Review
The trigger pull of my P-11 measured out at 11 pounds 7 ounces. Definitely in need of improvement. I thought I would try the MCARBO trigger spring kit. Upon receiving the kit, I found it to be of good quality - no burrs or distorted areas on the springs. The installation process was aided by the clear and concise video provided. Well done. This would be a great place to tie in the flat trigger installation process, there are differences in the processes and the pistol is disassembled to the required level at this point. I did partially install the factory trigger just to see how it went, then switched to the flat trigger. The process has a difficulty rating of 3 on a scale of 5. Some care is required. I must mention that my P-11 had a heavier trigger pull than most. The result of the installation provided a smooth trigger pull averaging 7 pounds 6 ounces. Not exactly what I had hoped for, but far better than it was!
I installed this spring upgrade kit on a Kel-Tec P11. This really lightened the trigger pull on my pistol. Not sure the firing pin spring really made any noticeable difference but the hammer spring was a vast improvement. It really smooths out the extremely long DAO pull on this gun. The price was right, too. Install was pretty straightforward if you have some experience with disassembling guns. The Kel-Tec product videos are a great guide if you need help.
I just finished installing MCARBO's upgrades to my PF9: flat trigger, trigger spring kit, hammer spring, and 20-lb. recoil spring. Except for my forgetting to move the hammer block out of way (which prevents you from finishing reassembly), everything went smoothly. Vastly reduced trigger pull force and improved release. I have not yet shot the gun, but expect my grouping to tighten up a lot! One other note: Upon reinstalling my Crimson Trace, that device interfered with the trigger pull. Had to shave down the CT's plastic inside of the trigger guard slightly (with a utility knife) so that the trigger would clear it. No big deal.
Reduced my trigger pull from 6 pounds to 3 1/2 pounds . It still has the long Kel Tec trigger pull . Just easier .
Changing these springs makes a world of difference in the trigger pull; add in the flat trigger and it is even better! I checked with my gage, and went from 5.5 lbs(I'd already done some work on it) to 4.0 lbs- and very smooth. Test firing with 6 types of ammo to check for primer strike was successful, no problems with any ammo. Super improvement - makes the PF 9 feel like a different pistol- and one that is easy/fun to shoot.
Awesome guality. Instructional videos are unbelievably clear and precise. Anyone can be a gunsmith with these videos. Very satisfied !!!!
It's all about control. I couldn't be happier with the gunsmith work completed on my Keltec PF-9 and the P-11. For the PF-9 a SS guide rod, a 20lb recoil spring, the 3 piece trigger spring kit and an aluminum flat target trigger. For the P-11 a SS guide rod, the 20lb recoil spring and the 3 piece trigger spring kit. ( I wish they made a flat trigger for the P-11 ) These MCARBO modifications have made both firearms far superior to the Keltec factory standard.
This was very easy to install and it is a lot of fun to shoot now. Use the videos provided by MCARBO take you time. You got this. Thanks MCARBO
Took 6 lb trigger to 3lb 2oz. Works great. Now this weapon will be in my carry rotation.
I installed the aluminum flat trigger and reduced power spring kit. Easy installation with a few basic tools. 100% reliable and a huge improvement to the trigger.
I gave this trigger spring kit a 5 as it is everything Mcarbo say it is, I'm very impressed with ease of install and speed of which Mcarbo got this product to my front door (they shipped it the same day I ordered) and highly recommend this kit
I ordered the trigger, guide rod, recoil spring & spring kit for the Keltec PF 9. good service & easy install with the You tube video from M carbo. 20 minutes to lock & load. I can feel the difference.
Murphy's law was at work trigger pin was brutal to remove which isn't the fault of Mcarbo . Reason for four stars is I have had a few light firing pin strikes which of course led to failure to fire . Definitely a lighter trigger pull .
I HAVE ORDERD M*CARBO PRODUCTS AND I CAN TRUEFULLY SAY THEY ARE THE BEST MADE ON THE MARKET.
Great product. Super easy with the help of the installation video.
I needed a reasonably priced small pistol for deep concealment when working a detail and I purchased the PF9 as I did not want a .380, I felt the need for a bit more power. Any engagement would have been at very close range, so I lived with the trigger the way it came. On the range, my accuracy was fine to qualify, but I was displeased as I demand much more of myself. I must say I did not expect the level of improvement that the trigger kit added, as I said in the title it is like a whole new gun. The new trigger offers much better control and provides a whole new level of confidence in the pistol. Thank you M*Carbo for offering a way to improve this pistol.
