| Wilson Combat says they only supply 3 hole triggers on their pistols and no other style because of what they call "trigger bounce" to which I don't know what they mean. I like solid triggers, but should I re-think this because of Wilson's claim? Thanks> |

What they're probably referring to is the tendency of heavy triggers to bump the sear due to their inertia when the slide is released from slidelock, etc. With modern aluminum triggers, trigger bounce is mostly a non-issue on all except the ultra-light trigger jobs. Dane Burns used to sell a solid trigger with no overtravel screw hole and hollowed-out cuts on the rear of the trigger shoe. It weighed about as much as a 3-hole trigger but had no externally visible holes. Look here for the "Hard Use" trigger. www.carryguns.com/showcat.php?cat=Parts |

I'm no 1911 expert but my understanding is that the lighter the trigger, the less likely it will be affected by inertia under recoil, and "bounce" off the hammer hooks on the sear, which could cause the hammer to follow. Ahh... here's a quickie google explanation:

yes, I think so. Also, solid triggers can be lightened to it would be a non issue anyways. |
