Step-by-Step Installation Guide: Grayguns P365 Straight Trigger
1. Safety First: Always ensure your firearm is unloaded and clear of any ammunition. Visually inspect and physically verify this step multiple times. This is the most crucial step in the entire process.
2. Disassembly: Follow the Sig Sauer P365 takedown procedure to safely disassemble your pistol. This typically involves removing the slide. Consult your Sig Sauer P365 owner's manual for the precise steps.
3. Trigger Removal: Locate the trigger pin(s). Carefully remove the pin(s) using the small-diameter punch and nylon mallet. Take your time, using gentle taps. Once the pin(s) are removed, the trigger assembly should be free.
4. Installing the Grayguns Trigger: Carefully compare the Grayguns trigger components to your original trigger parts, paying close attention to their orientation and position.
5. Reassembly: Carefully insert the Grayguns trigger assembly back into the firearm, ensuring it is properly aligned. Insert the pins and gently tap them back into place using the nylon mallet. Avoid excessive force.
6. Trigger Adjustment: Use the Allen wrenches included with the Grayguns kit to adjust the trigger pull weight to your preference. Refer to the Grayguns instructions for precise adjustment procedures and recommended settings. Small adjustments are key here; avoid making large changes at once.
7. Reassemble the Pistol: Carefully reassemble your Sig Sauer P365, following the reverse of the takedown procedure. Once again, ensure all parts are correctly seated.
8. Test Fire (At a Range): After completing the installation, always test fire your firearm at a certified shooting range. This allows you to confirm functionality and proper trigger operation in a safe environment. Start with a slow, deliberate pace and gradually increase your firing rate. This is a crucial step to confirm all parts are properly assembled and functioning.
Troubleshooting Potential Issues
- Pin Binding: If a pin is binding, use a drop of gun oil to lubricate it and try again. Avoid excessive force.
- Trigger Feels Stiff: If your trigger feels excessively stiff after installation, re-check the alignment and components before attempting any adjustments to prevent damage.
- Inconsistent Trigger Pull: This likely indicates improper installation or alignment. Carefully re-examine each step.
If you encounter any issues you can't resolve, seek the assistance of a qualified gunsmith.
