Consider just purchasing a different trigger spring with a lighter pull, rather than a whole different trigger. With that being said, Timney triggers that I have had are good in my opinion.

Ditto what Senior Smoke said 870 triggers are very user friendly. Ross Puls

The Remington trigger that came with the gun is a very good trigger and easy to work on. The trigger coil spring can be changed to get a lighter pull. Then the hammer notch and sear can be cleaned up with a fine stone to get a smooth pull. And last but not least the depth of the hammer notch can be reduced with a stone in order to get rid of any trigger creep. The only problem is finding a gunsmith who knows how to do these operations.

Someone came out with a new trigger kit for the 870s.

I think it was timmney? The kit took out the creep and changed the spring for lighter pull, I think it was 150 bucks.

Somebody will pipe in a and tell you what I am talking about.

Timney makes a replacement sear kit. The kit includes three springs of different pull weights and the sear is also adjustable. Kit is $90 and is available from both Timney and Midway. Installation is pretty easy, did it myself on my 870 Comp.

Well there you have it, thanks Bill.

You can just pull the trigger out of the gun and cut a coil or two off of the hammer spring and lighten the trigger. Don't go over board with it. Just clip a little at a time and try it each time you clip. You will feel it getting lighter.

Years ago I won a 870 in a raffle. It had a terrible,"lawyer proof" trigger ... felt like it was 15 pounds.

Since Timney lived 5 miles away ... it took it to him.

He asked if I knew how to take the trigger group out and replace springs, I said "Of course I do."

He said "YOU GOT $3?"

I said yes and he said "I'll be right back."

He came back with a little plastic bag with 10 different springs in it, and said "Replace the trigger return spring with the one that feels good to you."

Problem solved!
