How to Match Tune a Perfect 1911 Pistol Trigger ~ It's Super Easy! 

Let me add on... Yes. What a refreshing little corner of RU-vid you have here. No attitude. No heavy metal background music. No super slo-mo’s. It’s like going over to your knowledgeable neighbors house on a Saturday afternoon. Thank you for all your years in LE too. Congrats on the new puppy. They certainly leave a empty space when they leave us...

What a pleasure to be educated by a softspoken, normal person. No nervewrecking gestures, no exhalted shouting, a pleasant voice that explains why yo do what...thank you sir..!

All good stuff. I would love to see you tear into a $400 Rock Island 1911 and make it the best it can be.

'The stone in your shoe'. Excellent way of putting it.

Subscriber here from the Far East 😊!.. WHERE the 1911 was First conceived!😊😁👍 Thank you very much Sir for imparting your valueble lessons. Am 75- now and have been carrying 1911s in All its configurations since a teener...and it seems it will take a Lifetime to learn everything there is about a 1911🙏

Great video. You can read in books about these procedures, but having someone thoroughly explain while demonstrating the finesse needed makes a huge difference. I also tried your Clam Chowder recipe, and it is indeed most excellent. Thank you sir!

I enjoy these videos so much. No rushing. No bravado and nothing but a calm and patient tone. This is the third one I have watched. I have learned more from these videos than most any of the rest.

First video I've ever seen perfectly illustrating why you *don't* need to spend Wilson combat money on a 1911 trigger when you can clean the one you've got yourself at home. The algorithm hasn't presented your channel to me until randomly showing up in my feed today, and I've spent an entire day off watching 11 of your videos back to back. About jumped out of my seat hearing a kindred spirit talk about the gun cleaning nonsense I too have told people for decades they were wasting their time with! Will definitely be helping out with as many views possible in my spare time!

Thank you again for removing all the hype from "tuning" the 1911. I really love your videos. I learn so much from them. A cautionary tale about removing too much metal. My nephew "worked" on his 1911. He handed it to me without any words of caution and I was remiss for not dry firing an unfamiliar gun first. Anyway, the first shot "doubled" on me because I was not prepared and the second bullet went off into the air. I literally was worried that I might soon hear sirens even though the nearest house was a half mile away. I say NEVER EVER go below 3 to 4 lbs on any single action trigger. That's my rule for what it's worth. Again, great video!

Your advice to remember the grip safety while measuring pull - might seem unnecessary, but I have had a moderately experienced gunsmith forget in front of me, during a pull check. Good point.

GB I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see your boyish proud smile speaking of your puppy! And I also love when you expose the "super secret gun wizards" that have built up the theatre of magic to work on guns. Thank you for this valuable service to our community.

Wish I’d watched this 30 + years ago! It’s a great time to watch you all.

I’ve seen many people complain of their trigger pull and have found the sear was completely dry of oil. Less than half a drop of oil makes a difference

Can't t thank you enough.removed the bur on the sear and eliminated the creep on my charles daly 45.big improvement.

I use an about 3 year old popsicle stick for the thumb safety plunger that works fantastic for installing the thumb safety and you never miss the plunger because it's just wide enough. Also works great when installing the extractor to align the notch and clocking all in one go. Greatest free tool for a 1911 ever.

Glad to hear Murphy is adjusting well to his new home! He’s a cute little fella! Hope you have a great 2024!

Between the knowledge and the gentle grandfatherly manner of explaining, I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you sir!

So glad to see you tell folks not to pull the spring out. I had a “gunsmith” pull out the spring on my delta elite right in front of me (which is two nested springs). I needed to cinch the ends again when I got home. Great video!

A plastic coffee stirrer is a good (and free) tool to push the plunger spring when installing the safety.

I was a very fortunate lad when I was getting into firearms (8/9 years old) my grandfather’s friend whom was a master armorer a started letting me watch and help him. One of the firearms he worked on the most was 1911s mostly trigger works.😊😊 love your work Sir.

Excellent video, brings back old memories of back during the mid 1970''s. My first 1911 was a pre 70 Colt National Match. It was a fantastic 1911. I had it for a few years and shot bulls eye league a number of years. I lost interest and sold it. Big regret and I still regret I sold it. A few years later I decided I was going to shot bulls eye league again and purchased a Colt series 70 Gold cup and was unhappy with the trigger pull. Back in those days there was no internet and pretty much went by others experiences with their 1911's. I decided to do my own trigger job and was not brave enough and not sure what trigger parts to stone so I decided to try bending the fingers on the spring. Well I took my Gold cup to the range to test fire it and loaded up 5 rounds and pulled the trigger and my gun went full auto. Went back home and bent the spring back to what I thought it was before I messed with it. Going full auto scared the crap out of me and was my first and last attempt at a trigger job. I wish there was a video like the excellent video you posted. Great job on this and all your videos.

Good video but I'm surprised while the gun was broke down that far you didn't pop the trigger out and check for burs and dirt in the channel the trigger bow rides in. I have often found that channel to have burs and left over metal shaving and dirt from the manufacturing process on assembly line 1911's.

Thank you so much for such well presented, informative videos. I'm down in South Africa with a Norinco 1911 I got in 1991. Everybody down here is all about 9mm hi-cap now, I don't know anyone else with whom I can discuss my choice of firearm. It's really great to get down-to-earth advice on how to make my shooting experience better. I look forward to every time you drop a new video. :)

Glad to see someone using the K.I.S.S. method when tuning a trigger, too many time people go overboard.

One suggestion: a still shot of the leaf spring's orientation when you've got it bent to where you want it would have been helpful. Other than that, good info!

I own a 1954 National Match Colt. Sweet trigger. Suggestion: go to Harbor Freight (or on line), and buy a 4" and 6" magnetic metal bowls. They work well for holding your metal parts as you disassemble firearms or similar objects. They won't roll of or disappear as you work on the piece.

GunBlue490 great to see you smiling again. Amazing what grandchildren and a new puppy can do. God bless😊😊😊😊😊

Dan's Whetstone has a novaculite quarry and produces many different shapes of stones. I've used one specialty stone on my Lee 5-stage press where I was having a hang-up. Cleaned the issue right up! Love these stones!

Thank you again Mr. GunBlue! I picked up a used Ruger SR1911 about a year ago. I've had all sorts of problems with the trigger. Sometimes it breaks a little over 4 lbs, sometimes closer to 8. When I saw your 3 way leaf spring compared to mine, I knew I had found my problem. Someone had attempted a "trigger job" in the past, complete with pliers jaw marks on the spring. I took my time and gently coaxed it til it looked like yours. Now the trigger breaks crisp and consistent at just under 4 lbs. I'm a patreon subscriber, but I know I'm getting the better end of the deal. Your videos have saved my thousands of dollars over the years. On this channel, I have learned how to epoxy bed rifles, accurize my M1A and Mini 14, disassemble and replace broken parts in my old 586 S&W, bullet casting, countless reloading tips, and so much more. Every time I see you in that Central Grocery apron, I know I'm about to learn something new. I love the cartridge talks too; 35 Whelen was my favorite.

I wish I had a neighbor like you! I'd be bugging you all day!

Accurate information delivered in an intelligent manner - very much appreciated. Nice to hear it delivered with no accent too - I'm a NH transplant in CA for now.

I don't think it can be said enough, but thank you sir for the very informative instructional videos. I have a Ruger Mini-30 that has an absolutely wonderful trigger now thanks to your shared info. My 1911 will probably have one too pretty soon. Thanks again

Thank you for the class. I received a 1911 about a month ago, and 100 rounds in I can tell I am already addicted. Glad you enjoyed your holidays and God bless.

I miss Benny, and I love Murphy! God bless you and your family.

Subscribed. When I was apprenticing I was amazed at how often the smith would tell me to look something up on RU-vid. Usually it was for reference on assembly and disassembly, but he also recommended watching for videos like this because you never know it all. He’s been a smith for probably 40 years and still learns from others. I find myself learning the same way now in my own shop. Thank you.

Well done, Proof a man with time and experience is key life lesson. This is Something you can’t learn from google.

So shocked to hear you rattle off the specs of an ATX computer you built. Truly a renaissance man.

Thank you very much for the video. Just finished tuning my 45. It works! It's just RiA but the trigger works much better.

For a padded bench is use an automobile fender cover. Jegs sells em for like 10bucks. Lay it on the bench with the flap hanging over and you’re good.

Thank you for the video. We just got a new pup, he's a 9 week old Lab. He's adorable and a handful but very good and sweet too. He'll make an amazing hunting dog I can tell.

Very nicely done, I was surprised when you said you can build computers, I am close to you age and seems like most men in our age group know very little about computers, so good for you. For me anything less than 3.5 lb. Trigger pull on a 1911 is almost dangerous, that's about what mine is and I've had other people shoot it and they often fire 2 rounds by accident because of the recoil and short reset of the trigger.

Thanks brother great to hear Murphy is doing well my boy Cole is laying in front of me as i wright this 3 years old now, i have a Colt 1911 Combat Target made one year like 96 or 97 looks like a Gold Cup but no NM barrel or royal blue love it a gift from my Wife of 50 years, im gonna pull it apart and look at the trigger parts thanks for the class . God Bless

Super job showing how to do a trigger job on a 1911.

Your 1911 videos are bye far the best on RU-vid! Watched one you made from 7 years ago that helped me put my 1911 back toghter and functioning ! Stayed with someone else is video and it left out some key things ! Glad I found your videos ! Have a Blessed day !

Got a Springfield, 10mm. Saw that all the internals were cast with a plastic trigger blade. I bought a high-grip WilsonCombat beaver tail and filed the frame to blend it. Factory trigger was over 5 pounds. I'll get the sear right once the frame gets back from getting DLC and shoot for 3.25 lbs or so. Thanks for the great videos.

❤ I enjoyed watching this episode very much. I bought a Kimber Custom ll back in 1995 I think and outta the box it had a 2.6 lbs so smooth. I think the pull is less now but I have not checked it in years. Most accurate 1911 I have ever had or shot.

Great video! You inspired me to do a trigger job on my new GCNM. When I got it, the trigger was heavy..right from the factory at just over 6 lbs! Terrible for a match pistol. I was going to bring it to an expert 1911 tuner and it would have cost $185. I did the job tonight and did about 3 spring adjustments until I got down to just under 4lbs. Amazing what can be done with the existing parts! Thank you!

It is a real pleasure to watch your videos! I can't thank you enough. Yesterday I went to the range with my Mini-14 and I had my tablet with your excellent video in front of me. I followed through as if you were in my house. No music, no distraction, just sharing your vast knowledge, I have no words to express my gratitude...Thank you, Sir!

Excellent presentation on adjusting the 1911 trigger. Also, glad to hear about Murphy. He is a cute dog.

If I could choose any American Grandpa to be my own it would be you 😂♥️

For holding the plunger for the thumb safety,... for 30 years I've used my "Widget", helps with the recoil plug on one end and the flat end for the safety. BTW love your videos, I've learned a lot!

Outstanding video. Been a 1911 fan all my life, best fighting pistol in my book, own three but now thinking about a Gold cup like yours. Rangers Lead The Way

follow down - what should be done? I once bought a "like new" used colt series 70 government model. It felt so right in my hand. The gun store pitch was a person who really wanted the then unavailable Gold Cup National Match had bought this pistol and had the store smith put on adjustable sights and do a trigger job, but he was never happy as the gun was not the Gold Cup. A Gold Cup had come in and he traded it in having only shot the government model a few times. I wanted a job site, truck gun, that could take some knocks. The price was right and it came with over 2/3 box of Lee Jurras Super Vel hollow point ammo. It felt so right in my hand - I bought. Light crisp trigger that would follow to 1/2 cock if there was no cartridge for the slide to strip from a magazine - a bit concerning. Then I shot some of the included ammo - stovepipe after stovepipe. I talked to the people at the gun store - no offer to install any needed new factory trigger parts to return gun to factory specs at a fair price would be forthcoming and no returns were allowed. I figured out some of the truth, the trigger job was botched and the Super Vel was too hot for the spring in the gun. I switched to hardball which has never failed to function properly. I have learned to live with the light trigger, still a bit concerning, it is nice to shoot. I just do not let the slide slam home without loading a cartridge. Last purchase I ever made at that store. I learned a bit of "buyer beware" in my youth that ended OK, as had I not bought that gun at that bargain price I probably would never have had a .45. It felt so right in my hand

Your a Good Teacher. God Bless you..

Enjoyed the video. When working on 1911s I'll also pull out the trigger. I use crocus cloth to remove any rough edges on the top and bottom of the trigger bow. Also polish the flat back that bears on the disconnecter. Top and bottom of the trigger that ride in the frame should also be smooth. Check the channel in the frame for burs or rough spots. This won't really affect pull weight, but can improve the feel of the trigger.

Great tutorial! And except for the disconnector polIsh I followed this exact procedure a few years ago based on info from Jim Clark, on my Colt Series 70 and also ended up with a very smooth 3.5 lb break. Ross Seyfried correctly says that the proper pull should feel like snapping a thin 1/4 icicle, and that’s a good description. That’s a gorgeous stock NM pistol you have there, and I wish I knew about those rampant Colt double diamond grips as I would have tried to snag some for my 1978 Series 70 years ago! I appreciate your clear presentation, as it confirms the way I did it but adds even more good detail (although I took way longer than you!). Thank you. 🙏

Main spring housing houses the MAIN SPRING! So true

OMG, I don't expect you to see my comments to this insightful video So articulate, so professional and WOW your down to Earth family ideals are refreshing! Thank you for your for your RU-vid channel!! God Bless!

I'm excited to clean up my trigger. It is actually quite good, but I know it can be improved.

Simple step by stem w/ safety explain of stripping 1911 - Thank You

"Don't be lured into spending thousands of dollars unnecessarily on a so-called custom gun to get a nicely tuned trigger!" I just picked up the new 5" Tisas double stack 1911 and it had a 7lb trigger out of the box with a really nice break. I was surprised when the scale said 7lbs because it felt so much lighter than that. Thanks to your video and a few minutes tuning the spring and reducing the sharpness of the various contact points you mentioned with my 4" Arkansas stone it is now a very nice 4.5lbs. I could go lower, but I plan to carry this gun sometimes and I am extremely satisfied already. I thank you sir for making such informative videos and cutting through the bs and bad information that is prevalent in the gun tinkering community. I have been subbed to your channel since the first video I watched quite a few years ago. It was easy to tell that you really know your stuff and you are a man to pay attention to when you speak on authority. Enjoy the new pup!

Thankyou for passing this knowledge. I know from personal experience with a person in my life that very knowledgeable guys can sometimes be called back home sooner than you might think taking that knowledge with them.

Thank you for this very informative video. I just bought my first 1911 (Springfield Ronin 10mm). I am trying to understand as much about my new gun as possible. At this point, I'm very happy with the trigger. Honestly, I wouldn't trust myself to attempt this delicate trigger work after watching one video. Luckily, my range has a great gunsmith. Take care and Happy New Year!

Awesome video and good instruction to. I have the same 1911 and its a very nice Colt. Out of the box mine was pulling at 5 pounds and Colt said 4 to 4 1/2 pounds. I didn't want to send it back so I did a trigger job and know it pulls at 3 /12 pounds. That Murphy has Brighton your life. Happy New Year!

I'm very happy you are enjoying your new dog, Murphy. I hope you have many enjoyable years to come with him. Enjoy every stage of his development as he grows. God Bless!

Thanks for another great video. I have been looking for a trigger video that does not require the use of a jig. This is great!

Glad I happened across the channel. I had installed a cylinder & slide trigger kit in my 1911 awhile back. Had meant to tweak the sear spring and never thought anymore about until I watched your video. Hit pause and did that. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow.

Purchased my first 1911 a few weeks ago and appreciate the shared knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to help us all out

Those belts for the work sharp I use with edge of bic lighter on my feed ramps. I’ve held off on this part till now…the way you teach ol country boys like me can understand lol. I have the 6” trp and ss specialist

Well done, thank you from a visual learner.

Didn't know you built computers too! It's awesome to see an older guy who's tech savvy and it reflects in your videos/production quality. Especially the audio, drone footage etc. People underestimate how important audio is, it's honestly more important than the picture quality in most aspects and I'm still trying to figure it out myself

Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

Sounds like you were an NRA conventional bullseye competitor. For EIC hardball match 45s shooting 230 gr roundnose full loads, minimum trigger pull used to be 4 lb. For 45 wadcutter conventional guns shooting light loads, minimum trigger pull was 3.5 lbs. I stopped comp shooting about the time they started allowing 9mm Berettas to be fired for EIC matches. Excellent video on what match 1911s were ... especially Colt Series 70. Beautiful gun. Mine all look like hell from jostling around in a gun box for years. I have yet to see any plastic wonder 9 outshoot a 1911. I don't know if the AMU has ever attained 45 accuracy with a P235. I know it took about 4 years of development for Berettas to be competitive with 1911s, in the hands of AMU shooters.

I can't tell you how many times a pistol bench block has come in handy for disassembly and assembly of pistols/ar lowers/lever guns etc. It's also nice that it has sections with magnets in it to hold pins/screws/etc. Excellent video though, thanks! Will definitely use this for a reference later on.

Really appreciate this video. It amazes me how some companies sell you on their trigger jobs. I wont name names but when I see the actual work they do it looks like their idea of stoning and polishing is to go bananas with the dremel tool. Grinding away areas that make no contact. Or simply cant be felt. And ive never heard someone discuss the breaking the edge off the sear. Its always "you have to buy this jig and reface the sear and shave the hammer hooks to the point that they are non existent. And the mechanics of it all just didnt make sense. Thank you for this video. It really proves that some times the simplest solution is the best solution and that you can overwork a part. Im going to be following these steps with a gun that just needs a tuning. Not a rebuilding. This helped tremendously. Thank you.

Thank you Sir for another great video, also the puppy is absolutely beautiful, may our Lord richly bless you all, have a lot of fun with the Pup.

So nice of you to share this video with us.

Very pleasant, calm, clear and instructive vid sir, thank you..!

Thanks! Will start on (mainly deburring, light polishing) on a cheaper one first.

Well first let me thank you for your matter of fact style . Got my hands on a Gold Cup and while it hit very nicely the trigger was a big disappointment . 6 lbs . So I started looking into a smith to fix it and no such animal anywhere close to home . I live on Kodiak Island in Alaska . So as I'm looking for information on the web I find your video's and this one in particular . I practiced on a Delta elite and then a Colt compact . Both turned out fine so I through caution to the wind and attacked the Gold Cup . It now pulls at exactly 3.5 lbs so once again thank you . On a side note , my very first dog was a Brittany spaniel named Jake . Had him for 14 years . Traveled from Oregon to our new home in Alaska just him and I . 2 dudes on an adventure .

18:36 - Friction is independent of surface area, believe it or not.The load on the sear remains constant, so that cutout actually causes the pressure to be more concentrated on the two contact points, instead of being distributed across the entire face. I'm really not sure why Colt designed it that way.

Thank you sir for this video ! I love to tinker and see how things work and have recently took my 1911 completely apart. It is a little intimidating, but just take your time and you can do it. Never messed with the trigger , yet.

I can tell bye the look on your face and your attitude that puppy has already made a big impact on your life and im sure your wife as well good for you guys

Holy smokes! What a difference this made! Thank you❤

I took my 70 series National Match 1911 apart last week to compare parts with an AMT Hardballer Long Slide that was having an issue of the hammer dropping while the safety was on. When I took the sear and disconnect out, I noticed a tiny spring set into the sear with a tiny piece of metal that holds it. After hours of searching, I found out that's the decompressor to prevent the trigger from accidentally bouncing against the sear and firing the gun again after a round has just been fired. Turns out that's a proprietary feature of the 70 series National Match. I think your sear might be an aftermarket part.

I have the CZ 97B made in 2021 that I carry cocked and locked. It came with the same aluminum grips but with a fiber optic front sight and a blacked out rear sight. Though I have small hands I found that a set of thicker g10 grips made it feel much better to me. I prefer the 97b over the 97bd for a couple reasons. The cocked and locked carry gives you the same trigger pull every time without that first double action pull allowing for better accuracy for me, though I still get the double strike ability if needed. The second reason is with small hands the trigger being closer while it's cocked is alot better for reach comfort. The slide feeling stiff on yours is most likely the grease though the safety plunger is a bit stiff on mine at the moment. But I haven't shot more than 50 rounds through mine and mine was purchased new for $800. I really wish the 97b did come with a light rail. Bummer that it didn't. PS. You didn't quite align your bushing to get the plug in all the way. I would check that before shooting it. I use to own a Browning high power and it did seem very similar to the CZ 75 though it was only single action. Great video! I really enjoyed the comparison! Subscribed. 😎👍

I also had one but never did a trigger job. I was able to shoot within the X ring at 25 meters. The key to that was to press the trigger to one side or the other in it's channel and gently squeeze for the shot; all the time keeping side pressure on the trigger. I no longer have the pistol because it was stolen in 1986 and has never turned up on the firearms markets.

You certainly look like a new man with the new pup around. Very happy for you. Any chance of a video going in depth about triggers? Such As appropriate pull weights and if aftermarket triggers are worth it?

I bought a 1911 lower half at a gun show, the trigger pull has very stiff, I got it home and took it apart to diagnose the problem and the trigger bow was larger than the recesses in the frame so I ended up stoning the trigger bow and then had a 3 and 3/4 pound trigger pull.

This isn’t really related but I enjoy your videos and consider myself being pretty knowledgeable on firearms. But there’s an issue I’m having that I don’t quite understand and I’m sure there’s a very simple explanation. But I have a ruger mark iv standard. The trigger was getting gritty and the frame had a more than ideal accumulation of carbon and gunk. I fully stripped the pistol. All the way to bare frame. When reassembling, I rounded the head of the bolt stop pivot screw. It’s a very shallow screw. I panicked because I haven’t had the pistol very long and still baby it. I take care of all my guns, but this one was still free of any battle scars. I panicked and scratched the frame of the gun with pliers trying to grip the screw. Then I took a drill and rounded out the screw more to make space to smack a star point bit in. That did work. I got the screw out but while drilling out the screw head it gripped it one time and shaved metal off the entry point of the threads on the frame. After getting the screw out and being torn up about what I had done to the frame, I ordered a new screw and finally accepted the ugliness I caused. The new screw arrived, I took the 5/64 Allen key and it stuck the screw on the end, put the bolt catch lever on the frame, and began to screw it in to place. Just as soon as it gets to the point of starting to tighten, it rounded. Just like the other one. I put the grip back on the gun. I left the screw in there. It functions fine. It still catches the bolt. There’s also a cut out in the grip that covers the point where that screw is so it should keep if from backing out. But I have two questions to end this long winded explanation. Question 1. Do you think that screw is designed to round off to prevent over tightening due to how short of a screw it is to begin with ? Question 2. If it’s not designed that way, do you think it’s an issue with the threads in the gun ? Question 3. Even if the answer to questions 1 and 2 are a yes, do you think it would be okay to keep running it as is as long as it functions and do you think having a less than desirable bolt catch pivot screw will affect the longevity of the fire arm? It will function just fine even if you completely remove the lever. I don’t see an issue shooting the gun with out it. But it’s a newer gun, it’s a gun ive always wanted, and now it is less than perfect and my current living situation prevents me from being able to send the gun to ruger. I may also be freaking out over nothing. Anyways, love your videos. Thank you in advance for any help or wisdom you can offer on the matter.

Great straight forward information as always. You look well, that pup put a spring in your step. Happy New Year & God bless you & yours.

Healthy & Happy New Year to You & Yours. I have made it a habit to lay the firearm down with the open breach up exposing the chamber and mag well for inspection without touching the firearm and the muzzle still facing in the safe direction as there were no reasons for the firearm to be disturbed. v/r

Excellent work. Wish I had seen this before I “tuned” my first 1911! Thank you

Thank you Sir. Just purchased a vintage Colt Officers ACP in blued configuration. The trigger is incredibly bad. I'll try this. Thanks from Tulsa, Ok.

So glad to see you thank you for the knowledge sir just bought my first 1911 looking forward to tuning my trigger now god bless

I have a Colt M1911 it’s a 1914 vintage and the trigger is terrible on it. I have been seriously debating myself on whether I should mess with it. But the truth of the matter is the trigger is terrible. Long, mushy, then a wall that hard to overcome then it will snap. It’s easily over 10 pounds once you get to the wall.

You upset Wilson Combat with your 1911 slide video haha! Well done! I will keep to buying HK pistols and sigs they are expensive and never break if I let the slide go home aka abuse them like a bad child wc pistol.

Beautiful Colt 1911, outstanding video and sporting a great 😊, and wonderful 🐶 addition to family. Happy and healthy 2024 Sir!

I have a 1911 that has a super nice trigger without any tuning or having paid a lot for a custom gun. Somehow I got a really nice trigger in mine...problem is that the rest of the gun has problems. The front sight is walking out of the dovetail, the slide is being chewed up by the sharp edges of the frame because the frame wasn't cut out properly, the hammer, safety, slide stop and mag release are all shoddy looking cast parts rather than nice looking wire cut or forged and milled parts. I'm kind of disgusted with this gun to be perfectly honest. Anyway, that's a beautiful puppy you have there, glad to see ya back, sir.

Great expose on this trigger tune up ! Well done, sir...
