perttime Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 How do I measure what length the trigger on my old 1911 style pistol is? If I ever get another 1911, it would be nice to know beforehand, which trigger to put on it. I'm guessing I have either Long or Medium now.

My friend google has, so far, told me how to determine if an unsuitable length is causing you trouble. My current trigger is working well, and I'd like to keep it that way if I get another 1911.

I think this video would also apply to the 1911 platform..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, based on that I have a curved medium that is possibly slightly shorter than the curved medium shown in the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, about 68-69mm for a Medium. Yep. I think that is what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
