Gun Envy: Grand Power K105R Machine Pistol

I was going around Youtube when I came across this video of a little known, modern Machine Pistol: The Grand Power K105R

I was immediately hit with an extreme case of Gun Envy, mainly because of the gun's controllability at full-auto, shot in FREE HAND (i.e., no Forward Vertical Grip, no Shoulder Stock, etc.). Having some experience with shooting my Glock 22 in full auto mode, I knew this was something special.

Despite the adding a Shoulder Stock, Vertical Grip and DPM Recoil Reduction System, the Glock 22's recoil at full auto is still relatively considerable, definitely not anywhere near that of a full-pledged Sub Machine Gun. So when I saw the K105R in full auto at freehand with low recoil, I thought, wow, this is something I've always wanted my Glock 22 to be as a Machine Pistol, but which I could not do.

Using Light Striker Springs on Glocks

-------------------

In an effort to lighten the trigger of my Glock 22, I have been using a lighter Striker Spring on the unit for the last couple of months, and I just found out lately that using such results in a long-term reliability issue, as I will explain in detail.

'Light Striker Spring'
To lighten the trigger pull of a Glock, there are a couple of ways you can do so, and all involves a simple replacement of parts. You can lighten the Trigger Connector to the most common 3.5 lbs. from the standard 5 lbs; You can also lighten the Safety Plunger Spring. However, the one that will result in the biggest improvement in trigger weight is the use of lighter Striker Springs.
