Since this website is buggy and not excepting reviews, I'm not gonna take the time to rewrite the first one that didnt go through. Needs an allen key and install info! No customer service response..
Installation was a breeze after watching the video. I could not be more pleased with this upgrade. After a session at the range, my accuracy & groupings were greatly improved due to the improved take-up & reset. You will not be disappointed! I give this product 5 thumbs up!
Just wanted to pass on to any new timers that install this trigger. As I did not understand what the overtravel screw was for I left it out. This weekend I took out the trigger module from my Hellcat and installed the overtravel screw after reading some feedback below. Well after reassembling this Hellcat I could not depress the trigger as I had the overtravel set too far in and I could not disassemble the Hellcat either. I was able to reach the screw of the assembled pistol and I backed it out until the trigger position changed and the trigger functioned. After this I backed it out a little more for comfort. I am very happy with this aspect of the trigger, just wished there was some instructions.
The aluminum shoe is an excellent part with great attention to detail. The addition of the pre-travel adjustment screw made the end-result better than I expected. I now have a 4.5lb trigger with all of other M-Carbo parts (minus the rare striker) with a super short pre-travel. My Hellcat Pro feels like a whole new gun. Thanks M-Carbo!
Can't rate this product. Have not installed my HELLCAT Flat Trigger MOD-2 Uprgade yet...waiting on the video. Don't know how to use that Pre-Travel Adjustment Fixture.
I am having the same problem Bipster is having. I could not find an Allen wrench in my sets small enough to fit. I went to Lowe's and Home Depot looking for one. The smallest one was .005", according to the Bipster that is too large. According to his review, he was told .035, in either inches or mm's. There is no installation video but I found one for an Apex trigger and watched that. I had to figure out what the jig was for by looking at the pics on the website. No instructions came with the trigger. I put the pistol back together and left the trigger on the workbench until I can find the correct Allen wrench. I have installed two spring kits on SP101's and the Hellcat spring kit and SS sleeve from MCarbo and am very happy with them. But this was a little disappointing.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! This product doesn't work and causes the trigger to be extremely delayed. When talking to customer service to fix the issue, they just ghosted me. Don't waste your money or time with this company!
Absolutely amazing results compared to the crappie stock plastic heavy heavy heavy trigger! Mine was a low 8 pound trigger stock! Now she's pulling high 3s on the digital & low 4s on manual! So easy to install! Polished all trigger internals as mentioned in video. I'm happy I didn't wet sand with 1000 grit! No need. Very happy customer as always. Also you can take out all the uptake because it's ajustable not like apex. 10+++++🌟
Worth the cost. Improved trigger pull from 5.5lbs to 4lbs. Action is much smoother than the OEM trigger and springs. I also followed Chris's recommendation on polishing and then polished some more. I actually polished inside the firing pin housing as both the stock sleeve and new stainless sleeve seemed gritty and draggy. I also polished both sides of the sear. Seemed to make a difference in how smooth the trigger felt. Area for Improvement: I challenge Chris to get a video out on the trigger replacement and include polishing. Your videos are a big help and one of the main reasons I purchase from Mcarbo. It was fairly straightforward after Tech Support gave me some info. I'll include that here in case anyone else is interested. Trigger Install Guidance From MCarbo Tech Support: With the trigger and trigger bar sitting in the trigger tool push the trigger bar all the way up. Then insert and begin rotating the set screw. Once you feel the screw make contact with the trigger bar, give one or two more rotations. Install the trigger assembly back into the firearm and test the trigger pull. if you want to get rid of a little more take the trigger assembly back out of the firearm and twist the set screw 1 or 2 more times. Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the amount of pre-travel. Note: If the safety blade starts to hit the frame when you pull the trigger then set screw is too far in and needs to be backed out more. Trigger safety is designed to stop the trigger from being pulled Right Before the trigger bar interacts with the safety plunger. It always needs two forms of safety engagement.
Just finished the trigger spring kit and flat trigger upgrade. Went smooth and easy. Maybe after a few firings go back and do some polishing. Hitting the range this weekend to see how it all feels. So far I am just as pleased with it as I am with the spring upgrades on my Beretta. You make a great product and I tell everyone about it, just as someone did me.
Didn't have a problem with the factory trigger on my hellcat, but pretravel and reset were more than I like. The mod2 trigger has that good feeling of connection with my finger, I have everything set the way I like. Coupled with the spring kit it's perfect. And it's made out of aluminum instead of plastic.
Installed this today along with the spring/striker sleeve kit. Noticeably better feel on the finger and much better take up and incredibly quicker reset. Impossible to replicate any hang up from a lateral pull. Not being a gunsmith, it took me a bit to figure out how best to pin it to the trigger bar, instructions or a quick video would've helped. Not into flash so all black all good.
Way better quality than the factory trigger, the take-up adjustment is nice(make sure you have the slide on before you assume the safety blade will catch the frame) . If you have a Hellcat model with a safety, unless I did something wrong(I don’t believe I did) if you try to take out a lot of the trigger take up by adjusting the screw far enough in, it moves the trigger bar enough to where the part of the trigger bar that’s inside the seer housing is pushed back enough and blocks the safety from engaging. I had to loosen the screw quite a bit to get the safety to engage. All that said and done, it’s still a good upgrade in my opinion, and if it were my gun I’d run it tighter disabling the safety anyways, but it’s not so it is what it is. Happy with the trigger.
Unlike the previous reviewer, I could not get the MCARBO trigger to lock-up with an improper finger placement, and the install was as easy as a reload.
Bought the flat trigger for the Hellcat, even though I couldn’t review installation video (because there wasn’t one) ahead of time. Figured I’d get a paper addendum or something … but NADA. It cam with a jig, presumable to set the travel, but no instructions on how to use or set the travel. Then, I tried to put in the super small hex screw and discovered I didn’t have an Allen wrench that small. So, I called and was told use the jig to put in set screw .. bottom out and back out 3-4 threads. When I asked what the Allen wrench size was, gunsmith said 1/16”, but there was no way! Even a .05” was too big, so called again and they said .035mm, of which they meant inches, but they swear it was mm. When I asked why they didn’t include the micro-allen wrench they apologized and said they would send one. So, trigger has been sitting on my bench for 3 days and will be there another couple min. What happened to the old MCARBO where everything was thought out and any/all tools provided in the kit. Seems like they are shooting from the hip on this one.
same as Bipster and Ricky Bobby but luckily I have a micro set for cellphones and was able to use a 0.9mm hex key. too it to the range yesterday and worked great.
