Love my sccy cpx2. Just bought the kit yesterday. Received it today and it is already installed. Flawless install due to this detailed instruction video.
MCARBO Chris, I am a big fan of Fobus paddle holsters outside the waistband. I am having difficulty trying to locate one. Might you be able to get your hands on one or point me in the right direction? What is your recommendation for a good 0WB for the CPX2? I’m looking for something with a slim profile that won’t print. Something plain and simple no bells and whistle ‘s.
This is one of the best installation videos I've ever saw. I wanted to see how hard it would be and I'll be ordering one of these very soon. I can't wait to get that sweet trigger pull!
Nice job. Very detailed instructions, showing assemblies at different angles to note orientation, lots of emphasis on the really important parts, and very bright lighting. This is how training should be. All appreciated.
I haven't read all the comments so maybe it's here already. But for the firing pin spring I wasn't able to pin together by hand like in the video. But, I used a 2" C type clamp to hold things in place and it worked perfectly. Just some advice...
I installed this upgrade yesterday and at first had problems. After I had taken the internals apart again I realized that I did not have the pin on the trigger pivot fully installed. I could feel the pin sticking out a tiny bit using my fingernail. That little bit of pin sticking out did not allow the trigger to be fully seated which made the trigger pivot not fully seat which made the trigger pivot rub against the inside of the body of the firearm. Anyway after fully seating the pin and putting everything back together everything worked properly. The trigger pull is definitely much lighter. Thanks Mcarbo
Probably one of the best narrated, best visual, best descripted, and best UA-cam I have ever seen. It was so helpful and gave me so much confident in doing my own trigger change. Thanks so much
I recently retired from the injection molding company that made all the plastic components, including the CPX-2 frame, for SCCY. I love the design, love the size, but didn't like the heavy trigger pull. Because it's a double action pistol, I use my CPX-2 for in home laser practice but because of the heavy trigger pull, practice time was limited due to hand fatigue. I just finished installing the M*Carbo replacement springs and am blown away by the difference. I am not a gunsmith but with the simple tools and your clear and concise video, I was able to change out the factory springs in roughly 45 minutes. Thank you for your military service, and high-quality work product you put out.
DUDE!!!!! I followed your video to the Letter and just finished installing my new M-CARBO Trigger spring kit on my CPX-2!!! WOW, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! THANK YOU!!!
I’ve got to say that you are likely the best presenter I’ve ever seen. There’s not one single place where I had one of those “ damn I wish you’d show which way that goes, better focus ect” moment. This little gun can be a bit gnarly hooking those pins to parts and this presentation makes it as idiot proof as it can possibly be. Out of 5 stars I’ll give it a 👍🏻10👍🏻
Nice! I bought a cpx2 just because it was so inexpensive but I really like it. I shoot it all the time. Thank you Mcarbo for this. It will make it so much more enjoyable to shoot. Keep the great products coming.
One of the best explained videos I have ever seen and I don't even own this pistol. I watched the whole video. Makes me want too buy this pistol just to swap the trigger out. Keep up the great videos👍👍
I'm very happy to report that the new springs made a BIG difference in how the trigger feels... Gun cycles perfectly... Silky smooth and effortless pull yet still feels very safe. Best upgrade for SCCY pistols out there! Two thumbs up M*CARBO.
okay then... Just finished the install. Also polished the daylights out of the trigger transfer bar.. Polished the inside edges of the feed lips on both magazines.... I love this CPX2 RD and it is so much lighter now.. 4.4 lbs... Polished the feed ramp.. This firearm for the price is a VALUE!!!
I just installed this upgrade today and it made a very worthwhile difference. The gun even seems to cycle better. I have much more confidence with it now. The only kicker on mine was that I have a CPX 1 with the thumb safety. It had to be removed using a very small torx to take out the retaining screw.
I just installed these on my 3 SCCYs and I am now a true believer in this spring kit. It changed my pistols completely. Trust me if you own a sccy you need this kit. My SCCYs are now so much more easy to fire and accuracy is so much better.
just upgraded the trigger... world of difference. much better shooter now. Well worth the 25 bucks! Excellent step by step video. Even I could follow it!
I got my M Carbo spring kit the other day and I am absolutely happy with it. Easy to install and perfect functionality. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Great job M Carbo.
Installed this on cpx2,made it a 4 lb trigger,works great,no glitches,shot 300 rounds so far and no probs,bought 1 for an ar build,very nice also,great work Mcarbo
Just installed and shot 30 rounds with the new spring kit. Its a night and day difference. My accuracy improved generally but esp. with a more rapid rate of fire. Thanks for taking a pistol with a terrible trigger and making it decent!
@@mikaylacollins you have to take the little flat head micro screw out of the safer lever. Then carefully slide it out an watch to make sure the little detent doesn't get lost an goes back in the same way. Just did mine
@@honda90084 How did you get the rear pin out of the receiver? It's giving me fits. The front pin came out fairly easy, but the rear pin ended up bending my punch. I'm waiting on some more punches now.
This is a great instructional video. One tip for anyone buying this kit. If you don't have 30 something thumbs (like me) make sure the trigger pivot is FULLY seated. At the 20:36 mark he gave the trigger pivot a push and seated it with his thumb :) I had to use a short nylon rod as a punch and a couple light taps with a little ball peen hammer. Trigger is now ~3.5 lighter and MUCH smoother. Thanks MCARBO !!
I got my spring kit and some gunsmithing tools this afternoon. Watched the video for the second time as I installed the kit in less than 45 minutes. Nothing to it! Both of my brothers have the same pistol, so I’ll be doing theirs as well. Can’t wait to fire it! Thanks for your instruction!
Thank You MCABO! I purchased my CPX2 over 6 years ago and it has served me very well. It was my first 9mm and I have loved owning this pistol. I moved on to make other purchases like Glocks, Sigs, and Smith & Wesson's to name a few. One of my reasons for doing so was the heavy trigger pull of the Sccy. After purchasing, installing, and shooting my cpx2 I am happy to report that this little pistol is back in the rotation of my cc choices. Excellent product and instructional video. Most importantly, it worked to reduce the heavy trigger pull in half. If you are a SCCY owner, please do yourself the favor of upgraded your pistol. The difference truly is incredible.
I have installed two kits on my new SCCY CPX-2's (very close serial #'s) with my usual polishing/lubrication of sliding and rotating components...moly grease for the former and synthetic oil for the latter. Per my Lyman trigger pull gauge the first started at 7.5# and the second at 7.0# (note that the speed of pulling back on the Lyman results in markedly different values especially in a long pull DA trigger so I completed many series trying to remain consistent). After installing the kits the first came back at 5# and the second at 4.5# again completing many series of pulls. As someone said the frame pins are difficult to drive out...an understatement. I used some "Ed's Red" and took my time protecting the polymer frame with tape as needed and a heavy hammer. As an aside going thru installing the kit allows you to understand what makes this pistol work as well as polishing parts etc. Subjectively both have markedly improved trigger pulls, smooth as silk, but heavy enough to be safe for carry without an integral trigger safety. For me well worth the effort, education and cost of the kit.
I performed this upgrade after watching the video. I can say the stock trigger on mine was dreadful,a great improvement and a great tutorial video. Thank you!
My CPX-2 was probably 9+ lbs pull my gauge only goes to 8.5, after installing the spring kit it’s at 6.5lbs, not quite the reduction they got in the video but a nice reduction none the less, the wifey is happy so I am too😁
I purchased a kit for for a SCCY CPX 2 RD. It has made all the difference in the world. Before the change, the gun was nice to hold but when shooting, the pull was hard and consistency an issue. The kit is great! Thank you, its a really nice upgrade for a wonderful pistol.

My CPX 2 was manufactured in 2013. The trigger return spring is a different style, straight tail fits in groove under trigger bar. Had to use the factory spring. Still this kit brought mine from 8.5 .lbs to 4.75 .lbs.
I just recieved my mcarbo trigger kit and installed it om my cpx 2, 9mm, Iwas so hard to do follow us with the old springs.and when i got through with installing the the 4 lb trigger kit, what a difference it made.I now enjoy shooting it.with no FTF. I give this gun a thumbs up.
Love the 4-pound trigger! Mine was very easy to install, following your excellent video. My brothers have the same pistol, and we could not drive the frame pins out with anything we had. Wound up going to a gunsmith for disassembly. But we installed your spring kits with no issue, and all three pistols run sweetly. In fact, yesterday, I took a first-time shooter to the range, and she was drilling bullseyes from 10 yards! I’d recommend this kit to anyone! Thanks!
Just bought a sccy cpx-1 second hand and had no idea rapid fire was like rolling dice. I'm definetly getting this kit and thanks for the detailed video.
I gotta say, your video was detailed and to the point. Just installed the spring kit in my CPX2 and the trigger feels amazing. Can't wait to get to the range this weekend and give it a live fire test. MCARBO was great to deal with. Thanks!
excellent video and product! I have never worked on a firearm before and it was a peace o cake. Now my wife with Rheumatoid Arthritis can pull the trigger with no problems.
Thank you so very much for this very informative video. I bought the spring kit for my CPX2 and the video was spot on. The spring kit works like a charm and it definitely changed the trigger pull. If it wasn’t for this video, I wouldn’t have known that the wrong trigger bar was installed at the factory. They installed the trigger bar for the CPX3 in my CPX2, so I just ordered the correct trigger bar. It shoots just fine, but I want the correct trigger bar for my pistol. Thanks again for both your amazing product and the video.
My son didn't think about changing out the springs in his SCCY CPX-1 before dumping it. He hated the hard trigger pull it had! I, however, bought the CPX-2 due to a really cheap sale price it had and it's coming in tomorrow with this kit due in the day after. I've got a feeling my son will regret dumping his after I left him shoot mine with the new spring kit!! Thanks MCarbo for the great video!!!!
I have a CPX-1 also. I got the slide assembly done without any problems. Working on the receiver assembly, I got the front pin out without any problems. I'm having trouble with the rear pin. I tried to knock it out time and time again. Had to quit cause I bent my 3/32 punch. Now I'm waiting on a few that I ordered. How did you get the rear pin out? It's giving me fits.
Awesome! I have a CPX 2 also & just don't like that long trigger pull. I asked about changing the trigger set up to a repair man & he said it wouldn't make much difference. Well now I'm ordering that & will do it myself with the help of your video! Thank you so much ☺️
Just installed my kit last night. FYI to anyone with a newer CPX-2, SCCY has fixed the issue of the frame pins possibly backing out while shooting by making the pins fit MUCH tighter and using some kind of retaining compound. They were a bear to remove. Expect grip frame damage if you don't use the right tools/techniques. They don't intend for those pins to come out. Also, if you have the Red Dot version, it will need to be removed to install the firing pin spring. I agree with everyone else. Great instructional video.
Just installed my trigger spring kit for the CPX2 Gen3. There are a few things just a little bit different. SCCY changed the way that spring for the trigger holds in place, the previous generations had that "slot" the spring had to wrap around, gen 3 doesn't. Also the pin holding the trigger in place appears to be tapered, it was difficult to replace. All in all, I love the difference in trigger pull. If I can do this, you can.
I'm stuck on that trigger pin on my gen 3...you said it was difficult to replace but not impossible. Do I just use a hammer and punch to get it out just like in the video or is there another trick for the gen 3? I dented the trigger pin hitting it as hard as I could and it still won't budge....
Man I Love this Company !!! Very serious about what you are doing and professional. Thanks for helping us make these and all of the other weapons better !!
Just installed my spring kit. Smooth and light pull. Do not have a pull gauge but compared to my other SCCY I have not done yet it has cut the pull weight easily in half. Easy install took me maybe 20 minutes at the very least. I did clean and oil it during reassembly so it is ready to go. Wanted to go shoot it but the weather is crappy so looks like later in the week I will give it a try. I am sure I will be very pleased with it. Probably will have to order a few more kits soon.
I just got done with my SCCY CPX-1 and it took some time to get it right as I had to deal with the safety. I personally like safety's because it is more likely that an unintended discharge could happen than me needing to be quick draw McGraw. I do practice at the range in drawing and pushing down on the safety as my pistol comes up so as to have it become a muscle memory type reaction. If you 'all don't like a safety that's cool my preference is to have one if possible. One things for sure this is a finicky pistol in that if you don't put something back exactly as he telling us on the video you may have some fun troubleshooting the problem. After slowing down and watching the video a few times I got going. Thanks I appreciate the info. Yeah , and the trigger is now breaking below 5 lbs. consistently. Mid to upper 4's
Just ordered the trigger spring kit. Always hated the 9 pound trigger pull. I have to say, you give me confidence to do this myself. You know how to instruct well. Great job.
I agree Chris gives a very detailed install video on a lot of their products they offer. I'm planning on ordering two of the CPX2 trigger kit's here soon to do my CPX2 and my sons.
I did this spring changeout, thanks to this video, on my newly acquired CPX-2 just a few days ago. I quite like the result. That lighter trigger pull is great and the pistol is accurate given how inexpensive it is. VERY comfortable in the hand. The only (minor) downside to this pistol is the long trigger reset and (less minor) the mag release function. Maybe it's just my pistol but it is hard to get the thumb onto the release button, fairly hard to press it, and the mag doesn't like to just smoothly fall out like the mags from my SA XD-9 and other higher-priced pistols. Beyond that, great little gun and with the trigger job done, nicer still.
Just ordered my kit. I love my CPX2, but I wasn’t aware I needed to pull it back to my chest every time I pulled the trigger. Lol, just kidding. Thanks for a great video.
This is my second one installing, my first SCCY has a nice pull to it, and now my other is just like the first, easy install and fun to put together, as always "Thanks" M*CARBO. Awesome products.
I installed the CPX-4 spring kit today. Took just 4 days to arrive at my house. I found a video on YT that explains how to remove the safety. Would be cool if MCARBO could put one out too in order to support their product, just sayin'. The toughest challenge was to remove the trigger pin. I broke the pin that goes through the trigger holding the trigger spring in the process. Had to manufactur a new one from wire i had. When reassembling the parts you need to pay very, very close attention to the fact that you need to keep the parts in the exact location you put them while adding the next part or you will not get the gun back together working. Reinserting the trigger pin with the spring was the toughest job, again. Hammered the crap out of that thing but it finally seated properly. The rest was working as shown in the videos i used as instructions. It took me 1 hour to put the frame with firing unit back together. That really sucked and i thought i broke the gun but once i managed to keep all parts in place, everything worked as it should. The trigger improved significantly. Haven't been to the range, yet but will on Sunday. If something out of the ordinary happens which would be anything but the gun shooting all types of ammo i give it to eat, I'll report it here. If you plan on doing the trigger spring job yourself, make sure you have the tools and a ton of patience or you will not complete it.
Great kit and video!! Also worth mentioning that sccy sells grip modules of all color seperately and if you wanted a change in color it would be the perfect time to install it along with this kit.
A trick to get the hammer spring reseated. Use a long nose jeweler's needle nose pliers which have no serrations on the jaws. Spread the jaws a little apart & use it to lift up on the seating block. Because you're using it as a "fork", it keeps the seating block square with it's intended location when you lift up on the spring. A flat blade screwdriver causes it to rotate.
Bought the MCARBO spring kit based on the good reviews and video instructions, and a nice punch kit. The pins that hold the plastic grip to the aluminum on my firearm do not “JUST TAP OUT.” I put this lower in a vice and used a large hammer and steel punch. Bent the punch, pin didn’t move. I’m hoping I can purchase a replacement plastic grip from SCCY and I’ll take it to a gunsmith and let him have a try. Upsetting...
@@TS-yk8kb I ended up buying a new frame, reverting back to stock and trading it in on a Taurus G2C. The trigger was lighter, but I had several misfires at the range. Was worth it to me to chalk it up as a loss and get a better “budget gun”. Good luck with yours.
@@robdnice finally got my pins out. I already have a pt111g2, great guns and plan on getting a g3c when prices and stock settle. I got a cpx1rd for the wife and for a fun intro to red dots on pistols. Hope I don't have the misfires.
Great video! Thank you for breaking it down and explaining all there is. Most Videos are short, choppy, visually blurry or shaking. This is top notch quality! Thank you for the help as well as the insanely fast processing and shipping of the components. I will be looking into what other parts are made by MCarbo for all of my weapon systems.
Had mine installed and expected way more. Gunsmith said well its still a double action so dont expect too much. Took it to the range and was able to roll out consecutive headshots. THe gun resets just in time for follow up shots. I typically shoot a Glock with a timmney trigger so theres no comparison, BUT the keyword is budget and that it gets the job done.
well... It is almost always the trigger pull that causes me to pull slightly of target when I fire. High trigger weight and I wind up pulling a bit right and maybe low. So i ALWAYS do what I can to fix the trigger.. With the springs AND a bit of micro polishing using my dremel and some custom made sanding discs from 600 grit up to 3000 on the trigger transfer bar and trigger pivot I am down to 4.2 pull weight. On the sccy cpx 2 with optic.... Holy Hockey puck Batman... even the heavies at my local club are impressed. I have built so many firearms from cz52's, star PD's and of course 1911's... I frigging love this sccy!
Great Company they do great work they have at least five of my weapons from auto-matics to revolvers - great customer service - good video SIR - THIS COMPANY MAKES YOUR WEAPONS / GUN perform 100% BETTER !!!
Very easy to follow, and I know next to nothing about repairing firearms. One thing though... 1) My trigger bar did not have a slot, it had a circle indent that trigger spring fit into. Easy adjustment on the fly, but something to note.
Just bought this gun, came across this video, ordered the kit....Found out that MCARBO is along my way to and from work (Ulmerton & 19 area). I could've stopped by to pick it up dang it!!!...lol
Just installed my spring kit on mine it went from about nine pounds down to 5 and 1/2 to 6 I've only shot the gun probably 30 times so I know it'll get a little bit better definitely a lot better I'm very happy thank you
Received spring kit today & installed today. Same results as mine, 9 down to 5.5-6. The extractor plunger pin was broken, the small end was captured inside the extractor spring. The McCarbo hammer spring was full of what looks like pipe cleaner lint.
great instructional video. my only issue was the back frame pin. broke the grip to get the frame off. I didn't mind though, I was already changing the color.
Holy shit!!! If you actually accomplished to make a sccy trigger even remotely decent then you are like Moses parting the Red Sea. I don't own one but I do have y'all's kit in my 835 mossberg and I use the ar hammer spring on every mil-spec unit I install. Both great products and most of all exceptional customer service 👍💯
Got someone with this gun and seems to struggle with the trigger. Forwarded this to them and see what they think. Had a ruger LCP and ditched that POS because of the trigger. Just reminded me why.
Sweet little trigger job. The video was great! I do wish you would have added the differences with the CPX 1 model safety. I took pictures as I disassembled & did fine except when you tighten the safety don't make it too tight it will restrict the trigger return. Keep up the great work and Thanks for your service.
Bro you sir are by have made the best disassemble and reassemble video explaining every detail to a tee ty for makeing this video. Would love to see more videos like this from others. Would also like to see I what other things we can do to the cpx1/2 pistols

Subjectively both have markedly improved trigger pulls, smooth as silk, but heavy enough to be safe for carry without an integral trigger safety. For me well worth the effort, education and cost of the kit.
You definitely can't pussy-foot around with those pins... I used my heavy hammer to remove them as well.
Awesome! Thanks Michael for sharing your results here.
Just bought this and the polishing kit I was so happy how great both worked. 2 thumbs all the way up!
I performed this upgrade after watching the video. I can say the stock trigger on mine was dreadful,a great improvement and a great tutorial video. Thank you!
Just installed mine, it took me 2 hours but I’m happy with the results I’ve took notice of 😎Trigger action seemed even smoother than before🤯💯
My CPX-2 was probably 9+ lbs pull my gauge only goes to 8.5, after installing the spring kit it’s at 6.5lbs, not quite the reduction they got in the video but a nice reduction none the less, the wifey is happy so I am too😁
I purchased a kit for for a SCCY CPX 2 RD.
It has made all the difference in the world. Before the change, the gun was nice to hold but when shooting, the pull was hard and consistency an issue. The kit is great! Thank you, its a really nice upgrade for a wonderful pistol.
One of the best videos I have ever seen . Very good work !

My CPX 2 was manufactured in 2013. The trigger return spring is a different style, straight tail fits in groove under trigger bar. Had to use the factory spring. Still this kit brought mine from 8.5 .lbs to 4.75 .lbs.
I just recieved my mcarbo trigger kit and installed it om my cpx 2, 9mm, Iwas so hard to do follow us with the old springs.and when i got through with installing the the 4 lb trigger kit, what a difference it made.I now enjoy shooting it.with no FTF. I give this gun a thumbs up.
Awesome! Glad to hear the excellent results!
I have never seen a more instructional video . I just purchased my spring kit and I cant wait to follow your video again step by step on my own cpx-2.
Love the 4-pound trigger! Mine was very easy to install, following your excellent video. My brothers have the same pistol, and we could not drive the frame pins out with anything we had. Wound up going to a gunsmith for disassembly. But we installed your spring kits with no issue, and all three pistols run sweetly. In fact, yesterday, I took a first-time shooter to the range, and she was drilling bullseyes from 10 yards! I’d recommend this kit to anyone! Thanks!
I follow the instruction video, installed the upgraded spring kit and I have not had any issues. No trigger failure no jamming. Thanks M-CARBO
Just bought a sccy cpx-1 second hand and had no idea rapid fire was like rolling dice. I'm definetly getting this kit and thanks for the detailed video.
I’m getting my first gun on Monday just waiting on the paper work, it is a cpx2rd This video really it on point !!! Thanks
After seeing this, a Sccy is now one my list of guns to buy
I gotta say, your video was detailed and to the point.
Just installed the spring kit in my CPX2 and the trigger feels amazing. Can't wait to get to the range this weekend and give it a live fire test.
MCARBO was great to deal with. Thanks!
Just installed the kit in my CPX 2.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!
Great video too made install a snap!
GREAT COMPANY!!
excellent video and product! I have never worked on a firearm before and it was a peace o cake. Now my wife with Rheumatoid Arthritis can pull the trigger with no problems.
Thank you so very much for this very informative video. I bought the spring kit for my CPX2 and the video was spot on. The spring kit works like a charm and it definitely changed the trigger pull. If it wasn’t for this video, I wouldn’t have known that the wrong trigger bar was installed at the factory. They installed the trigger bar for the CPX3 in my CPX2, so I just ordered the correct trigger bar. It shoots just fine, but I want the correct trigger bar for my pistol. Thanks again for both your amazing product and the video.
Got mine on order and can't wait to install it
My son didn't think about changing out the springs in his SCCY CPX-1 before dumping it. He hated the hard trigger pull it had! I, however, bought the CPX-2 due to a really cheap sale price it had and it's coming in tomorrow with this kit due in the day after. I've got a feeling my son will regret dumping his after I left him shoot mine with the new spring kit!! Thanks MCarbo for the great video!!!!
I just installed the spring kit on my CPX-1 and am very impressed!
I have a CPX-1 also. I got the slide assembly done without any problems. Working on the receiver assembly, I got the front pin out without any problems. I'm having trouble with the rear pin. I tried to knock it out time and time again. Had to quit cause I bent my 3/32 punch. Now I'm waiting on a few that I ordered. How did you get the rear pin out? It's giving me fits.
got my spring in the mail today and got them installed. Great tutorial, Thank you. The trigger feel much better. Looking forward to trying my SCCY.
Awesome! Thanks Brother for your support!
Looks like a great upgrade. Went ahead and ordered a kit,🥰
Awesome! I have a CPX 2 also & just don't like that long trigger pull. I asked about changing the trigger set up to a repair man & he said it wouldn't make much difference. Well now I'm ordering that & will do it myself with the help of your video! Thank you so much ☺️
Awesome! Let us know your results and if you think it made a difference!
Great video! Installation was easy. I love the improved tigger pull. I highly recommend this kit for SCCY owners.
i put one of these kits in my 380 sccy and there's a world of differance in the trigger pull . makes it feel like shooting a more exspencive gun.🥰
Just installed my kit last night. FYI to anyone with a newer CPX-2, SCCY has fixed the issue of the frame pins possibly backing out while shooting by making the pins fit MUCH tighter and using some kind of retaining compound. They were a bear to remove. Expect grip frame damage if you don't use the right tools/techniques. They don't intend for those pins to come out.
Also, if you have the Red Dot version, it will need to be removed to install the firing pin spring.
I agree with everyone else. Great instructional video.
Any advise removing frame pins? My pins will not move even after hammering them hard. They must have used locktite on them.
@@dene1196 sorry, this was a few years ago and I don't remember. I don't have the SCCY anymore.
Just installed my trigger spring kit for the CPX2 Gen3. There are a few things just a little bit different. SCCY changed the way that spring for the trigger holds in place, the previous generations had that "slot" the spring had to wrap around, gen 3 doesn't. Also the pin holding the trigger in place appears to be tapered, it was difficult to replace. All in all, I love the difference in trigger pull. If I can do this, you can.
I'm stuck on that trigger pin on my gen 3...you said it was difficult to replace but not impossible. Do I just use a hammer and punch to get it out just like in the video or is there another trick for the gen 3? I dented the trigger pin hitting it as hard as I could and it still won't budge....
Man I Love this Company !!!
Very serious about what you are doing and professional.
Thanks for helping us make these and all of the other weapons better !!
Just installed my spring kit. Smooth and light pull. Do not have a pull gauge but compared to my other SCCY I have not done yet it has cut the pull weight easily in half. Easy install took me maybe 20 minutes at the very least. I did clean and oil it during reassembly so it is ready to go. Wanted to go shoot it but the weather is crappy so looks like later in the week I will give it a try. I am sure I will be very pleased with it. Probably will have to order a few more kits soon.
Awesome! Thanks Jay for sharing the results. Glad to hear it Brother!
I just got done with my SCCY CPX-1 and it took some time to get it right as I had to deal with the safety. I personally like safety's because it is more likely that an unintended discharge could happen than me needing to be quick draw McGraw. I do practice at the range in drawing and pushing down on the safety as my pistol comes up so as to have it become a muscle memory type reaction. If you 'all don't like a safety that's cool my preference is to have one if possible. One things for sure this is a finicky pistol in that if you don't put something back exactly as he telling us on the video you may have some fun troubleshooting the problem. After slowing down and watching the video a few times I got going. Thanks I appreciate the info. Yeah , and the trigger is now breaking below 5 lbs. consistently. Mid to upper 4's
Just ordered the trigger spring kit. Always hated the 9 pound trigger pull. I have to say, you give me confidence to do this myself. You know how to instruct well. Great job.
I agree Chris gives a very detailed install video on a lot of their products they offer. I'm planning on ordering two of the CPX2 trigger kit's here soon to do my CPX2 and my sons.
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Thanks Guys for the Support. Happy to hear the videos are helpful!
Just put the trigger springs in last night. Took about 30 minutes. Followed the Video and had no problems. Thanks for all the good info
^Ditto
just put mine in. Great tutorial took me about 15 min. Make sure you have the appropriate punch's before you start.
Great video, absolutely changes the gun for the better!!!
I did this spring changeout, thanks to this video, on my newly acquired CPX-2 just a few days ago. I quite like the result. That lighter trigger pull is great and the pistol is accurate given how inexpensive it is. VERY comfortable in the hand. The only (minor) downside to this pistol is the long trigger reset and (less minor) the mag release function. Maybe it's just my pistol but it is hard to get the thumb onto the release button, fairly hard to press it, and the mag doesn't like to just smoothly fall out like the mags from my SA XD-9 and other higher-priced pistols. Beyond that, great little gun and with the trigger job done, nicer still.
Thank you for the awesome product and detailed video how to install it. Made my wife’s Cpx2 shootable.
Just ordered my kit. I love my CPX2, but I wasn’t aware I needed to pull it back to my chest every time I pulled the trigger. Lol, just kidding. Thanks for a great video.
This is my second one installing, my first SCCY has a nice pull to it, and now my other is just like the first, easy install and fun to put together, as always "Thanks" M*CARBO. Awesome products.
I installed the CPX-4 spring kit today. Took just 4 days to arrive at my house. I found a video on YT that explains how to remove the safety. Would be cool if MCARBO could put one out too in order to support their product, just sayin'. The toughest challenge was to remove the trigger pin. I broke the pin that goes through the trigger holding the trigger spring in the process. Had to manufactur a new one from wire i had. When reassembling the parts you need to pay very, very close attention to the fact that you need to keep the parts in the exact location you put them while adding the next part or you will not get the gun back together working. Reinserting the trigger pin with the spring was the toughest job, again. Hammered the crap out of that thing but it finally seated properly. The rest was working as shown in the videos i used as instructions. It took me 1 hour to put the frame with firing unit back together. That really sucked and i thought i broke the gun but once i managed to keep all parts in place, everything worked as it should.
The trigger improved significantly. Haven't been to the range, yet but will on Sunday. If something out of the ordinary happens which would be anything but the gun shooting all types of ammo i give it to eat, I'll report it here. If you plan on doing the trigger spring job yourself, make sure you have the tools and a ton of patience or you will not complete it.
Excellent tutorial. All tutorials should be measured against this one for effectiveness!
Changed mine out this weekend video made it EZ..Thank you
Bought this spring kit, followed video instructions, totally different pistol now, very easy to install, nice upgrade to pistol, just do it..
Great kit and video!! Also worth mentioning that sccy sells grip modules of all color seperately and if you wanted a change in color it would be the perfect time to install it along with this kit.
A trick to get the hammer spring reseated. Use a long nose jeweler's needle nose pliers which have no serrations on the jaws. Spread the jaws a little apart & use it to lift up on the seating block. Because you're using it as a "fork", it keeps the seating block square with it's intended location when you lift up on the spring. A flat blade screwdriver causes it to rotate.
Bought the MCARBO spring kit based on the good reviews and video instructions, and a nice punch kit. The pins that hold the plastic grip to the aluminum on my firearm do not “JUST TAP OUT.” I put this lower in a vice and used a large hammer and steel punch. Bent the punch, pin didn’t move. I’m hoping I can purchase a replacement plastic grip from SCCY and I’ll take it to a gunsmith and let him have a try. Upsetting...
Hi Bobby, we could do the work for you. www.mcarbo.com/custom-shop.aspx
Having the same issue. My gunsmithing block is crushing from all the hammering.
@@TS-yk8kb I ended up buying a new frame, reverting back to stock and trading it in on a Taurus G2C. The trigger was lighter, but I had several misfires at the range. Was worth it to me to chalk it up as a loss and get a better “budget gun”. Good luck with yours.
@@robdnice finally got my pins out. I already have a pt111g2, great guns and plan on getting a g3c when prices and stock settle.
I got a cpx1rd for the wife and for a fun intro to red dots on pistols. Hope I don't have the misfires.
Great video! Thank you for breaking it down and explaining all there is. Most Videos are short, choppy, visually blurry or shaking. This is top notch quality! Thank you for the help as well as the insanely fast processing and shipping of the components. I will be looking into what other parts are made by MCarbo for all of my weapon systems.
Thank You Brother for your Support!
Had mine installed and expected way more. Gunsmith said well its still a double action so dont expect too much. Took it to the range and was able to roll out consecutive headshots. THe gun resets just in time for follow up shots. I typically shoot a Glock with a timmney trigger so theres no comparison, BUT the keyword is budget and that it gets the job done.
Excellent video, well presented. Thank you I will be getting this kit very soon.
well... It is almost always the trigger pull that causes me to pull slightly of target when I fire. High trigger weight and I wind up pulling a bit right and maybe low. So i ALWAYS do what I can to fix the trigger.. With the springs AND a bit of micro polishing using my dremel and some custom made sanding discs from 600 grit up to 3000 on the trigger transfer bar and trigger pivot I am down to 4.2 pull weight. On the sccy cpx 2 with optic.... Holy Hockey puck Batman... even the heavies at my local club are impressed. I have built so many firearms from cz52's, star PD's and of course 1911's... I frigging love this sccy!
Awesome video! Extremely well explained and illustrated. If you are not already, you should be an instructor. Good communication skills 👏👌
Thank you.
most excellent education . followed his instruction and procedure and did the deal myself excellent
Great Company they do great work they have at least five of my weapons from auto-matics to revolvers - great customer service - good video SIR - THIS COMPANY MAKES YOUR WEAPONS / GUN perform 100% BETTER !!!
Thanks Guys, we appreciate your support! Glad to hear this!
Just finished putting mine in, feels great and can’t wait to test it!
Very easy to follow, and I know next to nothing about repairing firearms. One thing though... 1) My trigger bar did not have a slot, it had a circle indent that trigger spring fit into. Easy adjustment on the fly, but something to note.
You guys are making excellent hardware for these pistols keep up the good work!
Thanks Brother, we appreciate your Support!
Best instructional video I’ve ever watched hands down thank you!
Just bought this gun, came across this video, ordered the kit....Found out that MCARBO is along my way to and from work (Ulmerton & 19 area). I could've stopped by to pick it up dang it!!!...lol
1st time working on a gun great video my wife loves her gun now
Just installed my spring kit on mine it went from about nine pounds down to 5 and 1/2 to 6 I've only shot the gun probably 30 times so I know it'll get a little bit better definitely a lot better I'm very happy thank you
Received spring kit today & installed today. Same results as mine, 9 down to 5.5-6. The extractor plunger pin was broken, the small end was captured inside the extractor spring. The McCarbo hammer spring was full of what looks like pipe cleaner lint.
great instructional video. my only issue was the back frame pin. broke the grip to get the frame off. I didn't mind though, I was already changing the color.
Holy shit!!! If you actually accomplished to make a sccy trigger even remotely decent then you are like Moses parting the Red Sea. I don't own one but I do have y'all's kit in my 835 mossberg and I use the ar hammer spring on every mil-spec unit I install. Both great products and most of all exceptional customer service 👍💯
Got someone with this gun and seems to struggle with the trigger. Forwarded this to them and see what they think. Had a ruger LCP and ditched that POS because of the trigger. Just reminded me why.
Just installed the spring kit on my SCCY CPX2 it feel awesome thank you.
I just bought a spring upgrade from MCarbo and it is kick ass.
Just added spring set. Was fairly easy,had weapon apart for over a month due to back order,but feels lighter then I remembered.
Sweet little trigger job. The video was great! I do wish you would have added the differences with the CPX 1 model safety. I took pictures as I disassembled & did fine except when you tighten the safety don't make it too tight it will restrict the trigger return. Keep up the great work and Thanks for your service.
Bro you sir are by have made the best disassemble and reassemble video explaining every detail to a tee ty for makeing this video. Would love to see more videos like this from others. Would also like to see I what other things we can do to the cpx1/2 pistols
