IZH Trigger Instructions

[rick983]

My instructions which came with the pistol are quite vague concerning trigger adjustments. It tells you which screw controls what, but doesn't tell you which way to turn them to decrease/increase pull, creep and the such. I'd like to know before I go twisting on the screws. Can somebody help?
Thanks

rick983,
You didn't say which IZH model, air or cartridge.
try this link for details on trigger setup for the cartridge gun, IZH-35M:

I meant the IZH46 air pistol.

Sorry, I can't help you there.

I suggest that you avoid touching any of the adjustments until you have been shooting the gun for a while. Perhaps the only adjustment you might want to deal with eventually is the trigger weight. I will agree that the instructions are extremely confusing and I left them alone---didn't have the gun for long---a friend of mine made goo-goo eyes at it and I haven't seen it since. Usually with handguns such as these I have the attitude---it left the factory adjusted---leave it alone. BTW I now shoot a Morini 162E and if you think those instructions are any clearer--fogedaboudit. For myself personally the original Russian or German instructions are the best as they were with the TOZ---IMHO

I looked at the trigger schematic on pilkguns website and am more confused than ever. There are three creep adjustment screws! A preliminary, reserve and final. Can anybody please explain all the differences in simple english. I don't have a PHD from MIT and confess to being confused by three different creep adjustments. Thanks in advance.

A - Trigger stop
B - Sear engagement
C - Weight adjustment
D - Trigger position adjustment
F - First stage takeup

Hope this helps.

Rick, I just ended up playing around with mine until I figured it out. The threads on the various screws are fine enough that you need to turn them a few times to feel any difference. It has been long enough ago that I can't remember what did what(doh). I did need to adjust the weight of the trigger as it was at a breathe on it to shoot lightness. It is now 510 grams. I am convinced that no one else knows either, as this question has been asked a couple of times and the answer is always the referral to the drawing that our gracious host has archived. Another suggestion is to talk to someone that you shoot with that has adjusted the trigger on their own pistol. and see how it compares to the break on yours. Good luck and let us know what you come up with. I usually read everything about the IZH46s that comes up here. If you or any one else knows of any other sites that discuss this pistol lets network and get that info passed to everyone that shoots one of these fine pistols.
