Creep ?

[Ric O'shay]

The more i shoot my Beretta the more i grin but....
Now i may be getting picky but i think its the trigger that is affecting accuracy. As i gently pull the trigger i have notice it is not smooth and the resistance varies very slightly. I then squeeze slightly harder to overcome this which affects the aim.
Is this called trigger creep and can it be made better ?
Or am i being too picky with a fun pistol?

PX4?
On my PX4 I've found there's a definite feel to the mag feed part of the trigger movement followed by the hammer release but I've not analysed it closely yet.
Next time I shoot it I'll be thinking about it now you mention it, difficult to think about trigger creep and grin at the same time

I do try, i really do.
I start off shooting a couple of magazines real serious and then it starts...the grin appears along with that irresistible desire for rapid fire

Do you get the same thing shooting single action?

[Ric O'shay]

Most definately...as its using single action and single handed that made me notice it.

They vary. My Colt is excellent as is the S&W. Others not so much. But be honest we buy these on looks and fun factor otherwise we would only buy target pistols.

I know what you mean...cant help trying to tighten those groups
Even found my self looking at target pistols but luckilly the price stops me getting one.
Wonder if the HW40 would keep help....hmmmm

Have you oiled it?
I found my Beretta trigger felt just slightly notchy. I have one of those pen oiler things with a long needle. I used that to add a tiny amount of oil to various bits of the trigger mechanism and the magazine spindle, tremendous difference. I won't say its silky smooth but it's hugely better.

Tried pistol last night and its a lot more noticeable on double action

I applied a small amount of SM50 to likely spots and it made a difference, still there tho

this is a bit like the dripping tap thing...once you notice it it becomes impossible to ignore
