Broken ITS trigger insert

[Nolan]

The trigger pull on my STI Open blaster had been getting  bad.  Mostly it was just inconsistant so I finally decided to put one of my fat grips on it and fix the trigger job at the same time.  When I changed the grip I pulled out the blue anodized ITS Tri-Glide trigger bow to install in the fat grip and the top of the long flat insert fell on the table leaving the rest of the insert still in the trigger bow.  Hmm.  Well that's probably the reason for the gritty trigger pull, but wait!  On closer inspection the ball insert had fallen out as well.  

I installed my spare ITS Tri-Glide trigger bow with another long flat insert and my trigger pull is back to a nice 1.5 lbs.

Too bad I was in the middle of an El Presidente when I learned that I didn't get the overtravel adjustment right.

Nolan,

    It is always a source of amazement to me that an item with so (relatively) few parts as a 1911 can have SO MUCH subtle technology and so many issues that can manifest themselves when we try to "perfect" it.

       Like my Papa used to say, "As we go, we learn".

  Best of luck,           Jeff
