Reduced Power Hammer Spring for P32

gbclarkson · August 6, 2018, 07:34 PM

Galloway Precision has a reduced power hammer spring for the Kel-Tec P32. I like the P32 and would like to like it more. Has anyone here installed this spring? Did you notice an "about 1.5 pound" decrease in the trigger pull? Would it be a difficult install for an amateur, sometimes successful DIYer?

I am looking forward to reading your experiences. Thanks.

I would worry about too soft ignition on the .32 primers. I found that a few manufacturers primers were too hard for my Seecamp even though I increase the hammer spring tension.

If the P32 is a plinker/range toy - go for it. If you're carrying it for SD, seriously not recommended. Rather than weakening the hammer spring, how about strengthening your trigger finger?

You like it already, I would leave as is. I don’t recall any of my P32s having a heavy trigger,and reliability is key with a carry gun, as noted above.
