Review
I really wanted to like this trigger. After installing, it did improve the trigger travel over the OEM flat trigger. It looks better than the stock trigger. I liked the position and feel of the trigger with my finger resting on the trigger, until I fired it today. I almost immediately noticed significant trigger pinch/bite. I tried relocating my finger position higher up on the trigger, but after a few shots my finger would slide down to be pinched once again. I immediately uninstalled it while cleaning my firearm. It should be noted that I have thin fingers, so those with fatter fingers may not experience the trigger pinch.
I have the P365XL Model. This is a nicely machined part. The angle it sits at is better than the factory flat trigger and looks nicer. The overtravel set screw works well. The reset is positive. However, the pretravel may be a little shorter, but it still has that creep or "mushy" feeling right before the break that I didn't like about the factory trigger. There is really no "wall" before the break. I also installed the spring kit. I followed the MCarbo video as I installed it. Everything went well until I got to reinstalling the take down lever - it may just be the XL model, but it will not fit in the order the video shows. I had to go back and pull the trigger pin to get the take down lever to fit properly in its slot. This was a little frustrating to figure out. Overall - still a nice upgrade but to me not the 40% gain people are claiming. Better in some ways, but the creep and the break are the same as the factory trigger.
I finally got a chance to shoot my sig 365xl with the new trigger installed and I absolutely love it! Its smooth as butter and easier to stay on target you guys nailed it keep up the hard work
Wow! I installed the short stroke trigger and the spring kit. Following the video as I worked, everything fell into place flawlessly! There were allot of parts on the fire control unit but the step by step video made everything SO easy! The results. Well, it was like night and day. Not only is the trigger stroke half what it was before, but it was also smoother with a crisper break. I would highly recommend this upgrade to anyone wanting to improve an already nearly perfect pistol! Thank you M-Carbo!
After replacing the trigger and springs (I also got those from MCarbo) I feel that I got a brand new gun of a much, much higher price category. Thank you!!!
I don’t know if the kit works. I got it installed and now my pistol won’t reassemble. I have installed over a dozen Mcarbo kits on Sigs and never had this issue. I’ve contacted customer service on numerous occasions and I’d have say customer service is non-existent. In a word, they suck.
I went ahead and ordered a new back plate for my P365 and followed Mcarbo's suggestion on how to fit it. It did rub on the plate at first but eventually wore in and now only slightly scrapes but not so much as to inhibit the slide install process.
This with the spring kit is what the P365 should come with. I had a lot of buyers remorse with the stock trigger. After install I was very surprised and pleased with the new feel. As advertised, shorter take up, cleaner /pronounced break a crisper reset.
Installed this trigger and the spring kit on my 365xl with my new Icarus frame and it looks and feels amazing. Excellent instructional video on how to install and more importantly, put your entire gun back together! Great work on this product and the spring kit as well as the logistics from order confirmation through to delivery!
I got M-carbo's trigger(black), trigger spring kit and striker/striker housing kit oh ya and the little skinny flathead tool with the notch in it and it made a big positive difference in my trigger/guns performance, much lighter pull,take up and a crisper wall very happy with everything I got and the install videos they put on YouTube made it so I could do the install my self, it took an hour and twenty minutes to do it myself, had alittle trouble getting the take down lever back in but I pulled the trigger pin out just enough that I could get it in but without pulling it all the way out of the trigger, thanks M-carbo. How about getting those plastic cups on the striker spring figured out so this gun will last a lifetime without having to get replacement parts every now and again 🙄 🤔
Update: I really do like this trigger. I am satisfied with the quality. The trigger is very smooth, making the handgun very easy to shoot. It provides more control over the firearm, especially during rapid follow-up shots. The post/over travel adjustability is excellent. The trigger has a clean, precise break but also seemingly gentle, making for very little effort to shoot. Most of the pretravel is removed. There is very little pretravel, but I do wish there were a way to fine tune the pretravel like the P320 trigger. (the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5) It would make it easier to find the sweet spot on the reset during rapid follow-up shots. I have to take care not to out shoot my slide sometimes. Overall I'm able to find a really good rhythm. I would definitely recommend this trigger.
Great trigger and easy installation. See the video M-Carbo provides or see The Sig guy's video. They are both worth seeing. I had a issue with installing the slide to the trigger group due to the safety sitting ever so slightly high. This is -caused by the trigger having a shorter take-up. No worries, after contacting M-Carbo about the issue I had they gave me advice on how to resolve this. It was an easy and actually just a good time at the range. After a few rounds everything settled in, and now everything works flawlessly. I highly recommend this trigger for the P365. Looks and feels wonderful. Follow up, reset is everything. Drop the coins and get it. You won't regret it.
Feels better than the stock trigger. Original trigger felt mushy to me. M-Carbo flat trigger with adjustable overtravel feels crisp, with a more pronounced reset. Product arrived quickly, no problems. Watch the video. It tells you everything you need to know to perform the upgrade(s). This review only covers the flat trigger; I did not modify any other part of my p365. One final note: I don't think the upgrade significantly changed the trigger distance, so if you have very small hands and find it difficult to reach the trigger in the stock configuration, then the flat trigger might not improve your situation in that respect.
I purchased the trigger and spring kit for my Sig Sauer P365X. It took about an hour and a half to install since I had never disassembled and reassembled the fire control unit. There are many helpful videos online. Take it step by step and listen to the tips and tricks offered by the instructors. I like the solid machined trigger better than the stock metal injectection molded trigger. I am pleased with the upgrade and saw positive results at the range. Less lower left of bullseye patterns.
The trigger came yesterday and was installed on my P365 380 in the evening. Thank you for the video. WOW-excellent fit for my finger. My +/- 0.02” (less) accurate measurements confirm better ones on the video. Striker safety lever slides under the back plate with no rubbing. Trigger pull is lighter by 6 oz. The trigger toe is narrower avoiding interference with Crimson Trace LG-422 wrapped on the trigger guard. I have been looking for my P365 trigger that would accommodate my hand. The factory curved trigger had good pull length but only when the finger was in the middle of the curvature pushing my finger up during the pull and pinching it on reset. The toe of the trigger was too far forward for me to place my finger lower. I compared my curved trigger to SIG flat one and found that toes of the both triggers are in the same forward resting position but flat one is 2mm forward at the finger position compared to the curved. That was no go for me due to my shorter fingers. I watched the trigger installation video by MC*CARBO and found comparison of relative positions of both SIG flat and MC*CARBO triggers-BINGO! According to the video the MC*CARBO trigger is aft from the SIG flat in resting position and matching the face of my curved trigger at finger position with additional bonus that toe of the flat trigger is over 3mm aft form the curved allowing me to place the finger even lower. Photo: the millimeter graduated sticky tape shows the following trigger positions front to back: Toe of curved-resting. Toe of MC*CARBO-resting. Toe of MC*CARBO-back. These dimensions are illustration only and true on the trigger guard but not at finger position.
First, the whole purchase interaction was top notch! From the time I placed my order I was looped in on the fast handling & shipping process. I had my trigger & spring kit in about a week! Amazing. Second, this is a MUST have for trigger snobs like myself. If you shoot, you understand. Night and day difference! Third, the installation video made this possible as I had never taken down an FCU from Sig. This can seem overwhelming at first, but I assure you, Chris Nelson patiently walks you through the process with excellent camera angle and intelligible descriptions.
