mag disconnect

[FNShooter]

i know that the mag disconnect makes the trigger feel a little heavy...is this a gun smith job only or has anyone done it themself??? thanks! if it is guns smith only does anyone remember what they paid? roughly...

I did it myself. It took less than 1/2 hour. I got my information here

and a few other places. Search around.

Simply, remove trigger, remove disconnect from trigger, re-install trigger.
You will need a quality punch set, and a few other tools.
Pay attention to the details of the instructions.

If you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't. A smith shouldn't charge toooo much.

It made a big difference in my trigger, glad I did it.

Uncle Screwtape, Thanks for the thread. I did it to mine and not only did it make the trigger sweet now the mags fall freely.

Wow!!!! I just took my mag disconnect off. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! That little pin was a pain in the rump to get out though.

Of my three Hi-Powers, OK, well my two and the FEG clone, I've only needed to remove the disconnect from the FEG. The other two have been just fine with them installed.

Removing the disconnect is the very first thing I do on any HP I buy. It's pointless IMO and has the already listed disadvantages

Tried it and can't get the trigger pin to move at all. So i'll cheat. I'm going to have a custom finish put on the pistol and i'll let them remove the mag safety.
