Father's day project springs and shims for GP 100

[blazing lead]

Good father's day surprise, got a spring and shim kit for my GP 100 today, got her broke down and measured my hammer and trigger gaps ( the shims will work as is with no fuss)

Gonna do some stuff with the kids today and do a little polish work and hopefully reassemble this evening. This kit didn't have the hammer dog shims but I might get some down the road.

I've never seen this project. What do the shims do?

 

[blazing lead]

They take side to side drag out of the hammer so it has a more consistent travel without intermittently rubbing against the frame. It will show rub marks on My particular pistol had 0.014 of slop on the hammer. I'm installing two .005 shims one on the each side to tighten the play and have more consistent travel. Some clearance is needed in order to move without binding but that is excessive. The trigger is getting one .001 shim on each side. The match champion version of this pistol uses shims from the factory

That's very interesting, I had no idea.

Cool! I sold off my GP 4” but kept my SP 2”.

Shot it this morning!

Let us know how it turned out. I just put a 10# hammer spring in mine as well as a rubber Pachmayr grip and it shoots a lot better for me.

Well I'm satisfied with the results it shoots pretty darn good. The only thing I might do down the road to round it out is shim the hammer dog I have .018 " of slop in It. Tightening that gap is supposed to help some with DA pull weight from what I have researched.
