way). BE GENTLE AND PRECISE. Love this upgrade already!
I have to say I was nervous to try this. But took me 30 minutes start to finish. Watched the video in full, then watched it step by step. Not a simple job but definitely doable. Such a better trigger feel. Great product definitely recommend. If you don’t feel comfortable local gun shop said around $50 to install. Thank you again
Glad to hear it worked for you Bill!
Great video. The truly ANNOYING part was trying to get the trigger pin out. Actually went to a gun smith and he got it out in a min. The banging didn't work, the jolting or movement of the spring. He popped it out from the bottom of the trigger with a punch. Overall I am completely satisfied and this video was easy to follow.
Wow, what an incredibly helpful step-by-step video. Can we get you to make EVERY how-to video on RUclips?! You didn't try to impress us with how fast you can do it -- you showed us exactly what we will experience. Thank you!
Thank you!
Just did this to my 57 and I must say its a well deserve difference, almost on par with my Ruger MPR.
Instead of trying to shake out the trigger pin drive out the mini roll pin in the trigger shoe "safety pivots on it" to open up the underside then knock out the pin with a small punch pin. Good Luck. 🙋♂
Buddy, I owe you a beer. I pissed around for 45 minutes because my trigger pivot pin was in tight. Without your comment, I would’ve been going to a gunsmith.
First, this is a good video and walks you through the install step by step. There were a couple of things I found during my own install.
1. When installing the screws into the trigger there isn't an explanation for which screw to use as Bill picks them up off of the table. The longer one would seem to be the top one based on the qualifier that it has to be flush with each edge of the trigger but I broke out a ruler and measured the pins on a still frame--he clearly uses the longer screw as the lower one and the shorter screw as the top one. Clarification would have helped at that step.
2. Removing the pin inside the trigger was a real bear. I tried everything suggested with no luck. Exasperated, I drove out the roll pin holding the factory trigger and safety lever together. Voila! I was then able to use a punch to drive the pin inside the trigger from the bottom. Be aware that the factory trigger and safety lever also have a small spring. I was initially worried that I had somehow shaken loose a spring from somewhere important.
3. Installing the pin inside the trigger didn't work at all for me with magnetic tools. It kept coming back out with the tool. Instead I used needle nose (not magnetic) pliers and was then able to play with the trigger in order to get everything lined up.
I'll be heading to the range soon but being able to eliminate the trigger's pre-travel should be a great improvement.
I’ve spent 2 days trying everything to get that trigger pin out and nothing was working until I saw your comment literally fixed everything you have no idea how great full I am
@@owentardif8745 Happy to help! I've learned so many tip sand tricks from comment sections.
Bless you and your comments, brother.
@@mrmrdux Happy to help. They really did make a very good video overall.
Thanks so much! You saved me some serious headaches and lots of time.
Best trigger video EVER nice and slow just the way I like it
Thank you, it would have taken me 3 times longer without video especially for reassembly, well done.
Thanks! Glad it helped.
This video just came up as recommended by RUclips. I just ordered the trigger a few days ago. Definitely saved me some time.
Glad to hear it was helpful!
@@TANDEMKROSS Good video. But when you inserted the trigger spring into the hole, you didn't show or explain what it catches on or hooks to. what does it catch on to keep it in place? There is a hole in the top of the new trigger. Is that what it hooks to?
Getting the whole mechanism back into the frame is a PITA. If you don't slide it back then down at the right angle it will ACT like it's seated properly but you cant put any of the pins back in. Took me about 3 or 4 times to finally get it properly lined up.
Great tutorial,,this trigger makes it a 100% better pistol
You made that look so easy - great job - you earned a new subscriber
Just bought my Ruger 5.7 a few days ago. It's a great gun but the trigger is the only thing a dislike about the pistol. I hit up youtube and seen your vid with great installation instructions. "Victory trigger purchased" Thanks
Glad to hear it! I'm sure you'll like it.
Installed awesome upgrade and the next is TLR-1 Start to finish about 35-38 minutes.
I need that takedown mat in green and I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks! We'll keep that in mind. If there's enough demand for other colors, it might just happen!
All I can say is if a rifle bag or takedown mat were added to the site my shooting club would be purchasing them we love the parts and customer service.
Did anyone notice the trigger has a lot of play side to side? At the time I felt this play, I had not adjusted the pre and post travel screws. Once I adjusted them, the play seemed to go away. Anyone getting this play in the trigger side to side, go through the adjustments, it should go away.
As for the video, thank you for the step by step. However, I do have one thing to point out that I feel could have been touched on. The pre/post screws are different lengths, it wasn’t mentioned or clear on which screw was what. I had to screen shot as you had them laid out so I could see which one was longer and which one you picked up.
installed successfully!!! very amazing video tutorial
I did it first try!!! Awesome
There is literally a pin to push out of the stock trigger that allows you to use a punch to get the pivot pin out to remove the trigger. That would have been awesome to know
Awesome trigger just installed one on my 57 and one on my buddy 57 took about 8mins to install and set up the travel 👍
If the trigger is already on can you tell change the travel ?
@@07kennels51 u mean if you bought one installed already can you change the travel, yes u can
@@rodr686 without taking it apart?
Just to let you know if you remove the roll pin in the stock trigger safety catch and remove the catch the trigger pin can be pushed out from there! Saved me a lot of time and aggravation!
Oh wow, thank you! We will have to try it!
Great video keep up the good work guys
Thanks Michael!
I just ordered the red trigger and I'm up to the task, especially with you as my guide. Good video and thanks!
Hi, I started the upgrade but I got stuck on the part where to get the little pin out of the trigger. The pin is stuck halfway. It won’t come out more go back in. What can I do
I had to take the safety blade out of the factory trigger and use a punch to get it out. Seems to be a random problem.
My trigger package included the two screws, however, they are different sizes. I am assuming the larger on goes into the upper screw mount. So I got the trigger installed and I have only dry fired the gun. So far I can't feel any difference as far as trigger pull - still a heavy pull. We shall see when I check it out at the range.
Please let us know, keep in mind that the reason the trigger will have a perceived lightness over factory is due to fact that you can pull from a lower trigger position and with more leverage.
Let us know how your range day goes!
@@TANDEMKROSS So why does my rigger package come with two different screw sizes. I took the trigger out and reversed the screws, using the longer screw for the post travel and the shorter one for pre-travel. I am going to try it again. In hind sight I would have most likely have chosen the S&W as it has a lighter trigger pull. The only way to improve the actual trigger pull is to have a lighter trigger spring. I have a Glock that have several different trigger options and I have the Vogle trigger with close to 2.5 pounds. Being able to isolate the trigger finger is easier with lighter pull: understanding that this can be a safety concern if in the wrong hands or just being careless.
third pistol for the 5.7x28* and then if u have a CMMG with a pistol brace it'd be 4 technically (well unless agreeing with the ATF on braces)
The Ruger 57 and the FN FiveseveN are NOT the only two handguns to ever chamber 5.7x28mm. Masterpiece Arms has had two pistols in 5.7. Excel Arms also offers two handguns in 5.7. The Diamondback's DBX is also a 5.7x28mm pistol.
But as in a traditional pistol, there's only the Ruger, the FN, Excel Arms, and the fort-28..
@@BuffRANGE Forgot about the Fort-28. Wish that was available here. Still, even without the two from MPA, the DBX, and the Excel X, that makes four handguns chambered in 5.7x28; not two like nearly every review likes to state.
*Can't wait for Glock, S&W, Walther, etc. to hop on the 5.7 Train, now that Ruger's driving it.*
*It's inevitable, that a rush to 5.7 will happen, which in turn will spawn new carbines and many other dynamic pistol designs.*
*This also means there will be an Ammo Boom. (imagine LehighDefence & Underwood)*
*Actually, imagine all the dynamics of new designs.*
*At the very least, we'll see FN drop down to more reasonable prices, or lose sales (already happening).*
*Sohei Jones,*
*The Diamondback DBX 5.7mm Pistol is pretty cool (light weight) but sadly, the Excel Arms Accelerator MP-5.7 Semi Auto Handgun is garbage, and not much thought went into the design of the MPA Defender.*
*I'd like to see KRISS chamber the vector in 5.7, maybe get a binary trigger installed, and high cap mags.*
*Hey TANDEMKROSS!......when are you going to come up with a Binary Trigger?*
*You would Rule the Roost if you made it more affordable.*
*The future of shooting 5.7x28mm. is looking real good Sohei.*
@@tropocal2343 A solid copper screwdriver bit is not what 5.7 needs. We need a miniaturized M855A1 at about 30-35gr over 2100 fps :D
@@soheijones3294 I almost caught myself saying that too, but then had to think about the fact that the EA guns exist as well as the MPA :D
I need to adjust my pre trigger pull on my it’s sooo spongy
adjust those pre/post travel screws!
@@TANDEMKROSS why doesn’t it work on LC carbine?
You took apart more of the assembly then needed. You should pry warn people that if they adjust the pre and post screws to far out that the safety will not engage and/or the trigger will not release the hammer. Overall i like it better then the stock trigger
MMM, GONNA ORDER NOW!
Ok. Gun all put back together. I rack the slide and pull trigger-it shoots. I rack the slide again, but this time the trigger doesn’t reset and won’t fire. I have to manually move the trigger forward with my finger. What did I do wrong?
Loosen up your pre travel a little bit, as if its overtightened you will need to help it reset. We typically recommend backing it up so it won't reset fully, and then doing a half turn until it resets for you. Keeps it short and crisp while resetting every time!
@@TANDEMKROSS I removed the travel screws completely. Trigger still does not automatically reset.
@@mrmrdux hmmm, could you reach out to our customer service? We will make sure you get this up and running!
I got to the last part , can’t get screw out of stock trigger . No luck and no gun smiths in my area!
As someone else asked...Will you be putting out one green in color, soon?
I read in the manual to never pull the trigger during field striping it to clean and it can cause issues if you do. In the video, you put the slide on with the hammer up so it looked like it had its trigger pulled. Can you fill me in on what's up with that? Was there no parts in the stock trigger that made the center dingus thing act as s safety? I know this trigger disables that but what part of the install disabled it where it fires without it?
Simply dry-firing the pistol without the slide installed can damage the pistol. If you do not let the hammer down gently with your finger, the hammer can swing forward and hit parts that were not designed to be hit. By gently letting the hammer down, you relieve hammer spring tension without damaging any components.
The trigger safety blade presses up against a shelf up inside the back of the trigger guard and prevents the trigger from moving back unless the trigger safety blade is pressed first so that it clears that shelf.
Great job guys!!! I was hoping someone would hurry up and develop a trigger. Can I get a threaded barrel and a comp PLEASE!
how do you properly adjust the pre and post travel screws, you say to adjust them but make no reference to what to look for in the adjustment process?
Here's a video we did a while back on the process. This specific trigger isn't in it but the process is pretty universally applicable: ruclips.net/video/v3wUleLlMX4/видео.html
Thank God for your videos, 2 questions does the trigger change the pull tension if so what will it be? Does it shorten the reset? Thanks.
My post travel screw always starts to slide out after the slide racks, anyone else have this problem? I have the end flush with the trigger, but it slowly slides out over time.
Use some blue loctite :)
Will this work with the ruger 57 pro
When will the red triggers be back in stock? Or better yet, will you guys be releasing a green version?
Would this trigger work on my Ruger 57 carbine
Yes!
You said something about adjusting the screws on the trigger itself how do we do that and why do we need to do it.
The screws on the trigger itself let you adjust the pre-travel and post-travel of the trigger, i.e. how much it moves before and after it actually triggers the firing mechanism. I usually leave it out of the main install part of videos, partly because everyone has different settings that they like for it. But also partly because we also have a whole video dedicated to showing you how to adjust your pre-and post-travel, which you can see here: ruclips.net/video/v3wUleLlMX4/видео.html
@@TANDEMKROSS ok thank you. So those adjustments have to be made for the firearm to work properly. Hopefully my trigger will be here tomorrow already took the stock trigger off. Thanks for the amazing video on how to do it.
@@byronhuddleston1173 have you installed yours yet? I haven't installed mine yet, any tips/advice before I begin? Also, is it a game changer for the Ruger 57's not so good trigger?
@@Akhi_Abed I have changed mine just follow their video to install. Not sure what I did wrong but me pre travel screw broke but I was able to set the post travel screw right. Took it to the range it still fire perfect. I have to shoot another 100 rounds before I'm comfortable with carrying it again. It looks harder than what it was.
@@byronhuddleston1173 thanks Byron, hope it works out!
Will my safety still work after this upgrade 🤔
Yes it will!
Well I'll probably get but I wish you'd make one for my SR9E as well.
You guys got an eta on when these will be back in stock? Really wanna get my hands on one
They should be back in stock within a week.
0:40 "...a somewhat niche, but very effective choice..." Has this round ever been used in combat, or for civilian self-defense? I'm just wondering what the numbers are, or if they even exist.
This archived article from 2006 says that Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the USA have all used 5.7x28mm as a service round. Not sure if that's police or military service, but it has definitely seen some use.
web.archive.org/web/20061016074936/www.global-defence.com/2006/Utilities/article.php?id=40
As for civilians, I don't have concrete numbers on how often it's used in self defense situations, but go into any 57 Facebook group and you'll see people talking about using their Ruger-57 as a carry gun or bedside table gun. So the potential is certainly there.
I cant even get my trigger pin out i need some help
Hi Jesse! Go ahead and give our customer service a call if you haven't already and we will be glad to walk you through it!
We're you able to get it out? I can't either
That’s why some have the gift of gunsmiths gift ....
Will this trigger also work with Ruger's new 5.7 LC Carbine?
It will not, are you liking yours? We haven't gotten our hands on one yet!
@@TANDEMKROSS Absolutely love it! Very fun/expensive to shoot! LoL
I’m using it on mine. Recommend either understanding the function of every tiny part or waiting for the video.
So it's the trigger finger lever but NOTHING else internally to give a much better trigger feel. Why would I want this unless I love red?
There are no changes to the mechanism to make it lighter, that's correct.. But the long flat face trigger gives you better leverage on the pull, so you expend less effort and it feels lighter.
I think the major win is really fixing the notable reset length that is a frequent complaint, and deglocking it :)
I'll take the added safety of the lever inside the RUGER OEM trigger.
@@ericb.4358 Good for you! I won't.
This was cake. I spent more time messing with the pre-travel. Almost as if it's going to be better to add more material to the front of the trigger than using a screw that you can't access once the gun is together. I still feel the threads in the aluminum are good too loose, and nail polish/loctite is required.
Thanks for the additional feedback, glad you found the install easy. We'll keep the more material bit in mind in case we ever do a version 2. And we always recommend loctite or nail polish for pre and post travel screws too.
Is the trigger binary?
....no... its just a trigger
How can I order one?!
Hey R W! You can order one here!

@@TANDEMKROSS which screw is pre and post? Can't tell by the video.
I'm in the same boat can't get the dang thing out... how did you do it?
You've got a guy in your video shooting the pistol right handed, but aiming with his left eye. Who cast this? Tommy Wiseau?
It's entirely possible to be right handed but left eye dominant. You just have to know that's the case and adjust for it.
I'm one of those guys. Quite a few of us.
Cross dominant eye. Thats 1 way you can aim if you have that issue. I do too . It's taught in classes ways to compensate. You can even aim with both eyes but it takes practice.
I have always watched the videos on every TK part I’ve installed on all my guns but I have to say I’m kind of glad I don’t own that gun! 🤦🏻♂️
It's an intimidating install for sure! Now that I've done it a couple times, I realize that it's not really that hard, it's just long. I don't think it's as hard as our PMR30 trigger or even our SW22 trigger. But it's definitely a longer process than the SW22 one.
I'm glad I DO own a RUGER 57. A better 5.7 x 28 pistol than the FN Five seveN for several reasons.
I've improved the trigger on my PS90 with a simple drop-in part from Promoted Pawn but I really wonder how much improved this TandemKross trigger is in reducing creep and let-off distance.
lol this things cheap garbage mags suck and it fires if dropped...I exchanged for FN.
I just came from a video of a dude repeatedly dropping his at different angles, doesnt fire
So why did you feel the need to comment on a video of a custom trigger for a gun you have no interest in? Do you actively search out videos of stuff you have no interest in just to hurl complaints and insults?
Show me where it fires if dropped please. I'd love to see it actually happening. This is a ruger, not a sig m19. :P
So you traded a gen2 5.7 pistol with modernized components and full aftermarket support/customization abilities for a 30 year old gen1 5.7 pistol that has zero aftermarket support and no optic plate mounting points? Do you also use leaded gas and think the 1911 is peak pistol engineering?
