Hey mylife - you asked a while back about the Bodyguard 380 and trigger job.

I did the work a few months ago and finally got to the range to try it.

The trigger job was pretty easy, hardest work was to cleanly knock out a roll pin.

Today I compared it side by side with my son’s stock bodyguard (happy Father’s day!). The kit moved the trigger break up which was good - on the stock model sometimes it feels like it will never fire, and it feels like it may move around. The mod made it sooner and more consistent.

But it’s still very long. I didn’t measure the force, but it didn’t seem to change much.

Here’s the kit:

Thanks Mate.

I like tinkering, sadly God as given me old eyes eyes and made my hands a bit wonky, so pins and springs get frustrating.

I have a Polish P 64 that has an excellent SA trigger, crisp and light, but the Da trigger is among the worst the world has ever seen ((maybe 13 lbs)

It is my understanding that that can be fixed using an after market Walther PPK trigger spring
