| I have a newer springfield 1911A1 Loaded. It has a match grade trigger with a groved face. After extended range sessions (300+ Rounds) these groves start to hurt my finger. Dose anyone have any experiance with grinding down the triger face? Or dose anyone know of a match grade triger with a amooth face? |

Here's a tip: Try wrapping some 600 grit sandpaper (using double-backed tape) around a 1/4" wooden dowel. You can then gently break the sharp edges off the trigger. I bet it's the edge where the front-face meets the side edges, or the front face itself. Just keep an eye on WHAT you are sanding to make sure you don't do "collateral damage". |
| I've seen people having trouble with the sharp edges on the triger, and I've seen people have problems with the overtravel stop hole. Another idea to fix the sharp edges is to remove the trigger and, using a small round file, radius the edges of the trigger. You can do the same to the serrations. A way to fix the hole is to chamfer it. If you have a Dremel tool or something similar, they usually come with a variety of attachements, or you can pick them up at a hobby store. Look for a small ball cutter. You can use this to chamfer the hole by hand. Don't try it at speed in a Dremel, as you will cut right through that soft aluminum. |
