Two Spurs Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Finally................... did the trigger swap in my Stoeger and ran a box of shells through it. Much simpler than I thought it would be. Happy cowboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 If you've ever shot one with the triggers swapped, then shot one without, you would notice a difference. Just a cool thing that might help, CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Is it hard to do and does it require requireany special tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Spurs Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Is it hard to do and does it require requireany special tools? I'll send you the PDF from the write-up in the SASS Chronicle. The only special tool I had was a Dremel tool. If you don't have one, this is a great excuse to buy one. Wouldn't try the swap without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ T. Sites Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I tried it on my stoeger but they changed the trigger design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I did it on my Stoeger several years ago and I have had no problems. Does it make me faster? I dunno....maybe. You just have to file off a little bit of the metal flange on the side of the trigger so it will pass the other trigger when you swap them.

Grizzly Dave Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Fillmore, from what I understand the perceived improvement is this, by swapping the triggers the left barrel fires with the front trigger, or first so that swinging on to the next target to the right is quicker for when the right barrel fires. Being left handed myself, shooting from right to left when allowed, and having several different side by sides, I never saw a need or desire to do it.

Fillmore For a right hander it makes the follow up shot easier to manage - after the first shot the finger can slide off the forward trigger right onto the rearward trigger...much better. Leftys need not apply... GG ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply for right handers can find the back trigger faster and easier. Lefty's already have the back trigger sticking out at them so no need to change for them.

Fillmore Sorry Fillmore! I thought you were making a funny there. Like the others said- to pick up a bit more speed. Stock trigger configuration puts the front trigger on the right side of the two. When your finger leaves the front trigger you have to move it behind and to the left of the front. Swap them, and after your finger leaves the front trigger (now on the left side of the two) you pull it straight back and take your second shot. You might not think it would be that much difference- I didn't either until yesterday. I was very surprised and extremely happy with the results. If that peaks your interest I would encourage you to see if someone at your club has one for you to try! Best regards, Two Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
