I love my 350 magnum but my only complaint is the plastic trigger. It is too slippery if my finger has any kind of moister on it and it don't like the way the front of the trigger is convexed. Does anybody make an aftermarket trigger or would I have to do it myself?
Thanks,
Mike
There are a few aftermarket triggers, a search of the forum will hunt up a link. One was posted yesterday or the day before, actually. Can't remember the thread, tho...
That said, the plastic trigger is a fine piece. If you really feel you must replace it, have at it. You could also consider roughing the face of it with a fine file. Triggers are all about feel, and we all have our own preferences. If I were you (and I ain't!), I'd try to become accustomed to the existing trigger. Didja know most match rifles have plastic blades, because the shooters can be distracted by the cold feel of aluminum or steel?
Literally, I just did this this morning and it works!
Its dirt cheap, allows your trigger finger even consistant pressure throughout the trigger "pull" and is reversable. How much better can it be? Heck, I don't know because I just did it and its working great for me.
Emory paper and a gel type glue.
Simply match up and cut a slice of emory paper and swaba little gel glue on the trigger blade surface. Stick-um and hold-um. Thirty or so seconds later, problem solved.
Oh, take the piece you cut to the form fit the blade and bend it aournd a few times to loosen it up to follow the multiple bend surfaces of the trigger blade. It'll also stick the way you want it to, on the blade itself, better.
A foot of the emory paper cost me 39 cents for a foot of the stuff.
i had a simular problem on a metel trigger with sharp edges and what i used was molesskin which is easy to use and has a adhesive on the back of it already . if you have never hear of it it is a protection pad that is very soft and hikers use it to place on there hot spots like around a heel so blisters will not form from the rubbing.it is sold at all rite-aids longs the like where foot powders are located and it has a very soft feel to it . just a idea. marvin
Thanks guys, I think I'll try the sand paper on the trigger. Don't get me wrong, I love the way the trigger breaks on the gun. It is caomparable to many of my high end rifles. It was just a little slippery when moist. Thanks for your replys,
Mike
I was going to suggest a trigger shoe I have 2 dianas with shoes on them and at first I didn't think I would care for it but now I couldn't live without.
I wish all my guns had the RWS plastic trigger. My centerfires, shotguns, rimfires, etc. That said, try just wrapping a very small piece of "duct tape" around the trigger. You can always take it off later and makes a great grip. I use it on my cell phone, which I use to drop all the time. Works great.
I have used a piece of leather turned backside (rough side)out.
Mounted it with Hy-Bond 80 contact cement.Its soft removable and your finger won't slide even when you sweat in the summer, and on metal triggers it will keep your trigger finger from freezing in the winter.Is cold in Mi.
