I installed the nineball hopup bucking and its great, thanks illusion.
There's a small problem with my trigger. When I rack the slide and don't slam it back into battery, the first pull of the trigger doesn't disconnect the hammer. I then have to pull the trigger again before the hammer disconnects. So basically every now and then when I shoot or rack the slide softly, I need to pull the trigger twice before the hammer is released. There is a click on the first trigger pull but nothing happens. This problem just started a little while ago, I'm not quite sure what's causing it.
Also, I know you already stated this, but a steel valve striker really won't improve consistency of the valve being struck? The tip of mine is getting roughed up because one of my magazines has an action high flow valve which has the flathead groove making me consider a steel valve striker.
