1. I plan to reduce the amount of slack in the trigger by taking a mold of the trigger bar, and widening it out in the back where it contacts the underside of the hammer. This is where I am getting my slack from, as it is not immediately in contact with the hammer, I plan to make a trigger bar that fits a little tighter. This will not reduce the distance which the trigger has to be pulled, but will reduce how far back you need to pull back your finger.
   
   
2. I plan to reduce the trigger pull distance by, in these same new trigger bars, making the top of them thinner, allowing the trigger bar to come up more, about 1/8th of an inch to be exact, and taking a mold of the trigger, making myself a new one with a longer connection to the trigger bar (1/8th") so that it fits in, this will be like switching to a larger gear in a bicycle.
   
   
3. I plan to use a very slightly lighter hammer spring to compensate for the additional force needed to move the trigger, somewhat.
   
   
4. I plan to modify the slide release for some additional grip, currently I have relegated myself to sling shot, I do not like that, it isn't as quick, messes with my grip, and just plain out isnt how I train, ima fix my s*** God d*** it!!!
   
   
5. I plan to modify the grip module assembly to use the 226 style push down magazine release, this will be especially difficult for the reason that I have very little room to work with on a prototype, since I use small grips. it may not be possible on a small due to a lack of space in the walls of the grip, however it was the magazine release being hard to get at which caused me to make the switch to small grips in the first place, and I am confident in my ability to make this work on a medium. Another trouble is that I will have to modify every magazine I have and will get for the P250

But before these plans, I plan to go to the movies with a girl that I crushed hard on in early 2010, and lost contact with until very recently.

she is very pretty, wish me luck!

I guess the question really should be, what are her plans? Shawn

Interesting... Let us know how the P250 turns out!

Sounds like alot of work.

Oh man, is this trigger bar a b****!

prolly cause im using all hand tools, since im too poor for some advanced techno-gizmo like a micrometer or anything that runs on electricity =P

I've finally gotten done using a file to grind this piece of metal down to proper thickness for a trigger bar, I already have it roughly shaped (siloette sorry spelling), so all I gotta do is bend the lil piece in the back that goes under the FCU and into the hammer, carve out a groove so the metal can get in there and not just hit the frame of the FCU, then I have to drill a small hole and carve a groove (im not crimping too much work lol) so I can get the trigger bar spring in there, carve a lil hole for the trigger

but before I carve this second, precision demanding hole, I will have to make the new trigger.

For that I bought a cheap steel mailbox for like 15 bucks. The metal isnt as hard, I feel like with a lil bit of effort I can bend flat pieces using my hands. That will make it easy to work with. I dont need it to be tough, I just need a good couple shots out of it to make sure the mechanism works, and I plan to use something anodized black for the finished product. (or maybe taking a mold of it with some plaster and melting some black kydex in it?)

Woe is me, I can't get that all done today, and I work tomorrow, at a job 2 hours driving one way there, and 12 hours posted after that... *sigh* no free time for me. v_v

Well lucky me, something I had thought of earlier, consulting a jeweler, turned out to be the correct course of acting after all.

Not for making new parts like I was thinking, but for the tools and know how needed to carve such small designs.

here is my new trigger bar, just gotta put the holes in it and I'm one step closer to victory

making the trigger is gonna be the real pain, much more precision oriented what with fitting it in the FCU and into the trigger bar at the same time...

Just curious how those modifications are going.

Vetteguy904

really? that's your reply?

PICS! we want PICS (and not of the 250 i know what THAT looks like!)

serious, if you can make it work, and figure a way to make it into a DIY kit I bet more than a few will pony up

PICTURES! I work in a jewelry shop, so I've got molding equipment and I could probably spin cast steel.

Oh man I'm sorry guys, I forgot to mention that I found a guy who did the job. He did it the opposite way though. I wanted to make a tighter trigger bar to fit the frame of the fuck and take out the play, he made a bigger frame to fit the bar.

Im pretty sure my way is less efficient, but it is definitely more DIYable.

Unfortunately for this project, I've picked up a new girlfriend and her 2 kids so I've got less time than when I was working.if anyone is interested in picking up where I left off I can send details. I wasn't in this for the money.

FCU not fuck...damn auto correct

I might be able to continue this project when I get my reenlistment bonus in like January
