got the pistol today
the packaging is adult proof
now the pistol after i few shots
the sights are worthless
the trigger is as bad as i have ever had
so, with those 2 items accuracy will never happen
grips are big so for a youth that could be a real problem
cock is very easy which makes all the rest a real shame
the grip safety is there for what other then make it seem to be 1911ish
not real heave and sets in the hand well at least for me
now i think pinning the grip safety could be in the works
disassembly would be a total thing whereas it is just 2 clam shells with all the gut inside and that make experimenting harder
so, at this point i need to find the right Phillips screwdriver and a box
would i ever recommended the pistol not at this time
now if they had put a weaver rail in the castings for a Reflex sight that would have solved one problem, the grip safety was a waste of time and even a 30 to 40% better trigger would have made me go everyone needs one but without that no one needs one
i will be looking under the hood stay tuned

so, opened up it came and to my surprise a very complicated trigger group

you have the grip safety that blocks the triggers rearward movement

it has a forward spring that is retained on the grip safety

has a upper pin that acts as the upper sear reset spring attached

the trigger has a spring in the slide assembly that has to be compressed to reach the lower sear and it acts as a trigger reset

push the lower sear and that disengaged the upper sear

both upper and lower have reset springs

so why is the trigger so heavy because of the main sporing pressure on the upper sear

can the grip safety be pinned YES

can the trigger be made lighter yes some the trigger return spring can be lighten and at the same time engagement can be made to happen faster HOW

use lighter spring and fill the inside of the spring with a grub screw

now the rest

you can make the area that the upper and lower sear engage less, making the trigger pull fast

all the lower sear is doing is clearing the upper sear

the weaver mount should be straight forward you have plenty of barrel top to work with and epoxy will be your friend

well time to think a bit and try i few things

will it be a target pistol no but a project it can be

they did a lot right things and then just gave up, you can see the trigger group has had much thought put into it

my read on this pistol

SO COULD THE TRIGGER BE IMPROVED
YES
first off, the 2 sears are very well made, they are thick and smooth high quality piece
terminality
upper sear
lower sear
trigger bar
changes
the upper sear had its contact point reduced 0.8-1.00mm
the trigger bar had a drill end of 1.67mm added with epoxy
the grip safety had the internal pin removed so it no longer stopped the trigger bar
all contact points plus got Ultimox 226 applied
the trigger pull is firm but breaks crispy vs the hard pull that was from the factory

so was this a waste of time on a cheap pistol YES-NO-MAYBE
THIS IS WHAT A TINKERER DOES
now i spent hours at this
my first trigger bar lengthening was 1.98mm so that .31mm made all the difference
now with the trigger mod and seeing it is easy to cock it would be a great youth pistol BUT the sights have to be addressed and i think a weaver mount and some epoxy and a reflex sight would do that
