I did the spring upgrade and the flat trigger upgrade on my P365 SAS. I thought my Sig was pretty good out of the box. With the upgrades, it's a whole new handgun! Much more accurate and comfortable. I've got a few friends that have P365's in different flavors that will hear about this stuff. Thanks for the improvements and keep up the good work!
Installing this one took a while, great video by the way. I didn't feel like it made much difference after installation. Overall feel wasn't dramatically changed, could barely tell anything had happened at all... ...but then I took it to the range. Significant improvement in accuracy, lowering of mental engagement necessary when shooting to make those shots which allowed more though put to movement, useful at further ranges, etc. Very pleased with the change. No, it's not night and day but it's a heck of an upgrade for $20 and very useful.
This is a high quality spring kit that certainly helped improve my 365. I wish I had access to an electronic pull testing device to see how much less the pull weight actually is. Keep in mind, the 365 has a very good stock trigger. A few months back, I had installed a Sig flat trigger and since it was apart, I Dremel polished all the internals. I could tell an immediate difference after that: mush smoother, removed that little bit of grittiness that was there. Then I installed the MCARBO springs last night. The video was extremely helpful. 98% of the disassemble I had done prior with the flat trigger. That last small spring and reinstall of the pin that holds it in place was the worst. Took me about an hour overall to clean, disassemble, and reassemble, but worth it in the end. Not to discount the springs, but the biggest drop in pounds of pull or quality of pull was from the internal polish work. The Mcarbo kit just was the icing on the cake!
Product arrived ahead of scheduled delivery date. There are a couple tricky steps to this spring change but nothing overly difficult. A well lite, clean work space as always is recommended.
I was about to sell my P365XL because the trigger sucked which was a shame because I had just purchased the Holosun HS507K-X2. I put plenty of rounds through it and polished it without a positive change. The trigger pull still measured 4 lbs as before but it feels like a nice rolling break. Before it would be stiff, inconsistent, and almost felt like it was catching on a burr or something. Took it to the range today and loved the grouping and feel of the gun now. Decided to keep it. I should have done this upgrade first. The trigger feels smoother and it has a more consistent break now. If you have the 365 get this spring kit. Its definitely worth the price.
Did the install. I have always taken my firearms to my local gunsmith, however after observing the video a few times I eventually developed the courage To do it on my own. It took about 30 minutes. Best advised is to get familiar with the step as they are detail enough to do it on your own. The strike spring didn’t seem much different from the factory, but I replaced it anyways. I have to say that the trigger feels better and lighter. I mainly invested in this product because of the mush feel right before you get to the wall. It definitely decreases the feel to the point it’s nonexistent “the trigger actually has a wall now” compared to before. For $20 dollars and considering you can do this yourself without any special tools, I strongly recommend this product. Great communication as well from MCARBO!
I just purchased and installed this aftermarket spring set from MCarbo. The products look well fabricated and quality finished. In my particular circumstance however, my trigger pull was only improved by approximately half a pound of pull weight, so the improvement was not truly noticeable, but it was an improvement. I also did not notice or feel any significant improvement in the trigger travel distance, the trigger reset or overall trigger mush. Apparently other people see and feel more noticeable improvements in their P365 trigger than I did, so this is still a good product. I wish there was a better trigger improvement for the P365 on the market to reduce the long trigger pull, laggy trigger reset and trigger pull weight to a consistent 4 to 4.5 pounds. For now, the MCarbo spring set is a decent option to minimize the pull weight of the P365.
Be careful when you replace the rear plate on the slide. It is lightweight plastic and the piece that you pry on is very flimsy. They did not mention this but mine kind of folded in. Looks like it will be alright but looking for a complete striker now.
Kit arrived on time and well packaged. Installation video is mostly good. Be aware that, if you have a newer model, the back plate removal is much different. I was able to find help on the Interwebz. The trigger is less mushy with a crisper break. The difference is not huge, but I am glad I installed the kit and recommend it to P365 XLDavi owners.
I really love this lighter trigger. Accuracy is improved too. Easily installed with video.
I was kind of intimidated on doing it and then I watched the video on YouTube and it shows step by step what to do .....simple....... Glad I did it I like the results......
Installing this kit with the flat trigger led to a whole crap moment of no more crunchy factory trigger and hello to something that feels like quality
Just installed the spring kit in my XL using the install video. Great detailed video and the trigger feels great. I highly recommend these guys. Their shipping and handling time was fast also.
Sear spring is good and striker block spring is ok. The striker spring is awful and I think they need to include a trigger return spring that is a little stronger. Out of 100 rounds Winchester 9mm 115gr I had 42 light strikes taking those 42 and re running them a 2nd time I had 38 light strikes! 38 out of 42 still didn't fire. I have never had a light strike till I put this spring in. I will go back to oem spring on the striker. but it sucks to waste money if you can use the parts
Once installed along with the flat milled trigger I received a solid 3.6 lbs of trigger pull and crisp trigger with no slack and minimal reset.
The kit was as advertised, and the video MCarbo produced was excellent. For a P365 starting at 7ish pound pull, it would be a great improvement. For my P365XL, starting at about 5 lbs, it made very little difference - trigger pulls are 4.5 - 5 lbs, and I doubt I would be able to tell the difference if I had before and after side-by-side.
