calvary45 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I just installed a caspian trik trigger in my gun, replacing a sti trigger. The only problem that i have with the trigger is that it does not have any tabs to adjust for pretravel and it has alot more than i like. Is there any other way to reduce the pretravel on a 1911 without the taps on the trigger bow. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvary45 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I cut my own tab into the trigger bow. I was thinking about cutting my own tab, do you have any tips for cutting the tabs or what did you use to cut the tabs. Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 A jewelers saw works the best for cutting a tab, very thin cut. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbagum Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have cut my own tabs using a dremel with tiny cut-off wheel and once with litle coping saw (maybe the same thing as jewlers saw?). It is also possible to build up a little jb weld on the front of trigger bow and file till perfect. It always creeps me out having jb weld that can fall out and cause a malfunction so I would cut tabs if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a carpenter by trade(before the military), i had never heard of a jewelers saw before. After doing some research it is really no different from a coping saw. I can get just as thin blades for my coping saw as you can for a jewelers saw. I not that fond of the jb weld trick(although was tempting). I will attempt to cut tabs or drill frame for a set screw after double tap ranch, havent decided which yet, although im leaning more towards cutting tabs in the bow(its the cheaper part).

BlueOvalBruin Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If you have access to a laser welder try welding a small block on and file it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
