cjleabres Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i am a bad shooter and tend to not allow the trigger to travel forward the requisite distance in order for it reset...without sacrificing safety, is there a way to speed up trigger reset...possibly reduce the amount of travel the trigger has to go forward?...thanks in advance for any replies...

You might try to loosen up your strong hand grip a bit. Put more of your gripping action into the weak hand. Be sure not to tighten up the strong ahnd as you pull the tirgger. Lack of letting the trigger reset is often a issue caused by being tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjleabres Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 i am looking for a mechanical fix...there must be differences from gun to gun as far as how much the trigger has to move forward for the trigger to reset...i am only experiencing the failure to reset the trigger or "trigger freeze" with my limited gun...

Tri Burst Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 The way to shorten the distance the trigger has to move forward to reset is you grind/hone the side of the disconnector ears, the part that look like a upside down T, that sit against the trigger bow NOT the side that engages the sear. By making that whole/complete area thinner the distance the disconnector has to move forward to come off the bottom of the sear is less. But by doing that you can screw up the thumb safety engagement with the sear making the thumb safety non-functional. So it is best to do with a new sear and thumb safety. If you make it to thin the ears of the T could bend or brake off and wear faster make the whole gun non-functional and or turning the gun into a full auto 1911. Unless the reset distance is excessive, and you have the trigger over travel set correctly, I wouldn't fool with it. Learn to shoot the gun the way it was designed.

Carmoney Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 While it won't shorten the reset distance per se, if your trigger reset is just sorta sluggy feeling, you can make it much livelier by putting a little extra forward bend on the center leaf of the sear spring.
