Trigger conversion for LP10

[AAlex]

Anyone knows if any dealer can do the ball-bearing trigger conversion for LP10 and how much it would cost?

Before anyone chimes in that the difference isn't worth the price - yes, I know. I want it - all reason be damned : )

A friend of mine had it done in the UK by our main Steyr service agent, and I think it cost him about 100 pounds. So you should be able to get it done locally.

I know one shooter who let it do by the Steyr service during the France national and is very statisfied. The price was about 75Euros what is also the price mentionned on the German Steyr web site.

In Germany the price is 72 Euros + shipping giving a total of 82 Euros. My gun dealer handled it for me.

The gun was something like 15 days out of my hand. Do not forget to empty the cylinder.
cheers

..that the difference isn't worth the price - yes, I know...

While being in the shop and testing the dry-firing I was a bit disappointed, admittedly.

To my really really big surprise: Today, when I finally found the time to actually shoot with it - this baby is totally different gun.
...what a difference a trigger makes...
If someone else would have said this my reaction would have been "dream on.."

Now you've piqued my interest. Scott do you do the retro-fit?

That just means that, irrespective of whether it makes the trigger any better, it is well worth the money.

"If only I had a .............." can only be detrimental to performance, and it only takes money to cure the problem.

Now you've piqued my interest...

Just some additional information:

In a German forum the new trigger found a positive reception too (some 10 entries on that topic) - but not all noticed a difference.

My gun dealer (an experienced AP shooter) has organized a couple of the replacements. He was pretty neutral about the result, some of his customer's comments were positive others not.

In my club two collegues have new triggers and they feel the difference. They are positive about the change but I am so far the only enthusiastic one about it.

As a project manager by training, planning is my second name. So I went shooting with the plan of pursuing my fundamental goals: Focus on sights and "silence in the forearm" (which is my personal formula for preventing/subduing unwanted movements of hand and wrist - of course subduing is in the Zen sense not the most promising approach because whatever you do perform it holistically, wholeheartedly..).

Since I was not overly impressed with the new feel of the trigger, it occured to me just casually on my way to the range: "Oh yeah, and I am trying the new trigger as well.."

Maybe, my mind was unsusually open/unbiased for the new experience and the sensation (and it was one) will wane in the future - time will tell.

Regarding the competition score: The best shooters are probably not the most sensitive ones but the ones with a sort of sturdy mentality - which perceive less but sidestep this by performing well under pressure...
