1911 sear spring / trigger contact

[StraightSh00ter]

Is the sear spring supposed to touch the trigger bow near the end of trigger travel, or is it only supposed to touch the disconnector?

Depends on the length of the sear leg. As long as it's functioning properly it doesn't matter if the sear leg touches the disc and trigger bow.

Thanks - I'm wondering about the center leg - it doesn't cause any problems, but I just installed a new disco and get a little 'click' when the spring leg moves between the disco and trigger bow (click is actually coming from the trigger bow shifting). I could relieve the bottom center of the trigger bow or bend the spring a little differently but figured I'd see what made more sense first. It sounds like I should leave the spring alone and ease the trigger bow a little...

If you are referring to the "click" you get when releasing the trigger from the fired position, that is normal.

if I think I understand...try beveling the edge of the leg contacting against the disco. also mark the inside of the disco hole with a blue marker ( where the sear pin) goes through. after dry fire, few times, disassemble and look inside of the disco hole, look for rub marks from the sear pin,

mentally picture, as you press the trigger, the disco will move up and rearward, look for rub marks and touch up with file or sandpaper. that "click" sounds come from those rub marks, too. along with the disco head moving "back and forth" inside of the frame hole at the top.
