Svi trigger shoe on sti bow?

[rupture]

My smith told me the new svi triggers won't fit sti frames anymore. I thought I read of someone putting the svi trigger shoe on an sti bow. Anyone done this?

[AWLAZS]

Its not too hard. Remove the SV trigger shoe from the bow by carefully cutting out the two spots where the stake the parts together. Separate the STI trigger from the bow don't damage the bow. Take the STI bow and look at the front of it. yow will see that it is not flat. Grind it so it is flat and fits into the SV shoe. Make sure it fits flat and centered. Once it all fits together take a little two part epoxy and secure the two together.

will epoxy hold ?

[AWLAZS]

It sure will. I have been running mine for a year. I just went and looked at what I used. It was JB weld

I'm asking out of pure curiosity... what does going to this extreme do to benefit the shooter? I can only assume that it is for the ability to change the trigger profile with the various inserts. Anything else?

I was under the impression that the new sVi base won't fit the sTi grip because it's wider now....

Please Note That ALL Wide Body triggers are designed to work with our Billet Grips. The trigger base is a .250in width. Polymer Grips will need to be modified in trigger track width to fit correctly.

Maybe I'm reading that wrong but I don't think changing the bow is going to do what you want.

I did mine similar to AWLAZS except I carefully pried the staking open and re-used the staking material instead of epoxy. I also had to do a little filing on the shoe to make it fit the grip slot. I like being able to switch out the shoe to get just the right length.

I don't know if SV changed their singlestack triggers too. If not, use that as a donor for the base and put it on the STI bow as AWLAZS detailed above. An added benefit is the lesser cost of the singlestack/1911 part.

Now THAT'S good advice!

Can anyone confirm that the shoes are the same??

I was told if you remove .005 from each side (outer) of the SVI bow it will fit IN the STI,It worked in my gun

SVI ITS trigger fit in both of my STIs FGW put the one in my Trojan and I did my spartan just measure the width of the trigger it's self and remove material(if needed) so it will fit the trigger shoe opening and move freely then reassemble. Bobby (FGW) puts them in his builds (SS or 2011) if you want so there is a way to make em fit the 2011 too.

I had to file out my sti grip till the sv trigger would slide freely but now it works great
