Had local gunsmith install the MCarbo trigger and related spring kit. Results are outstanding. The feel is a huge upgrade. I recommend this for all Sig pistols. Thank you
I just installed my mcarbo Sig 365 trigger a few days ago. Being a gunsmith I honestly have to say it wasn't too tricky but might be a bit much for those not mechanically inclined....video was very good...definitely make the spring tool out of a small screwdriver. Also if you have the manual safety lever (mine did) you need to rotate it out first, before you continue the video.... Since you have everything apart I would suggest polishing both sear surfaces...it makes the trigger break much cleaner. Great trigger and company... keep up the good work. BTW I saw the titanium striker is available 4/1....I ordered one today...the factory plastic sleeve just doesn't cut it on such a nice pistol...Happy Easter JC conquered death for us all...how cool is that!
After installing slide safety will not go down enough to allow the slide to be put on. Had to file the trigger down so that it would move far enough forward to allow the slide safety to drop down.
Trigger was out of spec. After installed, slide saftey lever doesn't completely rest flat. Had a gunsmith shave off material on the top of the trigger, he had to file off way too much just to get the slide to barely clear (still a pain in the ass to get my slide on) the saftey lever. Now the trigger sits way too far forward. Don't even bother with this trigger.
Great product great service
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!
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.
